Hair Bow Drawers

Before...

ok so here are the drawers un painted.

First I painted the outside.


Then I had little helpers paint the drawers.

I then modge podged paper to the front of each drawer.

Then I sprayed them with sealer.

And here they are finished!

First Day of School

Daniel and Emma, they all got ready really well. Daniel was excited to see his friends,and found out his best friend that moved halfway through last year is coming back and in his class! Emma also has friends from church in her class! It is going to be a good year!



Nathan hung out with his best friend Bizzy.

And here is the outfit she was supposed to wear the first day but decided to save for the next.

Beau turned 28

Daddy had a Birthday! He turned 28! There are only 18 candles on the cake we ran out. We asked what he wanted for his birthday, he said a whole day of gaming so that's what he got!

Mango Strawberry Jam

I made mango strawberry frezzer jam. It looks yummy! And it is...I wanted to capture the processes but I lost my camera, then found it after I finished. I can't wait to make more!

My Little Fisherman

While we were on vacation in Oregon Nathan caught, cleaned,and ate his first fish. He was very proud of his first catchand it got bigger each time he told the story. So for those of you who heard it was huge here are the pictures to prove that it was! Nathan also recently learned how to shoot his very own BB gun. He is a natural, I have no pictuure because I'm not brave enough to go out while he has it (not really) I was busy shooting a pellet gun, it was awesome! We had fun this summer learning new things!

My Little Boy Scout

This happened a while ago, but I just found time to write about it. Daniel is now in cub scouts and LOVING every min. of it!He loves getting awards for completing something.

The 4th of July

This year we decided to go camping for the 4th. Beau was given camping supplies for Fathers Day, so I decided we needed to test them out.Since Yellowstone is only 80 miles away I thought that it would be fun.
We left friday afternoon, the first site we were given was well taken over by some rednecks that stole our table and had very colorful language, we didn't even get out of the car. We went and asked for a new spot, they gave it to us.
We stayed until monday, it was fun, but I am pretty sure yellowstone only has Buffalo because that's all we saw. aparaently everything else goes to bed in the afternoon.
The kids enjoyed camping but the best quote is from emma "mom are we going to drive around alot and then stop and look at nothing?" This was said on our second day at yellowstone. I replied "yep, that's what we're doing today".The boys played with their army men and staged battles then we created a rescue mission to save all the lost soldiers.To see more photos check out facebook.We made the best cobbler ever! It was chocolate cherry and super yummy!1 large can of cherry pie filling,1 chocolate cake mix(I used devils food), slice up 1 cube of butter on top and then 16oz of sprite on top of that. Cook until done, it took about 30min. we topped it with cool whip.
And this is my favorite picture! Overall we had a great weekend and came home exsausted.It was nice to not have any homework, and be able to spend all that time with the kids.
