Memorial Day

And I'm proud to be an AMERICAN,

where at least I know I'm free.

And I won't forget the men who died,

who gave that right to me.

I'm in Heaven

Here is my sad, tiny, old, little fridge. I've begged Robbie for years to get a new one but this one was funtioning so the answer was "no". I'm afraid I would be using this fridge for years to come and with growing boys to feed I NEEDED an upgrade sooooooo...........

I surprised my sweet husband with THIS!!! I wouldn't recommend making big purchases like this without husband approval in most cases but THIS was a NECESSITY!

I hear ANGELS singing when I open the doors.

This was the selling feature right here.

My life is almost complete. My kids are healthy, I have my new fridge, now all I need is a Sgt. Steam.

It doesn't take much

It doesn't take much.... just some polka dot ribbon.....
to make me happy.

Third times a charm....I hope.

I have a serious illness, I paint...and paint...and paint. Maybe you remember this project from a few months ago. Well, I decided that I didn't love the red. I thought it was just too dark. So yesterday I painted it this bright red and put new silver hardware on it. But I just didn't LOVE it so this morning.......

I painted it again!!! I had some "heirloom white" spray paint that I had used from another project (which I will post about later) and some left over pretty green paint from years ago. I think I LOVE it.

It drives my mom AND husband crazy that I am constantly thinking "PAINT". But hey, there are much worse things right? And paint is cheap!

If I can MAKE it there, I'll make it ANYWHERE...

Last week was Grantsville's famous production of the First Grade Circus! I had been waiting 7 years to see my sweetest Canyon take the stage at this Greatest Show On Earth! He was a MAGNIFICENT MUSCLEMAN! Here he is warming up at home before we left for the first performance.
We went with a RODEO clown costume.....super cheap and easy, just how I like it.
Isn't he a doll?!

Max, Laramie, and Canyon at the night performance.

This was the best pic I could get from the top of the bleachers. Canyon's the one in blue. Robbie said he was the only one who could do a REAL push up. I guess that's because Robbie's been teaching him since he was 2!!! The best was his grimacing face and and shaky arms as he lifted those weights.
