I was playing around with "chalk" fonts in photoshop today and made this.

 Maybe I'll have it printed on a canvas?

BBQ Prep Cart

My aunt renovated her bathroom and I got to keep the vanity.

I forgot to take a true before picture. Just picture one of those bathroom sinks that is the counter and sink all in one.

We took that off and put on a regular piece of countertop. Then we put casters on a board and attached the vanity to that. (and removed that random board on the right side)

A couple of coats of primer and paint, some Hobby Lobby drawer pulls and bottle opener and voila! Now we have a rolling BBQ prep cart and/or buffet server!

Feels good to finally do a project!

Happy Birthday Julian!

We can't take treats to Julian at school today because they are taking the MSP and you can't interrupt the test. . .

We can't have Julian's special birthday dinner because he has a baseball game tonight. . .

We CAN have blueberry birthday muffins before he goes to school!

It doesn't quite seem possible that he's already 11 years old.

I sure love this kid. . .

"She waved at me!"

Samson at the Little League Opening Day parade. Super excited because the rodeo queen was waving at HIM.

This picture makes me a little sad. If he didn't have to wear glasses, I'd have captured his beautiful eyes instead of the reflection and glare of his glasses. I'm going to have to practice shooting those some more. . .

Glory to God

Julian is in the Christmas Cantata this year. This is just a little clip of the performance last night. Sorry about the shaky parts. Samson was climbing on me. You can hear him at the end of the clip.
