roller derby Avi & the bug atrium...

first let me start by saying, i am not dead... just super busy & a little overwhelmed.  i won't go into that right now, but i will give you a funny glimpse into the past couple of days at our house.

yesterday i was doing some painting ::: more on that to come ::: when i looked over and saw becks helping avi get decked out in his roller skating gear.  when i asked her what they were doing he simply looked at me & calmly explained that he was going to hook a rope on to the back of his power wheel john deer tractor & then avi was going to hold onto it & he was going to pull her:)  when i calmly told him that was a very terrible idea, he smiled & said..." maybe when she's 45."  i chuckled & said, "maybe:)"  after i foiled that plan, avi wasn't ready to give up.  she sported that look for a good hour.  even after becks moved on to his potato bug atrium.  as soon as i had gotten them to bed, i went right outside &  released his captives from there 'honey i blew up the garden' home & finished my painting... which my mother-in-law won't comment on.  i'm pretty sure that no news is bad news on this one.  i'll put it up for vote later in the week.

honoring...

all of those we have loved & lost. 

 

i know i have been M.I.A myself for a while.  i am so busy i can barely find time to sleep.  i have gotten some calls from people making sure i am okay, seeing that i am usually posting a lot more frequently.  i am fine!  i just have TOO many things going on right now!  

i hope you all have a great holiday & i promise i will post in a week or so!

a girls 1st prom...

my beautiful niece monique, went to her very 1st prom last weekend & i had the privilege of helping her get ready!  i could go on & on about how amazing this gal is, but more than that... she is my niece & i love her to death.  i'm glad you had fun spank!

it's a boy...

one of my little sisters friends from grade school is having a little boy this summer & this last weekend heaphy (my little sis) & her friend threw her a shower... which meant i got to help out:)  it really turned out cute.  here are a couple of pics of the stuff i helped with.

three chicks & a boy...

Disclaimer** don't run off & call PETA!  no animals were harmed while doing these pictures:)

meet lexie & lilly- my sweet friend who i talk about quite a bit, debbie lew, got these darlings chicks for her grandkids for Easter.  so monday morning we went down to take some pics of the kids with the chicks.  by the time we left, becks couldn't bear to leave them.  so being the soft hearted animal lover that i am... we now have 2 chicks, just waiting to get big enough to go the chicken farm:)  so if anyone wants to come play with the chicks-- come on over!  you have to admit~ they make a perfecto photo op! 

when life gives you rain...

make a fashion statement!  lately the posts have seemed to be all about avi... becks has been a little camera shy.  anyhoo, when it rained today we were just getting ready to go to dinner but avi wanted to play in the rain before we went.  i loved the miss matchy outfit & couldn't help but grab my camera & snap a couple shots.  even though it has been super gloomy lately, avi seems to really brighten up ANY day!

 

 **check back next week & i'll be giving you these little picture scalloped picture frames i made:)
