Happy Birthday to my Mom, the Night Owl

The cake I made for mom on her birthday. She liked it. Even Andrew was impressed.

Happy Birthday Andrew!!

To the new graduate: Happy Birthday!

The Big Pour- A New Driveway

After months of scheming, it is finally here. We were so blessed with tons of help. We even had some neighbors come over and help out, just to be nice- it was amazing. It was a big project; the cement truck had to bring 3 full loads and another half load just to finish the job.

We love it! A HUGE thank you to all who had a hand in this!!

Visitors from the South

Andrew's sister, Amanda came to visit- and did we ever have some fun! Amanda does flower parties, so naturally we did a few while she was here.

A few of our "creations."

One of our sweet sugar cookies.

It was great to see her and Zach and spend some quality time together!

Handy Andy Strikes Again

I did not get the "before" picture, but believe me- this is an upgrade. We had one board that went across the entire closet space. It was probably 3 feet deep and impossible to reach things in the back. Not to mention it wasn't very aesthetically pleasing. I love our new cabinets- thank you, Mr. Hughes.

Andrew enjoying a well-earned break.

The Best!

Andrew graduated from Grand Canyon University!!! He is done and we are super excited. I asked to get a picture of him (looking all smart), but he's camera shy. We took my parents to La Crosse, had a wonderful meal at Outback, and did some sight-seeing. The rock formations are beautiful. This time of the year, aqua blue ice can be seen hanging from the rock. It's quite stunning. Sorry about the non-quality pictures. I'm actually quite proud of them. I took them from the back seat of a moving vehicle. A for Effort.

So Stinkin' Cute

They are all here! Almost. It's a work in progress.
