Fun Friday

I came home from work to find this...

I needed a good laugh after the week I had... Thanks Andrew!

Weekend Roundup

If only weekends were longer… I love spending time with my babies! I made a

list of things that I wanted to do with them this summer & was able to check a few things off

Washing the truck Play in water

Cool off with Ice Cream

Make Crafts together

Tonight Jeremy & I took the kids to see this...

Andrew is a HUGE fan of Woody!

I can't wait until the weekend to have some more fun, fun, fun!!!

happy father's day, weekend!!!

Jeremy & I were fortunate enough to spend the entire day with our fathers. Everyone came to our house for Father’s Day so we had a house full of company & it was WONDERFUL! I have always been a daddy’s girl. I nearly lost him a few years ago so I cherish every moment that I have with him. I love that my kids get to play with him and snuggle in his lap.

I give my love, and gratitude to all the wonderful father's in the world, and to those who have already passed on...and, to the father of my children...

We know we are spoiled rotten because we have the Best Daddy in the whole wide world! These kids WORSHIP their daddy. We love you Jeremy…. Happy Fathers Day!

Adrianna wanted to make her daddy and grandfathers homemade gifts this year so we borrowed Shanna’s idea  HERE to make these Adorable coasters. All you really need is bathroom tiles, scrapbook paper, Modge Podge and photos!

Me trying to be crafty Part II

As promised, I am posting about my other treasure from the Goodwill store. I found this picture for $4

I have seen a million chalkboard projects in blog world.

I thought this can't be too hard - let me attempt to make one for Adrianna. I bought the chalk board spray paint from Hobby Lobby & have been on the lookout for the perfect frame for months - when I spotted this frame, I knew it was the one 

 {it was so cheap even if it was an epic fail

I wouldn't be out too much money!}

I took out the cardboard bird picture and spray painted it with the chalk board paint {luckily there wasn't any glass} & painted the frame blue. The hardest part was waiting for the paint to dry. Once it was all dry, I put it back together.

I was happy with the way it turned out & Adrianna LOVES it! She has been playing school with Andrew all weekend ;)

Me trying to be crafty

I have to show you my latest project... I’m excited because after about 5 trips to the Goodwill store, I finally

found not only one treasure but two

 {I usually browse the store and just see junk}

This tray was only $1

 

The hideous green paint was peeling off & there were several scratches but the black spray paint covered it all up. I have been dying to use my Mod Podge {crazy I know but it's the small things in life!} I waited patiently and when the paint dried, I mod podged some scrapbook paper inside the tray to give it some color.

I think it’s adorable!! Now, I have a place to put my

 keys, badge & sunglasses.

I’m working on my other treasure now and will post it later ;)

Wild River Country...

We grabbed our cousins and went to wild river country. 

 it was a perfect day!

 

Adrianna is my adrenaline junkie child who LOVES all the crazy, lose your breath kind of waterslides. 

 

  

They were too cool to get in the tad pool with Eli
 i was took this pic while they were sitting still.

Kenzie

These girls are so cute!

Fun Memories!

 

IT’S OFFICALLY SUMMER!

I hope everyone had a FUN Memorial Day! Jeremy had to work Saturday and Sunday so the kids & I decided to stay close to home and be LAZY. It was wonderful!

I finished my rocking chair project finally! {My Alphabet art… that’s another story} My dad bought this chair from a garage sale. At one time, it was red but the paint faded. It looked so nasty but Andrew spotted it & dragged it in the house. He loves it so I decided to give it some TLC and I am glad I did because it turned out beautiful! It’s amazing what sand paper & stain can do!

Adrianna had a couple of her friends stay the night on Saturday. I took them to Lake Dardanelle. They had a blast swimming. Andrew didn't like the sand on his feet or the water so he sat on a beach towel the whole time & played with his shovel and bucket.

We had this for dinner:

It is a great summer meal. Just add some crusty french bread, grab yourself a glass of wine and you're ready to sit down to a fabulous summer dinner on your deck.
