I finally finished the two tables.....

that I blogged about here.  I am a procrastinator...but I finally finished the second table this weekend.  It was a lot more work than I anticipated.  I modified the base from the original plans because I want to add some baskets for storage. Check out Anna White's blog, she is fabulous. Her plans are very easy to follow, very thorough.

Better late than never....

I have been neglecting the blog.  We had a busy summer, and I didn't take any pics! Well except for their birthday which I will post later!

These are just some random t-ball shots, followed by the end of the year party and trophy ceremony!  It was cute and they even made sure the girls trophies had girl players on them.

FOUND IT!

I found my camera cord! Thank you lawd!  I was cleaning up last week, preparing for my moms visit and BAM. there it was on top of the refrigerator.  Yeah I know, why was I cleaning the top of the fridge?  Whatevs...I found it.

So Gabby had her recital a couple of weeks ago, and there were no cameras or camcorders allowed into the theater (WTF?) so here are pics from the day of the rehearsal.

She did better than I thought she would, being that this was her first year in dance.  It was the sweetest thing ever.  And even better, she wants to continue.  Yay, I was hoping she would.

I lost my wire!

the wire to my camera so I can download pics.  Blah.  Nothing fantastic is going on .  The kids started baseball, Gabby revealed she no longer likes dancing and it's HOT!


Mom is coming for a visit in June, so that shall be nice.  The kids turn 6 soon. My gawd, where does the time go!  I still need to figure out what we are going to do. Decisions on a small budget are HARD!


Running has worked it's way back into my life (I know, I know), my knee is agreeing with the longer runs, but my time is slower than slow, but I am pleased that I am out there again.


Here's a short list in my boring life that I am excited about:
1. Going to see Wicked next week
2. Just found out MUSE is coming to our little side of the world.
3. My babes are not babes anymore, they are growing way to fast.
4. It's almost SUMMER, although it could be summer now with the high temps.
5. Jack Johnson will be here in August!
6. Less than 60 days till Eclipse is at IMAX.
7. Coming up on our 8 year wedding anniversary!


Okay I am done.....

Water for Elephants!

I loved this book.  I like period pieces that make you feel like you are in that era, and Sara Gruen did just that with this book!

Was SOOOOO EXCITED to find out that a film adaptation is in the works, and even more excited that Robert Pattinson will play Jacob (Robert playing a Jacob,,hahahaha) and Resse Witherspoon will play Marlena!

Eh that's about I all got to say!
