Painting Again

I started on the hall, guest room and guest bath today. I'm going to get more paint tomorrow and hopefully, finish up the painting. I then have to make valances for the guest room, get the valance washed for the bathroom and shelving put up in the bath.

My friend from CA will be here on June 4 and I sure hope I have everything finished by then. I still have the sewing/computer room to do but that will be later in the summer.

Fun Day!!

I had soooo much fun at the zoo. Cannon, Brennan & Avery were in great moods and so sweet. I enjoyed watching the animals and we were almost ready to leave when it started to rain. We spent some time in the gift shop until the rain stopped then we headed to the car. Everyone was hungry so we stopped and ate, picked up their Dad and came home. I got home around 10:00, took alittle longer because of the rain.

I am tired and almost ready for bed. It has been a wonderful day with our sweeties!!

Going To The Zoo!!

I'm going to the Memphis Zoo with Debbie, Cannon, Brennan & Avery. Danny has an appointment so we are taking him there, then going to the zoo for a few hours, pick Danny up and go out to eat. I'm so excited!! I have as much or more fun than the kids!!

Details later...

Two Rooms Finished

Our Master Bedroom and Bath are finished!!

I also cleaned and organized my sewing room again, started on more projects so it will be to clean again soon.

The guest room and bath are next. Not much to do there, just clean and toss all the 'junk' that we have been keeping, make some window toppers and that room is done. I plan on painting the vanity, doors and trim in the bathroom and maybe make a new topper for the window. I have so much fabric that needs to be folded and put away and patterns that need to be logged and stored....whew...more work than I thought.

Fun Day

I made four miles again today, sure hope I can keep this going! Stopped by Wal Mart on the way home to get some strawberries and a few other things. We are so hooked on strawberries, it will be hard when they are gone.

I did some painting in our bathroom this afternoon. I still need to get the shower curtain, hooks, towel racks and bath tissue holder put up and then I hope I'm finished in our room and bath. This has taken way too long!!

We went to see Abigail play ball tonight. They are soooo cute. Hunter is also entertaining to watch, never a dull moment with that little guy.

I LOVE my family!!

Four Miles!!

I walked four miles today in an hour & five minutes!! I know that doesn't sound like a lot but I am thrilled. Sure wish I would do that everyday, maybe the weight would start to come off.

While we were in town, we saw Jeremy, Bridget, Abigail & Hunter. Hunter was asleep, Bridget said that he was eating french fries and was almost asleep. They had been to Lani's Kindergarten graduation and were on their way to Trevor's 8th grade graduation.

I was going to do some things in the house but I think I feel a nap calling me!!

Pre-school Graduation Program

After church I met my brother for lunch then went to Jeremy & Bridget's to wait until time for Abigail's program. The kids were so cute. Her class didn't graduate, they have another year before going to Kindergarten. They sang several songs then gave us some info about themselves which was super cute!! The children had made a poster 'What I Want To Be When I Group Up', Abigail said that she wants to be a cop...LOL!! The school gave them a nice scrapbook for their school years. Hunter watched for awhile then he took a nap. I'll post pics when I get them.

Graduation!!


Tuesday night was a big night for us. Cannon & Brennan graduated from Pre-K and they were soooo sweet!! After a few songs, they received their 'diplomas'. We were so happy to see them, and of course, we are so proud of them. Avery was really good, he listened to the songs and as each one received their diploma he gave them a big round of applause. They are all growing up too fast!!

Happy Mother's Day

I had a wonderful day. Went to Jackson and had lunch at Brookies Barn with Danny, Debbie, Cannon, Brennan & Avery; Jeremy, Bridget, Abigail & Hunter. The food was good and all the kids were very good. Thanks for lunch Jeremy & Bridget!! Abigail & Hunter gave me a pretty trivet with their pic on it. Cannon, Brennan & Avery gave me a photo album complete with their pics on each page and they made me a card. I love my gifts!! Thank you all soooo much!!

I LOVE my family!!

Still painting...

My neighbor (Jean) and I painted our master bath today. Just have to put up the border, get the shower curtain and rugs and the bath will be finished. We made a fast trip to Corinth last night to get a valance for the bedroom, they only had one so I ordered one, it should be here next week. While Jean is working on the hall next week I'm going to paint the trim and the vanity in the main bathroom. I plan on making valances for the guest room but may end up buying them, just depends on the time.

I want to get some shorts and tops made for the grands to take to the beach. I think they are leaving June 10 which isn't that far off.

Home Face Lift

I have been doing some redecorating. I've finished painting the MBR and now I'll start on the master bath. I have to strip the wallpaper, paint and put up border in the bath. I have our comfort set but still need to get the curtains. Of course, since I'm totally changing colors I'll need a shower curtain and rugs for the bath. Then it is on to the guest room, bath and sewing room. Haven't decided on colors for those yet. It is a lot of work but I LOVE it!!

Fun and Games

Hunter stayed with us for awhile today so Bridget could take Jeremy to the doc for his post-op exam. He got a good report and can resume driving, so that will help them out a lot!

We have been enjoying watching the grands play ball. I went to watch Abigail and she did great. I watched Hunter so their Mom could take pics.

Then we went to watch Cannon and Brennan play. They did great also, they can really hit. Avery was so sweet!! He was in his stroller for awhile and he went anywhere he wanted to go by pushing his feet, of course, he went backwards but hey as long as it works, right!!??!!
