While we wait for Disney pictures........

Another furniture redo. I refinished my 2 family room side tables. The top is stained with the color provincial like the kitchen table, and the legs are painted in soft candlelight like the kitchen chairs. It took about 3 hours total.
I am hoping to start and finish our biggest furniture project sooner than later, but it will have to be when Bill is on board because I don't think it is a one man job.

Enjoy the before and afters below.

Easter!


I am a little behind on blogging. We had a great Easter this year. The kids participated in 2 Easter egg hunts. We had a family dinner on the Saturday before Easter at my sister Christy's house. On Easter the kids found there fun filled Easter baskets and went crazy on the candy. It was a nice day but it was also a busy day. Our church was at 2pm both Bill and I sang in Sacrament. After church, which ended at 5pm, we ate fast, and than Bill headed out to sing at the Easter Cantata (a Easter choir program). I stayed home with Baden and Bradley but I heard it was fabulous.

Enjoy the pictures of the kids Easter fun below.

Kickin it!

What a great season! Jillian just finished her second season of soccer. She loves to run, compete, and play. Her strongest part of the game always seemed to be the second half but when she decided to step it up, she was awesome!
It was fun this year as well, because she was recruited by a soccer club. We will most likely not be venturing that direction but it was a great compliment.
We plan to come back in the fall and hope that the heat doesn't melt us into the ground.
Way to to have a great season Jillian!
Love ya!
