Grace is happily "watering" the plants in the yard. I am not sure how much water the plants actually got, but she sure looks cute doing it!

Jack had a lot of fun playing in the sprinkler. It was a nice, sunny day, perfect for some water fun!

giveaway!

I am doing my first giveaway! The first five people to respond to this post will get something made by me! My choice. For YOU! I got this idea from my good friend Cori. This is going to be fun and I can't wait to start some new projects. This offer does have some restrictions and limitations:

1. I make no guarantees that you will like what I make!
2. What I create will be just for you.
3. It'll be done this year. Hopefully sooner than later.
4. You have no clue what it's going to be. It may be sewn, painted, scrapbooky, or be something totally random that I come up with on a whim.
5. I reserve the right to do something extremely strange.

So, the first 5 people to do so and leave a comment win a fantastic homemade gift by me! Be sure to post pictures of what you won when you recieve it! :)

adventurers

The kids were playing in the backyard, running around. When I asked them what they were doing they all replied the same. "We are adventurers. This is our treasure map and we are on an adventure!" We definitely have a good yard for adventures :)

update

Here is a link to a photo of Richard winning his last tournament. When you get to the site click on photo gallery and scroll down.

so proud!

Richard has been playing in the International Players Tour since around December. He has done fairly well, with a few 2nd and 3rd place titles, but a couple of weeks ago he won 1st place! We are so proud of him and hope that he continues to do well. Golf is really his focus right now, and it is exciting to see him do so well. This plaque is now hanging on our wall and hopefully it will not be alone for long!

happy birthday mom!

Happy Birthday Mom! We wish we were there to celebrate with you, and we can't wait to see you at the end of the month. Thanks for being such a great mom and grandma, hope you have a wonderful birthday!
