Time to get in gear pam!

Pam, I really want you to start a blog so I can leave you messages! It's been awesome hearing from you!~!

Lets Get Creative!

Yesterday I caught the "creative bug" and went to town on my upper living room. We haven't really paid much attention to this room because we spend most of our time in the lower living room where the t.v. is;}. Anyway, I decided to take an old step stool that was light brown and painted it a color called "white chocolate". One of the legs on it is broken so I decided to turn it around so you couldn't see that leg and ran into the problem that the back of the stool looked flat and plain to me so, I decided to put a few silk flowers on it. I wasn't sure how it would turn out but, was pleasantly surprised! I actually saw something similar to this done on a wicker basket. Avery wanted to get in on the action and loved these purple mums I got from Wallmart for $1 a stem!!

Peach Days

I went to Peach Days yesterday with my friend Tracii and her 2 1/2month old baby, Malorie. I thought this flower garden was beautiful.













Isn't Malorie the sweetest looking baby?! She was so good!



























Tracii let me borrow this umbrella stroller to cart Avery around in. I love the little umbrella part on the top! It just clicks right on the sides of the stroller.













Has a child ever looked more confused than this one right here?!lol

Avery has discovered that she really actually likes apples! For the longest time she wouldn't eat them when offered to her; then one day she saw me eating on and of course now she does! Kids are so funny. Anyways, Avery love playing in the dirt in our backyard and the other day I caught her under our crabapple tree eating her apple. How perfect.









































Does it get any sweeter than that?

Fall Flowers

Harley and I decided to "liven" up our yard a little and purchased some mums from Costco. Aren't they beautiful!!
















Then, we got some pansies and this cabbage looking flower. The cabbage actually died and so did some of the pansies that I so carefully planted. Not quite sure what I did wrong but, I was upset. I've been doing all kinds of research on the computer to look for the perfect plants for our yard! It's a lot of work!!!

My Brother Jared

This is my brother, Jared. He came over for a bbq on the 4th of July.

















Avery wasn't too sure about him at first but, of course she warmed right up to him fast...He's like a big teddy bear!














He's probably the only family member that I REALLY look like. So, that makes it nice knowing if I was adopted...so was he;}
What a handsome guy!

DUCKIES!

Harley recently took Avery to a pond to go fishing with him, his friend Phillip, and Phillips nephew. Avery LOVES playing with water, rocks and dirt. If all three are available at once, even better! As you can see the child is in heaven. She will park herself right in front of any river, pond, puddle or, lake and get right to work throwing rocks into the water-if available. Otherwise, she settles for just playing in the water.



It's funny to me that the ducks aren't more afraid of her.
