My little fishies












I LOVE my new Nikon D5000 camera...it' takes great pix! Here's 2 of my little fishies. Kameron is 4 and learned to swim very early...he's been going off the boards since he was 2... he wasn't potty trained, but he could swim!
LOVE, Love, Love my camera!
Oh, and Kam learned to ride a 2 wheel bike, Kolby taught him yesterday....I have video and have to figure out how to put it on here!
I'm trying to blog more often than once a month!

Planning ahead

This became part of our family today....it's a project car for Kolby.....hhhmmmmm....not sure where the men in my life are going to find time to work on their car, but it's ours now nonetheless! I guess I have to look past the peeling paint and rust and see the potential.....my husband is giddy and smiley about the car....and he doesn't get excited about much.....so...this weekend...I got a new fun camera and he got a project car....and our son won their baseball championship....lots of excitment here let me tell you!!!!!

MTZ Mustang Farm Champs

So, my son's baseball team won their Championship game today...very exciting....so fun! And....I got a new Nikon camera last night and got to experiment with it today....which was really fun! Ok, so this isn't the best pict of my son, but ....you get the idea! I'm so not a professional photographer....and this is my first SLR camera EVER, so I have a lot to learn!

Hair: woven piggy knots


AHHH....once again, so sorry for the poor quality of pict....I'm without a camera!








Hair: Twist Crown

So, Yeah....totally getting addicted to the whole hair thing! Love doing cute "do's" for Ashlyn!!!
I actually sat at the ball field and did a little girl's hair tonight at Kolby's ballgame! It's fun trying to come up w/ new and creative "do's"! And, yeah....she sleeps in them I add a little more water and goo---and she wears them for MORE THAN ONE DAY!!! I did this Sat, and I refurbished it and she wore it to church Sunday too!!





Whaalllaa! My new bathroom Walls!!







It took about 1 hour...THAT'S IT! And, these picts don't even almost do it justice...so much better in person! It's so warm and model home-ish! It WAS very sterile and blah......I put a rubber glove on, then a jersey cotton glove over that was all of $1.50 and mixed 1 part Truffle paint to 3 parts glaze and I dipped my glove in the paint and rubbed on the glaze....it was the fastest and easiest paint project ever! Now I have to run out to Hobby Lobby tomorrow and get a shelf and a couple of picts!














Quickest Bathroom Make-over EVER!! Before Picts

So, my camera died at the St. Louis Zoo--it sat in my bag in some liquid that spilled...still not sure what it was! Then my phone died too....so, I'm having to rely on my mom's camera--which isn't the most recent camera w/ the 1" viewer...all of that to say--sorry for the quality of picts....I couldn't tell they were that bad when I took them....but we moved in 5 years ago and our 1/2 bath had a cool wrinkly tissue paper technique on the walls, but it look horribly boring and bland...so, I have been wanting to glaze over them...so, Mom and I did it today! She's visiting for 3 weeks and this was a project I wanted to complete during her visit!
