Happy Teacher Appreciation Week

Thank you teachers for all that you do!


Emma and I gave her teachers little boxes of chocolate covered strawberries.

We have a picture of Em with her other teacher, Miss Stephanie, but it was WAY blurry! Sorry!

Grandma's 80th Birthday Party!

My mom and aunts threw my grandma an 80th birthday party last Sunday! It was a quilting theme because my grandma is a master quilter!

Ignore the milk ad in the background. We were at a school!

Everyone brought their quilts that Grandma had made. These are mine and Emma's!

I'm pretty sure she stole a piece of fondant off the cake.

Innocent face?

Aunt Melba and Grandma- she got emotional, as usual ;)

She was very surprised to see all the quilts.

Kept saying, "I didn't make all these!"

Look at all those tiny stitches. HAND stitched stitches.

Sprucing up the back porch

Clinton and I decided the back porch needed a little work. And first on the list was our dilapidated picnic table (no picture, of course!). It had to go!  We got a new one, but it was still pretty boring.

 It needed paint!

 
We made one other quick update, too. Hung our big C outside as art! 

Em helped.

Since then, I've gotten some colorful pillows and flowers, but I don't have a picture. It is WAY messy out there right now. I'll take one later ;)

Shameful Neglect

Yes. I have shamefully neglected my blog! I know you all have been going crazy waiting for my next riveting post! I humbly apologize for leaving you anxiously waiting to read about our latest adventures! To tide you over until I get a proper post put together, here is a few random pics from the last couple of weeks!

*Most are phone pics! Sorry, if they are blurry!*
