backyard farmer

I WOULD LOVE THIS IN MY BACKYARD. But with our current state of "up-in-the-air-ness" with our lives, this will have to be on hold. Still its okay to dream right?...

(Its a chicken coop for your backyard. It's super cute and clean looking. Go here for details.)

Time out for Women

I will be here this weekend. Soaking it all in, and a few stops at our favorite 2nd hand stores, right mom?

Finally, I know.

FORGIVE ME. I've been so BAD at blogging. I think its having to actually type something on here, and I just never am in the mood to do it. I like just posting some pictures on here because its easy. Besides, I would rather be outside in the garage painting and sanding!

These are just a few of some pieces I've been working on. The blue ones are going in my bedroom to actually be a "bedroom set" for Mitch and I since we've never really had one. And the white dresser is Cam and Jack's. It needed a white wash after a couple years of markers, and stickers (naughty little boys).

I love my paint sprayer. FO SHO!

Just some picts of my living spaces in my home. I don't think we'll be living here much longer as we are trying to sell our home to start a new adventure with Mitch in College. If you know anyone who is looking to buy a SUPER home in the Pasco area, please email me: nanciemathews79@yahoo.com

Kate: I hope they work.

Confession: I never take "professional" pictures of my kids...even at Walmart. Yup I'm super lame. I just always see the trouble of it instead of the GREAT payoff after they're done. But I finally got them into a friend of ours who owns his own photography business.

Dang, my kids are cute.

Shameless advertising pitch: Call Damon Fairchild Photography! He does a great job with kids and families (and its that time for your high schooler's senior portraits). His studio is close by, on Gway in Richland and has a number of cool backgrounds, or does beautiful outside shots too! I also heard he is running a sale, 30% off in the month of March. Call him TODAY: 509-727-3671.

Definitely Worth It!

SPY party

Camden turned 7 at the end of January. I wanted to post this and show how talented my mom and sister are. Mom and Hollie did a "SPY" birthday for Cam and he loved it. Kids showed up to a spy training facility and did activities that had anything to do with spying. They made these cute brief cases out of pizza boxes and the kids took home their loot inside them. The boys took fingerprints, drew chalk bodies on the driveway, searched for lost jewels, tracked animal prints, and a treasure hunt.

It was a success! The kids loved it and especially Cam.
That party he will remember for sure. And he might even remember that his own mom made it up, I might get the credit for that one. Ha ha.
