Classic Country Fridays

27 04 2012

You know your just as excited as I am about classic country music!

We recently found a classic country station here in Louisville and I love listening to it.  It brings back memories of when I was growing up.  I will try and post a song or music video each Friday for a while, sharing some great classic country songs from my past.

DIY Bookshelves from a pallet

11 04 2012

I found this idea on a blog that I read.  I also saw it on Pinterest and had to try it.  When your tight for money, *almost* free crafts and projects are the best!

First start with a pallet.  It has to be the kind pictured, or else it wont work.

The Pallet

Then make 2 cuts to get 3 pieces.  You’ll use the 2 end pieces.

Knock out middle support.

Thanks for the help Abby!

I got this one Dad....

Add the bottom piece and sand.

Then Paint and volia!

I love the color, "High Dive"

The full view.

Mike and I got jealous so we had to get them too.
His and...

Hers!

We were trilled with how they turned out.  We got the pallets for free at a local flower shop and a local playground realtor.  Just the cost of paint, screws and sanding blocks we were set!





I’m becomming more and more official each day. A Kentuckian!

Kentucky address    CHECK

Drivers License       CHECK

New Insurance       CHECK

License Plates      CHECK

I felt like I needed something personal….

Feeling a bit more complete now. :-)

 

Now I need a wall decoration and car sticker and I will be happily on my way to “official” status.





Girls, Guitars and Bubbles

15 03 2012

"I'm so excited, I'm so excited a Guitar a Guitar!"

Abby is a bit excited!

"DORA DORA DORA"

She knew all of the songs in about 5 minutes, and there are like 30 of them!

Our rocker!

So sleek!

Her favorite way to play and sing.

Dueling guitars all girls show. HallasPalace Living room every day.

What could be a better way to celebrate 70+ degrees than with bubbles.

Bubble pipe

Apphia likes eating and licking the bubbles on the sticks.

Spring is in the air here and it is only March.  Shorts, flip flops and scraped knees from here on.  :-)





Swimming Lessons at SBTS

15 03 2012

Last week Abby started swimming lessons at Southern.  She had so much fun.  It was her first time realizing you can take lessons.  Now she wants to take dance lessons.  We told her one thing at a time.  :-)

Learning to kick

She did so well her first time out!

Abby wasn't so sure about this but she tried floating and did great!

Gliding: Holding onto the wall, putting one hand out and pushing with her feet off the wall. So brave!

Unfortunately we just got told (week 2) that the heater in the pool went out and they are going to have to cancel until further notice.  So it might be a few weeks before we get to do lessons again.  In the mean time there is a community pool that Mike will take Abby to.





Birds of Winter in Kentucky

15 03 2012

Seems strange that a week ago we received 3 inches of snow and this morning I woke up to the windows being open all night, 66 degrees and birds chirping.  That’s Kentucky!

There was a 2 hour late start that day for Kids.  I just had to laugh.  The streets were so warm that no snow stuck to the streets.  Needless to say kids took the opportunity to make snowmen.  It was horrifying to see them melting in 70 degree weather the next day.  :-)





Happiest Birthday my sweet girl, Apphia
