Look what we have been up to....

Well here I go......

Alan started football and it has been a love, hate thing. He likes it and he doesn't......he likes playing and learning new things and the kids on the team are nice but......he is missing playing with friends, boy scouts and just everyday "stuff". I feel bad for him because it is a huge commitment but we are making him a stronger young man. (I hope)

Check out that push up!!!!!He has had some grulling practices with 2 hours 5 days a week for the first 2 weeks and now 2 hours, 3 days a week and it being over a hundred!!!

This was Midnight Madness...(He's in all white on the left)

This is after Midnight Madness. Tired and hot and dirty!!!

This was ascrimmage the other day and they kicked butt....(Alan on the left again)

This was his first game Saturday..The only way I ever know who he is is by his shoes.....they don't have their jerseys yet....

I am sure the coach was telling him to hold on ,I will put you in .....Alan told me he kept asking him.....I gave him a few pointers for next time to let him play more,we'll see if it works.. ;)

Here is Alan croutched down in the middle of this picture. Does he look professional or what!!! ;)

We went camping over Labor day

Rich trying to relax before the kids realize the hammock is up...

Who do you think was the first one to discover him but.........Lane and he would NOT stop pushing Rich. So here is Rich trying to ever so nicely tell Lane to STOP pushing him.

Ok here is where the day went a little crazy............ Ellie fell in the stream.

Alan threw something at Lisa.......

Thats Lisa giving Alan a dirty look....

So then Lisa throws a stick at Alan thinking he would move down,he didn't..................

she hits him in the lip with the stick

He has swollen top lip in this picture

So Lisa gets a time out....

eww..she hates it when I take a picture when she is pouting!!! LOL

Mean while Lane won't be quiet and he gets sent over to Rich who is TRYING to make dinner.

Then there's Ellie....hmmmm taking it all in giggling because she has the hammock all by herself and doesn't have to share. All this happened in about 5 minutes.

Then there was I'm sorry.....to the wrong person but, there was an "I'm sorry"

Ellie didn't have any camping shoes so off to Walmart we went and Ellie just HAD to have these shoes. I know,not so cute,but for $9.00 she was so happy.

Too bad I didn't get a picture of before they were filthy!!!

we finally got "the chair" done this is before, before...I almost forgot to take a before picture so a bit of the material is off,opps..

This is after it is painted...This is 'Thank goodness it is done!!!"

It is going to be a while before I can get help from Rich for another project like this one ;(

I think it came out pretty good,just don't look to close ,LOL

Do you remember this.....

Now it looks like this at the end of my bed!! I love it, it didn't take me too long to get this done. But boy did my fingers hurt from taking out all that tufting.

We took a little road trip to Kanab and bought this sideboard off Craigslist. I totally forgot to take a before picture so here is the after. Rich took off the doors on the sides so I am going to put some cute baskets in the openings. What do you think? This is going to go in my craft room. I love this piece.Here is close up of it "shabby chic'd" cute huh?Well, as usually you can tell we are busy. Rich is at work the next few days recooperating!! LOL

Much love, Sherrie
