A LITTLE BIT OF EVERYTHING!

The twins yesterday in new outfits they got for their birthday!

momma hen...

At Brooke and Brandon's wedding they had a photo booth set up, it was the coolest idea ever. You went in and it took 4 different pics and then it printed out the pics double, they kept one and you got the other. The one they kept they had a lady pasting it in a scrap book and beside it you wrote something to them. How cool is that. Here are out photo booth pictures, the twins didn't know where to look but I think they are still cute!

Last night the clouds got dark and it looked like it was just going to storm hard, it never really did but when I went back outside to see if it ever started raining I saw this...........how beautiful!?!

It was a double rainbow!

Look how bright and vivid the colors of the rainbow are?

My new chair we got Sunday...I love it, I added the cushions and the side tables last night!

This is my newest project. I added some little wooden characters to the swing set along with some much needed hooks to hang wet bathing suits and towels. I think it turned out excellent!

The hooks I added.

Everything together.

the Klubhouse....

I absolutely LOVE the new sign...thanks April, it turned out so cute. You should really go visit her at http://www.sayitonasign.net/ she has some really cute signs and she will custom make you one too with whatever you want it to say!! Here is a close up of the sign, you can click on any one of my pictures I post on my blog and it will make them bigger for you!

I hope everyone has a great weekend. I'm sure we will, as long as the Mavs play like they did last night tomorrow, my weekend will be just fine:)

2 more projects....

These were little projects, but the first one was to hang some lights outside just on the little eve that covers the slide and glass door. It's ok, not sure I like them but the twins LOVED them so I guess I will leave them. And then just a new flower arrangement, Karlea loves her sutterfly (butterfly). Her and Karson fought over whose it was for 30 minutes:)

I hope everyone is having a nice day, we sure are, but how CAN'T you when the weather is sunny and hot??

Finished a couple of projects...

I finished the sandbox and the sandbox cover I made and I am very pleased with how it turned out. A friend of my mom's cut out the ply wood in the dimensions I needed and I did the rest. It's BRIGHT neon orange with LIME green knobs and summer accents along the ends.

Aren't all the little accents on the ends so cute?

Here are my chairs, which I don't like! They were turquoise but needed re painted really bad. So I thought I would tie those in with the same colors from the sandbox cover. I think I should have painted them with a paint brush NOT spray paint. They will have to do for now. I like the orange one better, the green one looks ridiculous. And then I just rubbed on a few accents to the back of the chair as you can see.

Here is the sand in the sand box....I need about 6 more bags of it.

I'm pretty proud of how it turned out and I KNOW the kids will love it. I may be regretting it when I have sand all in my house BUT it can be vacuumed up and the kids will enjoy the sandbox for hours!!

I got a few more signs yesterday, I thought they looked good after I finally figured out where to put them!

What a beautiful SPRING day!!

The twins and I were outside from 9:45 when we did my 4 miles until about an hour ago. It was so pretty here today. I can not wait until it's like this all the time!! We did alot today while we were outside enjoying this nice weather. First of all this is our new friend that joined the flower bed.... Its the Cowboys gnome. Isn't he cute? I think so!

This is my new little sun stake. I like anything to do with suns. I think it fits right in.

This is the other palm tree that we got from Uncle Jim and Aunt Nelda. We planted it in the back yard in front of this UGLY cable box hoping that one day it will kind of hide it. Thanks Jim and Nelda.

While the twins enjoyed their side walk chalk....this is Karson's work of art..

This is Karlea's work of art....

I filled up all of my little pail flower hangers and hung them on the fence in the back yard. I think they turned out great! I love them!! This is the left side as you walk out into the back yard.

This is the right side as you walk out into the back yard.

This is the back fence.

This is kind of an overall look of the back yard. I think it looks so good!!

Another view of the back yard.

This was my new flower project I did this evening on the back porch.

I think I like my flip flop thermometer the MOST!! How cute is it?? BUT after I thought I put it in the most perfect cutest place.....I read you are supposed to put thermometers in the shade NOT direct sun light and now I already have a SCREW hole on the front of the kids swing set.....so not sure how I'm going to fix that but other than that small minor problem I think it's super cute!!
