ugly chair make-over

I bought this chair at a thrift store for around $5. I added spray paint and a shower curtain for the seat for a new look for my guest room.

Betsy has won many medals for her Irish dance competitions called a feis (fesh). She is getting ready for her next one this saturday in Salt Lake.

cousins spring bbq

We had Ken's brother's family,sister-in-law, and lots of neices and nephews over for an Easter egg hunt and barbeque. We had J Dawgs (homemade)-- a college food favorite. Luckily the weather was cooperated since we had a big snow the morning before.

sillouettes

Can you tell which child is which based on their profile pictures I had made into vinyl sillouettes?

developing talents

I just want to send a congratulations to Betsy for winning two gold medals, a silver and bronze in her Irish dance competition in Salt lake! Also, she just won an art contest for a local flower shop who awarded her a rose bouquet on Valentine's Day. Her original drawing of a rose is hanging in their shop. Marcus just performed his first trumpet solo, accompanied by Jared on piano for the solo/ensemble festival. He just found out today he made it to regionals which really surprised him since he is still in concert band and a 9th grader. I'm so happy my children are finding joy and successes in developing their talents

18th anniversary

Ken and I just celebrated our 18th wedding anniversary. I took him to an old historic mansion here in Provo that was turned into a bed and breakfast. A nice getaway close to home.
