Can You Believe - another post??!??!

I'm on the same wave-length that it's hard not to snap pictures and post them when you have such cute subjects. And now I'm a lot more aware of the type/amount of pics I take. I will master the process eventually and become a quicker poster :)

Yesterday we went to my parent's house for dinner - but prior to leaving, Austin & I were playing an he amazed me by playing with this toy where he puts the ball in the "tree" and it drops down one of two ways and spins around. It was so funny that he picked it up and back through - over and over and over... so cute!

After dinner at the Grandparent's house... the dancing began - Luka has always loved dancing with my Mom - and now Austin is becoming a fan!! They dance to the oldies of Phil Sedeca (I know my spelling sucks - but I don't feel like looking up his name!) like "Oh Carol".



Now after a dance or two - time to wind down. Luka picks out the books for Grandma to read - aren't they cute?

Luka thought it was so cool to play with a train that belonged to his uncle...


If any of you know my Dad, he is one of the biggest Cub's fans out there! Look how lucky he is to have found a little Cub fan! My Dad is thrilled that Austin likes to watch the games - check out his jammies. We got these for Luka at the Cubs game 2 years ago.

Tomorrow Austin goes to my parent's house for the day and guess what? They will watch the game (and play of course!!) I love the picture with my Dad. Austin lights up every time he sees him!


Off to stitch a few before bed. More on that later.

34 Candles!!

Well, I made it through another birthday. I turned 34 on Friday and spent it with family at my parent's house - yum!

Here are Luka & Austin - Luka had the rare chance of sitting in Grandpa's chair!


Here is Austin - what a cutie pie! Getting soooo big!



This bird is so dang funny!! See my teeth?? 4 on top and 2 on bottom!



Daddy, I want to see too! Oh! Cars!!



Mommy is so silly - she always makes me *smile*



Oh, you want a picture? Just try now while I lay here.



What great help to blow out these candles on a wonderful homemade Texas Chocolate Sheetcake!!



Austin couldn't resist and grabbed some cake off Grandma's plate - he was quite pleased with himself!



My piece Mommy? Please?? I finally ate my dinner (2 seconds ago - cold)

House for Sale?

Okay, so the "Forest" house is almost ready and as of today the remaining items have been delegated to me - which include new gutters and a good cleaning (and other items to come I'm sure!!) Below are a few pics so far... (By the way I am learning to post pics and have a big learning curve so I apologize that these look so off)

Here is the outside - front, back, barn & property...























Here are a couple of the master bedroom & bathroom.













The new kitchen - obviously needs some cleaning...


























The dining area from the living room...














The new fireplace granite surround followed by an overall picture showing the painted marble and new mantle as well as the screen area - now black instead of gold!






Some upstairs pictures...

The breezeway...

















Finally the newly finished basement w/sauna - don't the floors look great? After cleaning of the dust of course...

First Entry

Dispite my previous attempts (and failures) to blog; I decided to try once more. This time I am using BlogSpot to appease a great friend. :)

So I suppose I need to start somewhere - let me grab some pictures and try a real post. Oh, the name? Wondering why it's not 3 boys (my hubbie)? Yes, I thought about that too...
