{Sunny Day}

Matt was working on his boat and I laid in the yard enjoying the sun and my husbands company. Neighbors stopped by and chatted too. It was really nice..

My view from the ground, Matt fixing the boat and the tree... :)

Me, laying in the sun... ahhh.. it's back!

And to leave you with some more sun..... :-)

Making bread.. yummm...

after the rise...

The buns... getting ready to raise again... I love making bread. It makes me feel like an old lady:)

Ready to bake!

BeAuTiFuLy out of the oven. I started to make them and then I thought, "If I'm going to all this work, I'm going to make a double batch" and then I wondered what I was thinking! I sometimes bake like I have twelve children. So, I gave some to the neighbors that I saw today... we have pretty amazing neighbors and they are such a blessing!

random, random, random.........

things that make me happy.....

some pretty candy in jars...

Dusty bottles... :) No, really, I am a good house keeper. I think I've pictured this before, but oh how I love them.. so pretty and simple.

Handsome brother, Tanner. He's 19 now. Hard to believe. Does that mean I'm getting older too???

I love markers. I baught these for myself. I didn't need them. But, I love them. These are Magic Markers. Oh. I love these. Now, I need to find uses for them... should I have figured that out before I got them???

Spring sunsets... the sky looks like it's on fire in a few of these!

Tyler's house that we've been working on siding. He's done a lot more since this picture last week!

The before and after...

I spent a LOT of time painting this little roof... had sore abs the next day:-)

Go here and maybe you'll win this neat ring!

O-VER-CAST

This is the sky we've been looking at for what feels like weeeeeks.. it's really only been days. There have been some pretty clouds. But no sun:( I might have been driving while taking this picture:-O

But, there is good news! The barges are back!!! We are so thrilled by this. Matt and I look for them every year! It's a sign that a whole new world is opening up to us. It's a sign of SUMMER. And, they are back!!

Re-Siding Anyone!?

Last Sunday we went and helped my brother, Tyler, start the re-siding process of his house. We will have to do this same thing some day:-/ It was time consuming. It was vinyl, then insulated cardboard, then cedar siding, then some paper stuff... and then it was the place we wanted to be!! There were so, so, so many nails!! That siding wasn't going anywhere.

See all the layers!?

It was cold!! We really thought that it was going to be nicer... it wasn't. There was one side of the house that was warm and that's where I was the most productive!

Our finished product! And then Tyler did a lot more later that night and the next night! He is so ambitious!

Puka! She's the star of the show, really. She's so fun and cute! She's got her own little personality!
