As promised, here are a few shots of our Project Disney 2010 album. Photos aren't that great, but oh well, you'll get the idea. What I really love about this is being able to add in random memorabilia with the photos. And it's so easy!! I did this entire album in about three ...
A few cool photos……
How awesome are these photos? Would you like to know what they were taken with? AN IPHONE.... yep, you heard me right. An iphone. Taken underwater.With this case:A LifeProof case. They run about $80 and are made for underwater (and everything else for that ...
A friendly little wager
After another fun-filled day at the pool, soaking up the sun, the girls and I came home to sort money. Justin has this gallon sized jug that he drops his change into each day, and lately, it's overflowing. So we divided all the money out until it looked like this:And then we all made ...
A Wedding Story
Last night, Justin and I went to a wedding in Florence (the first of three that we will be attending this summer....guess it's wedding season for our friends!). One of my sweet friends from high school got married, and it was so much fun seeing several of the people that I graduated ...
Project Disney
Today was a craft day at the West house. The littles painted suncatchers:And I came VERY close to finishing our Project Disney 2010 album. Why "Project" Disney, you ask? Well, my dear blog reader, I'll tell you. Becky Higgins is a great, famous person in the world of ...
Fear
The past few nights, we have been working on a new bedtime routine for the girls. I have always curled up in bed with them until they fell asleep, which sometimes could take a full hour. Well now, we read a book, say our prayers, and then I tuck them into bed and leave. ...
Our Saturday Adventure
A couple of weeks ago, I was able to score some indoor rock climbing tickets for super cheap. Kyndall always loves the rock walls at the beach, so I thought this would be right up her alley. Libby isn't into the adventure junkie stuff, so she decided to hang with my mom for the ...
Fun Friday
After one last day of VBS fun, and then a little pool time, I joined some friends at a jewelry party. The jewelry was Initial Outfitters. They have tons of gorgeous stuff. Like this amazing bangle bracelet: And these super cute charm necklaces:If you haven't heard of them ...
Blackberry Jelly…… Success!
We did it! With our 10 cups of blackberries picked yesterday, we made 4 whole jars of blackberry jelly! (We'll try not to eat it all in one morning!) It took us about 2 hours to make, and that includes picking the blackberries. Main lesson learned: We need LOTS more ...
Summer Manifesto
Tonight, we checked one thing off our "Summer Manifesto" and are well on our way to checking off another one. We rode all around the farm and picked blackberries. Kyndall loved it. Libby was too hot, and just wanted to ride the 4-wheeler!K with a hanful of blackberries that she ...
Rodeo Street Dance
This is what we do for fun on the Thursday night before a big rodeo. The county blocks off the street and we have an old-fashioned ho-down. OK, it's not quite as redneck as that. They do block off the street and one of the local bands played while everyone danced. There were some country line ...
Camping Out
Last night we took the girls camping out behind the house. Remember that we live on about 400 acres of farm land, so when I say behind the house, take that loosely. Justin worked most of the afternoon finding the perfect spot, bringing rocks from the creek to circle the fire, cutting ...
