Memory Lane

I saw this on my friends blog and thought it would be fun.

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot. Anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty fun to see the responses.If you leave me a memory about me, I'll assume you are playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one to you.

Roar!!

Thanksgiving Point had $2 Tuesdays in August, we were lucky enough to find out about it right before the last Tuesday of the month. We made a family event of it because, daddy loves dinosaurs and the girls love doing anything with dad, it's a great combo. As much as they loved seeing the dinosaur bones i think their favorite part was the river and digging room. I couldn't believe how many people were there, I'm glad the girls didn't mind sharing their space with several other kids. It's truly is amazing to see how big dinosaurs really were. I am glad we don't have to coexist with them. Check out the photo album.

Family Reunion





Recently we had a family reunion at seven peaks, It was a Blast. I wanted to post just a few of my favorite shots. I hope we do it again sometime, it was great visiting with everyone.

Face Lift

We have given our house a face lift and wanted to share pictures. We love everything about our house but the outside needed something, it was a lot of peach so we opted for a lift. What do you think? We are pretty proud of the way it turned out. I also have a star to go above the porch but I have decided to wait until the yard is done before putting it up.

Frustration

Have you ever tried to be very clear on your instructions and then surprised at how wrong someone understands what you have told them. Even if they repeat the same thing back to you.
I have been frustrated as of late with that very thing. We have been continuing to work on the house and yard. Because we have no idea how to do anything I have been researching and planning. I have done everything to learn what I needed to come to firm decisions but it seems that when I explain it to others they always miss the most important details. They know more than I do about these things and when I talk to them they act like I'm talking in another language. Have you ever had this happen? What frustrates you?
