A new parking space....

As part of my summer fitness program I decided to build this extra parking space off of our main driveway because adding Hunter as a driver was going to make parking tricky. Soooo....after pricing plain ol' rocks, which would have taken all of about a weekend to finish, instead I decided to hand make each rock using a mold from Home Depot. This meant the project cost about 1/8 as much, but took 5 times as long and 8X the effort!!! But it's done..... I thought it came out pretty cool!

Mother's Day- Beautiful music together

It isn't the best quality of pictures in the world, but says a thousands things.....it totally typifies what a mother does. She brings out the best in her kids, challenges them to try something outside of their comfort zones, teaches them to work together for a common good, and makes sure they are in church on Sunday!! :-) And when they succeed it makes a beautiful sound! This was a great Mother's Day memory and my girls did an amazing job of playing their flutes!

Graduation!! Woo hoo!

It's hard to believe it's already been almost 4 months since this happened and I haven't updated the blog since then! But this was BIG news! After 6 long years, Deana has done it! That's right....she's now officially graduated with her Bachelor's degree in Psychology!! "Does that mean it's all over and she can start making crazy money from crazy people?", you ask? No! She's off to Grad School now (still at Texas State University) for only about 3 more years of this madness!! But for now.....it's another HUGE milestone outta the way!!! Way to go, Babe!! I'm a proud hubster!!! Obviously Mom and Dad are proud, too!

After the graduation we had an awesome day on Lake Travis where we rented a party boat for our family. There were some emotional (happy!) moments where Deana thanked everyone for helping her and supporting her efforts to get to this point

Now only 3 more years til she's out of Grad School!!! Yesssssss!!!!
