Happy Father’s Day, Part 2

So-you may remember that this happened a couple of weeks ago.

It was Daddy’s Father’s Day present last year and he loved his car VERY much.  You know…the kind of love where he goes out and wipes it down with a chamois and stuff like that.

Yesterday we drove to Chicago and this was the first look we had at this girl.  I’m pretty sure that we both fell in love with her at first sight.  And then I test drove.  He always makes me drive.  He didn’t even drive it until last night after we dropped the rental car off . 

Long story short…we bought our first S series.  Love IT.  Not sure what I love more-the 340 hp 4.2L V8…or the ridiculously comfortable Recaro seats that hug your butt while you’re driving…

Anyway…we made it out of Chicago in one piece.

And I got to shop at Archiver’s.

And I took a really blurry photo of Daddy and Bryan.

It was a good trip.

Happy Thursday!

Happy 14th Birthday Bryan!

Bryan wanted a Futon for his Birthday.  And he got one.  Here he is “owning” at Pole Position.  I love how the boys play games that are older than they are on a regular basis. 

Here he is “Tebow-ing.”

And check this out… A REAL smile!  Not the ones that I usually get.  A REAL smile!  He IS a real boy!!

We love you, Bryan!  Glad you had a happy birthday!

Inspiration-March 2012

This month, I didn’t even need to go to the dollar store to find inspiration.  I had this birthday card that I got from my grandma in art journal file.  (It’s a Hallmark card).

I grabbed some watercolors. 

And some dollar letter stamps. 

And a pen. 

I love how the doodling that makes up the flowers consists of placing your pen on the page and not lifting it until the flower shape is complete.

I am happy with the results. 

And I LOVE how it turned out.  Happy Tuesday!

Grandma’s First Wrestling Meet

 

Sad Audi

Sad Daddy

Happy Bryan.  With a win just for Grandma.  And not just any win.  He went the whole 4 minutes!  Didn’t catch the score at the end, but with 30 seconds left in the 3rd period the score was 7-0.  Nice job, Bryan.

Most of us together .  William didn’t go, but we did see him for about 5 minutes before we left for the meet.

Mom and Dad

Photo Shoot – thanks for the photos, honey.

Happy Friday!!

William 2012

So adorable.

He wanted a bow-tie and he even learned how to tie it all by himself.

And right now he’s dancing in the living room saying that he is just like Dean Martin. 

What a smoothie…

I didn’t have much time for a post, but I have loved seeing my sister’s blog and loved getting her comments about our trip back home. 

Happy Wednesday!

Mmm…Lasagna.  So tasty.

Pudge wants some too! 

We had a fabulous weekend at home.  I wish we could have stayed longer and I wish I would have felt better on Sunday.  But I did take a nap and I hope I feel better on Monday morning. 

Happy Monday!
