Family Time & Family Fun!

My grandmother and parents came to visit the last week in May - just a short visit for the day so Steven and the boys could see grandmother while she was down visiting for Chandlers graduation.

We spent Memorial Day weekend at the farm to celebrate our other nephews graduation from High School. It was nice to all be together and enjoy some really fun games and lots of yummy food - too much of it actually.

We had some fun racing games that my brother in law came up with - most of all fun - only had my foot run over once by the pug - my youngest was behind the wheel - blindfolded - so what else could be expected?!

Then Opa got out the tractor & wagon for some more fun and games that involved spoons & eggs.

The tired graduate! 

We had a wonderful time and it was great to just relax and spend time at the farm!

Have a great day!

Painted Glass
I loved painting these glasses for one of my sons teachers.  I had painted some glasses for her a couple of years ago for a teachers gift and she asked if I'd do some tropical/beach themed glasses for her and her friend. 

They get together during the summer and take a "girls trip" this year they were making the trip with one less friend unfortunately because she lost her battle with cancer.   She wanted some glasses for her and her friend so that they could remember this trip together.   I loved the little accents on the base of the glass - shells, flip flops and their names.  Then I painted each of them one with a fluffy flamingo complete with magenta glitter and all!

Perfect for summer don't you think!
Have a fabulous day!

 Graduation Trip to Memphis
My younger sister and I road tripped to Memphis a few weeks ago for our nephews graduation.  Was a quick trip in town spend a hole day and out of town the next but we wouldn't have missed it for anything.    We're so proud of Chandler! He is going to be a HUGE asset to the soccer team at Memphis University!!

Was also great seeing some familiar faces ~ all the family & friends.   Great to also see Tammy & Connor and meet Tammys beau and see Jessica (thanks for taking photos Jessica).
Plus, it was awesome to see Chad B. from high school.  Haven't seen him since maybe our 10 year high school reunion?

On our way to Memphis we passed through Birmingham and couldn't believe the devestation from the tornadoes that had ripped through there in April. We stopped on the way home and took some pictures. It was so quiet and even with a bus load of people there looking at the devestation it was quiet - really no words to say - just beyond devestating. 



Kinda reminds ya we're not promised tomorrow huh? Make the most of your today with family & friends and be thankful for what you have!!

Blessings,
Sandy
