He's 5 and I can't believe it!

Here's another picture from Father's Day that I just had to post. 

He had so much fun helping Daddy with his car he had to check out his 4 wheeler!

Well yesterday was day 2 of Birthday fun for Derek!  On Saturday we had the family picnic at Seneca State Park where they have a spray park (the pictures are on my sweet hubby's phone) he loves the spray park, ok so what kid doesn't.  Our picnic was rushed (and I do mean rushed) because we were watching a thunderstorm come across the lake as we were eating.  So before cupcakes we were in a torrential downpour! (I did save the cupcakes and managed to stay drier than most because I threw the table cloth over me to "protect the food"..smart huh?)  The storm did pass and we were able to tail gate the rest of the party.

Yesterday was pretty tame as his party with friends is on this coming Sunday.  Shelby gave him her gift (more Monster Jam Stuff) and a few family friends came to visit.  Then it was time to play in the garden and water and that's where the rest of the fun happened.  Shelby, Derek and I had a watering hose fight.  (I think Shelby won because I wasn't able to take a picture of my newest pairing as my shirt was SOAKED!)

All and all it was a great day and another one I will keep in the memory closet!

Here is a picture of my first (ok second I love radishes) radish harvest of the season.

Scared Everyone Away?

Maybe I did give too much info on my last post so I may have scared some off. (if I did you won't know I'm sorry because you're not reading this anymore :) ) If you are still here I thank you very much (and promise not to reveal too much again!)

Anyway I have been working a couple of new pieces (one of which Shelby calls a twisted pink nightmare) but have run out of supplies and need to make a bead run! I actually will be taking my first official bead lesson on Saturday and a local bead shop and will let you know how it goes. I am very excited to see if I actually know what I am doing (or just lucky that I end up with bracelets) and when I am there I am going to also put Beadwork's magazines claim that I can get the supplies for Nancy Cain's "coco chenille" bracelet to the test.

Here is a pic of a pairing I did from April/May issue of Beadwork Magazine in black and black diamond (although the pic looks like its brown and I am still not sure why)

I do like this one and tend to wear it when we go out to dinner. (seems classy to me)

I also thought I would post pictures of some of the flowers in my garden and a pic of the patio. We planted all the annuals last weekend and they seem to be doing fine. It is very hot here today so I made sure to water this morning.

I would love a bracelet in these colors they are so out of my normal but I like how it is blended in the iris! (Hint Hint color combo suggestions greatly accepted ;) )
