Disney Land Walmart style


Last weekend my sister and her husband took their girls to Disney Land and left the baby with me. There is no way that we were going to let them have all the fun so I decided to send them some pics of Carsen having fun. Disney Land Walmart style!

He ate Mickey's Hand....
 
 He met Woody.....
 Fell in love with (?) a princess... sorry I don't know my characters. 
 Riding Simba.... It had a tag with a name.
A picture with Miney....
 Rode the Tea Cups.  Ummm these cups looked a lot bigger in the brochure.

 
We even hit the beach.
I'm lame I know. I got a lot of weird looks but I figure there are a lot of crazy people that wonder that store what was one more? Right?  Don't matter, we had fun.

Super Cross BABY!!!!

I took my kids out to the Super Cross Saturday night. We had so much fun. It was so cold but we had a lot of fun.

I love to play in the dirt

Ever since I was little I have always enjoyed playing in the dirt. I remember making gourmet hamburgers out of mud, grass and leaves. I would put them on Grandma Heaton's old charcoal grill that was conveniently places by the old red picnic table where my costumers would be seated. I would chat with my pretend costumers as I would cook their food. I didn't want to be rude.
 I also made trenches and tunnels for the cars and there always seamed to be some kind of flood and I would fill them up with water.  Grandpa Blair (Don) always had trenches in his garden. He would place the hose in one spot and the water would follow along and water every single plant. It was so cool to me to watch the water go from plant to plant. Every year when I plant my garden I usually try to do something similar but I can never get it to water every plant.
It has been so warm and it has made me anxious to get out and play in the dirt gown-up style.  I have already planted my garden for the year so I'm now praying for no frost. 
I still have some trenches to play in but to any untrained eye I'm just watering my garden.

It's a new day

A chocolate protein shake and some orange sugar free jello to cover the taste. That's how I start my day! This is after waking up two teens from their manly sleep and making them read scriptures. Then having one miss the bus on purpose so then I got to drive along curb side as he walked to school. This day has got to be better than nasty flavors and being curd side, right? I don't know. I guess I have taking Grandma's dog to the vet to look forward to today. Your gunna clean what? Eewwww GROSS!

Jill (Jack) of all trades!

Well I have been wanting to do a tile back splash in my kitchen for a while now. I finally did it today and now I can add Masonry to my Jill of all trades list. I have a couple raw pointer fingers but I had a lot of fun doing it.

This is how my kitchen looked before I started changing it about a year ago.


Mixing the mortar and yes that IS a beater. I burnt the motor on my kitchen hand mixer a couple years ago mixing the mud for a room I was taping so all I have are the beaters.



This is how it looks today with the new tile.
Here is my tile work. Don't mind the unfinished cabinets. I have decided to paint them black now.
One of these days I will learn how to do the dishes. That is on my to do sometime list.
