My table

So we have been wanting to make a dining room table for a long time now and this particular one because you can make benches to go with it.  Well, we did it! Brad was kind enough to let me do most of the work (break the drill bits by the handful, etc).  I dare say that if he would have done more of the work, it would have turned out better still.  But now I have a little confidence and have caught the fever!  I hope to do a few more projects yet!


There aren't many pictures but here's what we have!

Birthday Land Around Here

We are pretty lucky (or cursed, depending on how you look at it) when it comes to birthdays because they are all within about 2 months of each other.  I guess for me it's nice, to get into birthday mode hard core for a little bit and totally relax when it's all over for a good chunk of time.  Birthday begins with breakfast in bed after which we generally open presents.  For lunch, Mom takes the birthday kid out where ever they want to eat.  Then we have whatever dinner they choose and the cake of their choice.

First was Olivia's birthday...

Then was Cassidy's birthday...

Then was Brylie's birthday...

Brylie had a birthday party this year with several friends.  She loved it!  And it was pretty fun for me to do too!  

Then was Brody's birthday...

And finally, Brad's birthday...we didn't take many pictures because we are lame like that.  Poor Brad but I think he had a good day!
