My first furniture project

A few weeks ago, I went down to Corinth to stay with Camie for the weekend.  Each year in April, we go to the neighborhood garage sales in a neighborhood not too far from her house.  There's a ton of houses that participate and we always find good stuff!  Plus, it's alot of fun to garage sale with the girls (minus kids... haha)!

Here is my favorite find from this year.  Camie is always redoing furniture and I told her that I want to give it a try, but I'm scared I'll jack it up.  She said, "you need to find a cheap piece to experiment with!" 

So, find I did... this little beauty... for only $10!!!



There was a Broyhill tag in the inside of the drawer, so I knew it was solid wood.  Makes it an even better deal!



The previous owner was not very nice to this sweet little table.  Check out those scratches!

And AFTER!



I love how it turned out.  I sanded every surface down and then spray painted it with 2 cans of  Valspar Satin black spray paint from Lowes.  I then added a cute little knob that I found at Hobby Lobby.  I think I might do one more coat on it b/c I can see a few areas that aren't as smooth as I would like it.  I might also go back and put a clear coat on it.  But, I wanted to show it off first!  When we moved into our new house, I knew this wall needed something and I love the way it looks now.

Next project.... my dining room table and china hutch.  They were hand me downs from David's parents and are a nice oak color.  I really want to do them black like these, but have to get the courage up first.  haha  I'll definitely post pictures of the before and after when I do it!

Ready for summer!

Waiting for the pool to fill up!

I wish my white legs looked that cute in a watermelon swimsuit!

Jr League Easter Egg Hunt

My kids had just woken up from their naps, so they were less than thrilled about taking a picture with the Easter Bunny... haha

Jackson, Hunter, Addi, Kelby, Reid and Hayden had a great time hunting eggs!

Sweet kiddos

10 months old

Parker is 10 months old and pulling up on everything!  I don't think she'll be walking by her first birthday, but she sure is trying!  She loves to look at herself in the mirror and give that baby kisses.  I wanted to post these pictures because her hair is getting so long and curly in the back.  And it's turning super red, just like her brother's.  David has an uncle on his dad's side with red hair so we're guessing that's where it comes from.  It's just so rare that they both have red hair!

Pretty Parker

We borrowed a super cute dress that our friend Kelby wore when she was Parker's age.  Parker wore this to church and she just looks so cute!  Had to share. 

She's growing up so fast.... pretty soon we'll be celebrating her turning 1!

Go Rangers!

Hayden turned 4 in January so he's old enough to play t-ball through the Wichita Falls Little League.  He LOVES t-ball!  He also loves his team.  We were lucky to get put on a team with some of our friends so it's been alot of fun.  David is also helping coach, along with our good friend Jesse Thomas.  It's quite entertaining to watch a game.  I think David and Jesse and the other dads spend about the same amount of time keeping the boys focused as they do teaching them to hit and field the ball.  It's been such a fun season and I think Hayden is going to be pretty sad when its over.  We'll just have to look forward to next year!
