Family Day

This was the coolest thing we have ever done..... Clint had his Family Day and we got to go out to the stagefield and see him fly. It was so amazing to see him pilot an aircraft and do it incredibly well.
Clark & Holly & the kids came out for it and to have a little vacation. Clint was so happy to have Clark here for family day.
We had so much fun watching from the control tower and knowing that Clint was the one we were watching. He has worked so hard to get to where he is at and to be a good pilot. I am so proud of him, and glad that we got to see him do his thing!!!!!

Busy Weekend

I had a very productive weekend. I refinished this table that was my grandma's. I never really liked it that much, but now I LOVE it. I love the dark wood top with the red base. I love seeing the transformation. I was so excited to get started on this one that I forgot to take pics before I stripped it. So all you get to see is the drawer. Just imagine this color on the entire table. It wasn't so pretty. But now I think its' gorgeous. What do you think?









I also sewed a curtain for the guest room, primed a new bedroom set and made a new Easter skirt. Told you I was busy. I will post pics of all the other stuff soon.

Before & After

This beauty needed a little love. And I finally got around to giving it that love.


The top needed some fixing.


But after sanding, a little paint and a new top coat she turned out pretty good. Clint says it makes him happy.

The Beach w/ Rich & Esther: Part 1

Before Rich and Esther left on Monday morning we spent the weekend at the beach. I really can't get enough of these beaches. The beautiful white sand, the warm water and the great weather. The weekend was perfect. Joseph loved playing in the sand and Ruby loved digging a huge hole with Uncle Rich.






Esther was able to get a few minutes of reading in.

This little guy is so sweet. It was fun to have a baby around.

Ruby and Clint just chillin and enjoying each others company.

For Heather

This is for my cute friend Heather who knows me all too well. I love bathing suits. I love buying new ones and finding cute ones that I just can't live without. She is a lucky girl and gets to go to Costa Rica in a couple of weeks. Jealous!!!!!! Anyway she asked if I had some ideas on where to get some suits. I have a list of ones that I am wanting to get. I know... I have a problem.
Since I am in Alabama, far from any major shopping I have to stick to internet shopping. But usually I love T.J. Maxx and Nordstrom Rack for swim suits. They are always way cheaper. All of the following are from Victoria's Secret.
Here are just a few....

I think this one just looks so fun and playful

Floral Ruffle Bandeau



This one has been in the Vicky's catalog for a long time, but I have always loved it, (And I promise it's not cause I am secretly in love with Marissa Miller) But I just think it is a good basic cut and such a cute print

Boho print Halter


This one is a pick for me because I think it looks sporty and when I am at the beach that is always something I am looking for. You definately have to have your pool suits and your beach suits.

Sara Sliding Halter



Love, Love, Love this color and I think it would look good on anyone. It is such a classic suit. I am totally in love with it.

One shoulder one piece


Let me know of any cute suits you like.

After a few rainy days and a day trip to Atlanta we finally got a sunny day while Rich and Esther are visiting.
Our trip to Atlanta was quick but worth it. I absolutely love Atlanta. I think it might mostly be because it is nice to see freeways and tall buildings. I always forget how much I really do miss a big city. As always I was able to hit H&M. That's usually the big highlight. Now that we are back we are prepping for a weekend down at the beach. Can't wait.


Today we spent some time at the helicopter museum and some time in the warm sun.

more visitors

We love our visitors. This week it's my brother Rich and his wife Esther and their adorable boys, Joseph and Gabriel. It is so much fun to have people come and see where we live and experience our life here in Alabama.
Ruby has been so anxious for them to get here and she just loves playing with Joseph and holding and feeding baby Gabriel.


It's so cute to see Ruby take care of baby Gabriel she says stuff like "hey buddy" and "you're so cute buddy." She keeps asking if we can keep him.

field trip

We we able to go on a little family field trip out to an airfield where all the attack helicopters are stationed. That means we got to see the Apache and Kiowa up close. Clint is in the YM's presidency in our ward, and the YM's president is the commander of the attack brigade. It was so incredible being next to these amazing machines. Every time I see one I am so proud of my Mr.C and can't believe that he is flying helicopters. What a man!!!!



This little guy is the helicopter that Clint would love to fly the most. It is The Kiowa. Clint loves the mission of this helicopter. They go out and look for the bad guys. It reminds him of his police days. Another perk is that the pilots carry their own M4's to shoot out the window.


Ruby and I even got to get into an Apache which is the BIG gun ship. This one is huge compared to The Kiowa. I think they are all awesome in their own way.


We had a fun evening just being together and being close to what Mr.C does everyday!!!

chamberlain

Ruby is working on remembering how to spell that long last name of ours.
