loads of family time and tons of friends to play with,
lounging in the lake surrounded by ducks (that would be Mary with her spare)
and hanging lakeside with the kids.
Cuddling up after a float,
digging moots ,
and building huge sandcastles with common rooms and master beds.
The morning found us playing a mean game of scrabble with Bellini's and cake balls
and by night we were on to something a little saucier!
Round-robin story-telling, rock-climbing, birthday's celebrated and too much fun had by all! This trip never disappoints!
America's favorite past-time right here in good 'ol Fresno comes in the form of the Fresno Grizzlies. We enjoyed ourselves on a weekday, treat-night out with our good friends, the Hansen family. Great seats, great company and a great game. Who could ask for more?!
It's been a couple of weeks of projects around here. Staying up until 2 am for a week and half straight, hosting my step-dad who graciously came to help with the bead board, trim and baseboards and re-doing my room. I am still tired but so excited phase 1 is complete. I wish I had taken before and afters of the doors in my hall way to the bedrooms and the bathroom doors. The top photos show my doors and Grace's door. They were all oak with oak trim and I painted the trim white and we got all new doors. I also painted the hallway a light grey with new white baseboard. It looks so much prettier and open. Just my speed. Up next...the hall bath! I'm going to attempt this in the next couple of weeks but will take better before pics.
Here is our bed. It is pine and I removed the iron leaves and painted it white. So much more me! 
The pink tile is gone and so is the oak vanity and it it's place is dark wood vanity with granite top. Yeah!
Be back soon for the end of phase 1...
