Christmas Lights

I am a firm believer in not turning on Christmas lights until after Thanksgiving. I am also a firm believer in not listening to Christmas music until after Thanksgiving. However there is always an exceptions... say when you are putting up your Christmas lights and you have to make sure they look good. Right? But I didn't listen to Christmas music while I was doing it. Here are a handful of Christmas light pictures on our patio for this year. Let me know what you think in the comment section! Thanks

I love these large snowflakes I got on clearance from Menards.. actually I got all my lights on clearance from one place or another... got to love cheap lights!


This is the final product. What do you think? Let me know. They have a patio lights judging contest each year and i want to win!
There are lights on the ceiling that twinkle and give the illusion of snow falling.. pretty cool.

The Month of October


Hey everyone, October is almost over so I thought I would post some stuff since is has been a while.
Feel free to leave comments!

This month so far:


We visited out at the Blaauw Family farm and took some pictures. Me with the cows and David with the soy beans. We spent they day out there with Grandpa Blaauw, which was nice, and he especially enjoyed it because he was able to drive his golf cart and he was able to walk down the hallway at his house after his nap. For those of you how dont know, Grandpa was paralyzed on his left side after having a biopsy done in his brain. After lots of PT he is now walking!

This is my cousin Justines baby boy. Tyler Robert Martin. He is a little cutie pie!


This is Jess Crisp our music pastors wife and Katie at the church baby shower for Katie. Aren't they cute? Jess did a great job throwing Katie a shower.



This is a painting I did for Katies baby room. It matches her bedding set. I also made a couple of wall pegs to hang bags or coats on. The bedding set is called MOO MOO BABY by Lambs and Ivy. Its so cute.


the Next few pictures are from our annual girl trip. This year we went to Frankenmuth and Birch Run for some major shopping. I got almost all of mine done in one day! I think I spent around 240 dollars but I had about 420 in savings! wow thats a great deal. Any ways, it was a fun day. Grandma Smith, Aunt Pen, Justing, Brie, Tyler, Mom, Katie, Jenni, Nyla and I all went.
