I have been really busy lately so I am behind on the updates.

While I was in Ohio, Mimi took the kids to pick strawberries.  Here are all the pics that she took!

Christian and Hayli went for a walk, in the woods behind our house, with Mimi and Granddad.  They were going to see how the rain had changed the depth of the creek.  Here are the pics:

I love my parents house and property.  Seriously.

We (and by we, I mean everyone but me) went fishing last weekend.  Here are some pics:

Mimi was super happy with her vase.  It is happily sitting on the mantle in the living room.  Jill is happy with her plate.  Mimi and I delivered Aunt Susu’s bowl when we went to Texas.  Aunt Susu was not expecting the bowl and she was very proud.

Here is the pic of Uncle Lanny and Aunt Susu with the bowl:

Also….here is a picture of Mimi and Aunt Susu!  Notice the fabulous pirate hair piece that Susu is wearing!

I love The Pottery Room.  It is located on Madison Street, near The Chopping Block.  It is ran by this AWESOME German lady (or English or something, I don’t know….she has a wonderful accent).  Basically, you go in and pick out a piece and then you paint it.  You leave it with the nice lady for a week and she fires it in a big….thing….and it comes out all beautiful and shiny and perfect.  She is so creative….anyone who knows me knows that I am not.  So if you go in and you are NOT creative….she gives you wonderful ideas.  The place is wonderful for adults and children.

My mom found this place because she took Hayli to a birthday party there.  The following weekend, mom and I took the kiddos back there and let them each pick out a figure to paint.  The kids had a blast.

SO…me being the non creative person that I am…I feel the need to try to instill some creativity into my babies.  I got the fabulous idea to bring Cross the next time and have them paint a plate for Jill.  My mom’s birthday was coming up so I wanted Hayli and Christian to paint something for her.  A week or so ago, I rounded up Hayli and Christian and we went to pick up Cross for our adventure.

We had a blast!  Here are the final pictures of their projects!

Everyone should take their kids to The Pottery Room.  It is a wonderful place!!
