UL Spring Sign

    Our entry table was looking a little lack luster, so since we had most of the material on hand, I decided to make a new sign for the it.  We had a whole box of document frames laying around from Jeremy's work, so I painted one Gloss White from Krylon, then did a little distressing.  I had a spring sign from Uppercase Living that I got for free, and I made a few rosettes to go on it.  I think it turned out pretty well.  It is amazing what you can do with a little fabric, spray paint, and of course, a glue gun!  ENJOY!

My first attempt at a rosette, not too bad.

The finished product!

I love how it turned out, and it really brightened up the table!

Shane"s First T-ball game

    Today was also Shane's first game, so we rushed from the track to the field just in time for Shane's game.  He looked sooo cute.  His first time up at bat he did start to run to third instead of first (just like Kinley did, lol!) but he did great.  We were worried he would just stand there, like he did at soccer, but it was the opposite.  They put him on the pitcher mound and he pretty much got every ball that was hit in the first inning.  He played first base next, and he was so funny!  He would hold out his glove so they couldn't get on the base.  That is our Shane!!  He can always make us laugh :-)

Really......nothing cuter!!!!

McKinley's first Track Meet

After many, many atempts at finding McKinley's sport I am so happy to say that track is his "thing."  After only two practices, he had his first track meet today.  He did amazing!  He won his first individual event, and his relay team won as well.  He also did really good on the 800 as also (which is two laps!) he only stopped for a few seconds and after I encouraged yelled at him to run again he did.  He came in 5th, I think on that one.  He also did the softball toss too.  There were two other events but I am not sure what they are.  I had to leave early to rush Shane off base to his T-ball game.  I am so glad he has found a sport he loves and is good at.  It was just what he needed!!

Getting ready to start his first event.

Look how far ahead he is!!

He did so good on the relay as well.
