A Weird but Fun Week

Princess can't play outside when it's raining.

Tuckered out after a big day at school.

These hummingbirds are fun to watch fight each other for nectar rights.

this girl LOVES to paint!

Goodbye teapot wallpaper - I will not miss you.

My handy husband building me a counter top.

New hardware on cabinets - no more white knobs with blue roses.

Some sweet friends of our got engaged last weekend!  Becca lived with us for a few months this past spring/summer, so she's practically family. :)

Josiah had to help Daddy with the sanding.

Doesn't it look fabulous?!  The rest of the counters will follow hopefully soon!

Can I just say this has been a weird week at our house?  Monday night our power went out due to a huge pine tree falling on the power lines.  Long story short it was a HUGE mess that took the power company about 20 hours to clean up.  Our alarm system also decided that it needed to go off at 3am that morning due to loss of power.  Wednesday am the alarm went off again around 5:30 (we've got that whole thing taken care of now) and we found out that Bella had walking pneumonia again.  Thursday afternoon we look out our back door to find our table shattered into millions of pieces - no explanation.  It's just been one of those weeks!

 Josiah had his first Upwards Soccer game Saturday morning.  He wasn't sure whether he was going to like it or not, but as you will see, he had a great time!

Bella on the sidelines - she says she wants to play next year.

Running hard

Love this shot - after the game he said, "Mom, I kicked the ball a lot!"

It was super hot; hoping for some more fall-like weather next Saturday.

Bella found some shade to rest in.
