Tanner's gettin' married!
I am SO happy for him, and Lauren is just the cutest thing ever!
[Plus, we can be married friends now! yay!]
Today I took their engagement pictures and had a blast catching up!
We took SO many and they are all SO beautiful!

They are so in love! It's fantastic!

Today was my "reclaim the house" day.
I even made it to my patio - which had been previously covered in alabaster dust and big hunks of chips that didn't make it to the final product of my sculpture.
Walmart also had some of their perennials half priced, so I bought some for planters
They were supposed to be sprouting tulips, I even planted them last winter so I'd be able to wake up to a rainbow outside my window, but the stupid neighborhood cat likes to sleep in them and she dug up my bulbs! stupid cat.
I figured the appropriate morning time has passed and new flowers were in order. :)

Danny and I took Kenny, Robert and Tommy fishing at kidney ponds.
Kenny's was the only catch of the day!
When he cast out he snagged on something.
Thinking it was the reeds, I helped him get his hook untangled.
But as I reeled in, I noticed we were dragging something with the line!
Kenny used a Barbie fishing pole to catch another Barbie fishing pole!
That kid was so happy!
He talked the rest of the time how he was going to paint it boy colors!

Having a Walmart practically in our backyard makes late night ice cream runs that much more convenient.

FISHING!
I caught the first two fish of the day!
[the first one was with Danny's pole while he was baiting my hook! - I snagged the fish by the gill and reeled it in. Danny is still debating on if it was really my fish or not. Regardless, when I pulled the little dude in he bounced off the hook and back into the water]

Madison has this uncanny ability to retain as much static electricity as her little 6 year old body can handle.
She has discovered her potential and will shock you if you displease her.
we're all in trouble.

My little flower pot came out of the kiln today!
It's the first piece I made using my stamps that I carved out that came out well!
It was just a tester - to see what color the celladon was, but I liked it so much I went out and bought a daisy, planted it, and now it's sitting on my patio table :)

I have found Narnia.
I had another adventure day with Robby and his friend - we went up to Brighton.
The entire lake was frozen over and we had to guess where the boardwalk was beneath 4 feet of snow.

whenever I would step, I'd fall thigh high into a snowbank!
But it was worth it!

I love all the trees up there!
