Home Projects

CRAZY!  Two posts in as many days. We have workers in the house renovating the kids' bathroom, so I've got to occupy my time on outdoor things. So here is my newest love.

I bought this little metal bicycle planter years ago.  I loved the rustic (rusty) look, but it was kinda invisible in my yard.  So, I got inspired by this fabulous color and decided to add some color to the yard.

After a quick spray paint

Totally in love with the bright color against a newly painted white fence.  

 We bought this house for the yard, and I'm finally taking time to make it the way we want it. 

Final Band Performance

Last night was Jon's final Elementary Band Performance.  It's hard that all of his experiences are "final" ones for the entire family.  Elementary seems like it takes FOREVER to get through, but middle and high school are flying so fast. 

Jon and his best friend, Hunter.

Aubrey, Jon & Brandon with their 5th grade music teacher, Mr. Erb.  Jon has to wear his music tie to every music performance.

With Jon going to a different elementary school than the other two attended, it is nice when the two worlds connect.  Jon's band teacher is the same that taught Brandon and Aubrey in their 5th grade.  Mr. Erb is funny, and kooky, and loves the music.  He has been encouraging Jonathan BIG time on the trombone.  And Jon truly loves this instrument.  He will be continuing in middle school.
