A New Project to Keep Us More Busy!!!

We have company coming this week, and I wanted to decorate the other spare bedroom upstairs. I didn't know what I wanted to do, until I saw a binder that my student teacher had with her. So, I took a picture of it... I decided that I wanted the room to look like this. So, I had to draw the flower free hand, then it was off to Home Depot for the colors. Here is a picture of the room before Mark and I began the project. After a few hours of drawing flowers and painting, we finally finished!!! Yes, we know it looks like a little girls room, but I think it is really cute.

Here is one of the flowers that is painted on the wall!

We have one bedroom left to decorate. So, I think Mark wants to decide what goes on the walls this time!

Our Family

It seems as though everyone puts pictures of their family on their blog, so we decided to post pictures of ours!

Mark and Kristi getting ready to leave for church!

Here is Milo soaking up the sun on the window ledge.

This is Layla. She thinks sitting under the chair will protect her.

Milo and Layla on the window ledge... They love each other a lot!

Maybe one day we will be able to put different pictures of our family up, but for now... here are our beautiful kids!

Visit to McKinney, TX

Kristi

We are in Mckinney, TX which is about a half hour north of Dallas. We are up visiting the Gourley's on Saturday in their HUGE community pool!

Cardinal Stadium

AZ Cardinals!

I didn't know that so many people were into new architecture in the valley, because we all know they aren't there to watch football. Did Pamela Anderson really become a Cardinals cheerleader? It all is starting to makes sense now.... [-Mark]

Welcome Back to School

Getting ready for all the new 7th graders at Coppell Middle School North!

Sand Volleyball Champs!

Sand Volleyball League Champions! This picture was taken with a cell phone camera so it wasn't the greatest.

Beautiful Form!

Camping in San Clemente

Here we are on our very first camping vacation together.

Laying in the pop-up camper trailer.

San Clemente State Park Camp Grounds- with showers, bathroom facilities, and a 7-11 right around the corner -- this is Kristi's idea of roughing it!

Our last night there.

Aaron and Aubrey, our cousins who we met up with in Carlsbad.

Mark after another long day of surfing! At least that is what we tell people....
