Visiting The Domschke's!

Yesterday we drove down to Tucson to play with the Domschke's.

The girls had a ton of fun, as usual,

and Sarah got some pumpkins to paint!

Snow White and Tink!

Getting ready to paint in the aprons that Gigi made.

Sarah drew T-Rex for the girls.

Watch out!

Dry Wall Mud With Gigi

The girls really like to help Gig with the dry-wall mud.

They're gonna get this texture thing down real quick!

McDonalds Ranch ~ Pumpkin Patch

We took the girls to a pumpkin patch the other day.

It was so hot outside, but we had a lot of fun!!

There was a maze, a petting zoo and a hay ride.

Clare and Maddy cowgirls!

Petting the pig.

The only animal that Clare would touch.

Mad pet them all!

She loved the goats!

My favorite trio.

Look at the fun she had in the hay maze!

Me and my babe.

Family.

Pumpkin time!

Picking just the right one.

The best posed picture we were able to get.

Ha! They were hot, tired and hungry.

Tree's And A Recliner.

Maddy was a big help to Grandpa digging

a hole for one of the new tree's that need to be planted.

Maisy is there, too!

My Dad won a "Man Cave" at work that included

this recliner, among other things.

He didn't want it, so he gave it to us.

Its quite a hit with Greg and the girls!!

Clare's Window Treatment.

Gwen made a gorgeous window treatment for

Maddy's room last year to match her quilt and I loved it,

so I copied it for Clare's room!!

Visit From The Domschke's!

Today we had a fun afternoon with Chris, Sarah, Autumn and Dean!!

Maddy was so excited to see Auutmn, she kept going on

about how much she loves Autumn and

how they are best friends and she even told

me there were 5 people in her family:

Maddy, Chris, Sarah, Autumn and Dean.

I guess Greg, Clare and I don't count. : (

We had fun and can't wait to head down in a

few weeks to play in Tucson with them!

Clare holding Dean.

Helping Sarah feed him.

Very proud of herself for helping,

although Dean was still hungry since she kept

taking the bottle out of his mouth.

Squeezing his cheeks!

Good thing she loves him, they're getting married one day...

Mad and Autumn, candy corn faces.

Upside down girls!!

Clare

Sassy got some new boots!!

She had been wearing Mad's all around and tripping

because they were too big.

She likes that hers have a kitty on them.

Clare getting piggyback ride from Auntie, she loves them!

Island Counter

It was time to do the island countertop last Saturday.

We had a lot of help since it is such a large counter.

Greg, Big Greg, my Dad, Uncle Michael and my cousin, Matthew.

Thanks for coming out!

Getting ready to start mixing.

First batch is done.

Forms are on the island.

Getting the backer board wet.

Pouring and smoothing.

Glass sprinkles.

Grinding.

I HATE this part.

The dust is awful....

The counter above the sink also got poured.

Getting smoothed out.
