Hanson Crew

We tried out camping (the first time with all 6 of us) in the backyard last night. We have decided to try this activity more this summer and thought it might be smart to began in our backyard. We are excited for the real thing by the lake soon. I have to say though, we struggled some. Once the tent was up, the smores were eaten, and we were all laying in the dark in the tent, it only took about 30 minutes for 4 of the 6 to say, "Can we go inside now?" It was pretty funny. But we didn't cave in and all made it through the night even with a little rain. This morning though is the real test for the other 2 who didn't want to come in last night....those 2 feel like they are 10 years older, can't walk straight, and have said multiple time so far "I feel like I got ran over by a truck!" Maybe the air mattress will make its way to the lake next time!

Our Lowe's project this morning was a Race Car....the boys especially liked this one! We will have to miss next week's while we are in Colorado...the good news is that the project is a dog treat bag, which would only cause more complaining about getting a dog. I'm glad to miss that one! I am sewing on the patches tonight on their aprons from our past projects. We'll post pics of that soon.

I finally got my family room wall done this week. I hung some new ledge shelves I got for my birthday and a couple new photos my friend Lisa gave me. I also moved my big H from the other wall and put it on my new shelves...I really like how it turned out. My next project is to paint my headboard and foot board in my bedroom chocolate brown.

We have enjoyed catching up with our family who spent the past year in the Philippines ...they will return in August. We leave in 6 days for Colorado to be part of the ceremony. We are really looking forward to the vacation!

It's been an honor being her maid of honor and last night I threw her a lingerie shower. We had a great turn out, 14 guests, which made for an great collection of lingerie for her. 2 more weeks until the wedding!

Jonathan has fallen in love with his Uncle Chris very quickly while he has been back in the states. He runs up to him, smiles at him, wants to play hide and seek with him all the time, and even told him he loved him. Chris went to CO today to be with his family before the wedding. I think Jonathan will run up to him when we see him in Estes Park in June. I think he will be lost in August when they go back to the Philippines. But for now, here they are together...it is very sweet.
