I have to post about this stupid bookshelf because it gave me ALOT of grief!

I received this lovely bookshelf from my uncle (he was getting rid of it) and it was a weird brown color so I decided I could paint it and make it cute and it wouldn't take very long! Was I ever wrong! Everything that could go wrong went wrong... the paint wasn't the right color, the paint wasn't taking to the wood, the antiquing methods I was using weren't working! It took me forever!

But I have to say I am proud of how it turned out considering ALL of the stress behind it!

And I have put it to good use!

24th in Salt Lake

Days of 47 Rodeo!!!

I love Rodeos!

We ate at Moochies because we saw it on Diners Drive-Ins and Dives! Delicious!

Raging Waters
This is Justin & Brandon!

We had a lot of fun in SLC. It was definitely a needed break!

North Carolina

Well we just got back from our trip back to North Carolina where Brandon served his mission.

It was a lot of fun. We got rained out most of the time and weren't able to go out the Cape to see the lighthouse but that just means that we have to go back out there again soon!

This is me, Bobbi Lynn & Brandon.

Bobby, Brandon & Judy (we stayed with them while we were there)

Brandon at Shell Point. This is the closest we got to the Cape and the lighthouse.

Me and Blackbeard

Brandon's new ride!

This is the lighthouse on the Outerbanks that we tried to get to and couldn't because of the rain. But we will get there someday soon!

So I have to spread the love because my little brother's football team won the championship last night against Hurricane who hasn't been beat for like 3 years!!! It was pretty awesome!

My mom & Ty hugging after the game... I'm sure my mom was crying!
This is me and Ty! He was so excited after the game that when I went to hug him he picked me up and jumped around like a little boy! Kinda sad he can pick me up now but he's only going to get bigger!
Isn't he the cutest kid you've ever seen! Proud sister here what can I say!

Okay now these pictures are old but I finally got them off my camera...
