VB in Houston

Chris is coaching a boy's volleyball team and they are at the Jr Olympic Volleyball in Houston. Today the matches are streaming live, and we are like nerds watching the screen. So cool to see our boy in action.

He is in the green shirt at the right of the screen.

June cards

June cards from die club, stamp club, and a Bee class. Great month of cards.

Finally done!

Just finished the corners on my wool applique quilt. It was a block of the month through a quilt shop. So excited to take to my mother in law to hopefully have her quilt for me. My quilt expert mom put the block together and the border on. She did a beautiful job. This was a long project, but I am so glad I kept up with it.

25 years ago....

Hard to believe it's been 25 years since Chris was born. The time has really gone by fast. His first birthday and I don't think he liked the cupcake that much.

This was 1996....you were seven and the theme was the Cardinals. Can't believe how little Adam is....sure do miss the McArthur's birthday cakes. Chris has grown into such an amazing man; we couldn't be prouder. He is the best of both Paul and I and certainly is living life to the fullest. Happy Birthday to my baby.

Houston wedding

Nothing like a quick drive to Houston. but when your friend is getting married, you just go. The wedding was at her home. She is so happy and it was a beautiful ceremony. Here they are going off in their wedding present. Had such a great time down there with her and her family. And we were able to bring back tamales too! It was worth the drive.

Card making

Had die club this week at The Stamp Pad and she got in some new dies. After I did some things on my list, I played with them and love these cards.

And #2---graduations out

Brandon graduated from Mizzou on Sunday of "Graduation Weekend 2014." It was a really nice ceremony with good speeches and we couldn't be prouder. When we first got to him after the ceremony, he gave me a "side hug" Duggar style.....Aunt Barb doesn't go for that. I got my full on hug. Even Adam thought it was funny.
