A place for the artwork

Here you go Jenn. Buy four hooks to make three sections so each child has a their own space. Get a dowel small enough that a clothes pin will hook all the way around it and be able to close tight on top of the paper. Make sure you space the hooks close enough together on the wall so that the dowel has room to hang over the ends of the last hooks. Otherwise, they the dowel will get pushed off any time it is brushed against or someone tries to hang something up. Pay no attention to my patched up skewers put together with electrical tape. I didn't have time to get a dowel when I was frantically trying to put this together before someone came over.

Family Reunion

I found this great picture when I was cleaning up today. It was so fun to see Brant so little, and Brian too! With the reunion just a few weeks away, it would be fun to see what pictures you guys have, share the memories~ thanks!

Everyone needs their alone time....

Can you write the story?

This is the only family picture we have of Greg and Hayley and the kids, since Emiline was hating pictures when we did the all family picture. I wanted to post it, because don't they look so darn cute!

Question for those who will be in IF for the 4th

Hey Ya'll!!! I'm super crazy excited for the 4th this year!!! I was curious as to who all is going to be up for the 4th. Also... k this may be me really pushing everyones comfort limits... but I thought it would be awesome fun if we did a combined family thing! I know i'm really pushing this, but I just wanted to see how you all feel about it.

My family loves doing activities, such as goofy golf. Has anyone played this? if Not, I think you'd enjoy it. I may be really pushing it to even ask, but I thought it would be fun. My family usually has everyone bring some kind of food so its like a pot luck thing, and usually have leftover food for a while. I thought that if we combined the family for a day's activity would be fun, and in a way, cheaper for everyone. I dont want to make anyone upset, so if you dont feel like this would be all that fun, please let me know. I just wanted opinions. I think the Bean family would be an awesome splash of fun for my family!

(Jeff will hate me if he knew I have this picture of him posted... but I love it)

My sister, Marisa, she was telling me how she recalls you guys having the slip and slide, and volley ball and how fun she thought that would be to do! haha, anyways.... ya just lemme know!

Cailey

Finished . . . Almost.

This Girl sound bite

It is not perfect, but I have nearly completed my song for Hayley. I wrote it a few years ago and am just putting it to music. There are a few moments in the middle that sound awkward, but overall I am very proud of it and want to share. Enjoy!
