I had the opportunity to be at the Craft and Hobby Association's opening night's Craft and Connect event in Las Vegas this week to give a demo on this product.  People were soooo excited about this product and the possibilities that it will offer their customers.  Everyone got to try the product and go home with samples of the product, along with DecoArt's Clear Chalkboard Paint, info on both products and primary colors of the Americana satin paint.   

I'm proud to be a DecoArt Helping Artist and happy to be able to help promote their newest product at the Craft and Hobby Association's summer convention.  Thanks for the opportunity.  

Now...go out and try this amazing product....I think you're gonna love it. 

Cassy turns 7

Our furry little girl, Cassy is 7 years old today.  She's such a huge part of our life that it's hard to imagine it without her.  

 She loves the get out and explore with us.  We got her a pair of Doggles last year that she doesn't mind wearing, as long as we're on the move.  

Of course, she relaxes at home. 

She loves to bark at and tries to destroy the sprinklers when they're running. 

 Loves the comforts of home like her toys....and the couches...and our bed.

Goes to barbecue contests with us, we even got her a bed of her own (which she seldom uses). 

She goes most places with us...definitely one of the family. 

Happy birthday Cassy!  We love you.

Our baby turns 26

Seriously, how did this happen?  I just don't know...hard to believe it happened right before my eyes.  I so wish I had baby pictures on my computer...but alas, only the last few years is all you get to see.  

Yeah, I know, it's not a great photo of either one of us.  Bit it's Christmas morning with no make up or hair yet. 

I'm so proud to say he's turned out to be an awesome young man!  I never had my doubts but I'm still amazed with this guy sometimes.  

He loves to camp, ride his ATV, shoot, and more.  He's also a great cook.

He'll hang out with me when no one else will.  He's cut, sanded, and painted more wood than he would care to mention.  He even painted windows with me during the holiday season.  He's an awesome welder, too.  

He's a war buff, super knowledgeable about firearms and can shoot like nobody's business.  This is a recent photo of him shooting a 535 yard shot...and he hit it several times.  

Last year, he and Bri got engaged while in Reno/Tahoe.  What a romantic guy he can be.  

Looks like a wedding this coming winter for these two.  

As a parent, you strive to raise your children to be the best people they can be.  You want them to be trustworthy, helpful, courteous, loyal, helpful, friendly, kind, obedient, thrifty, brave, clean and reverberant...oh wait, that's all the points of the Scout Law.  I'm so proud of my Eagle Scout. 

Here's wishing our baby boy...all 280 pounds. 6 foot 4 inches of him a very happy (although this post is late) birthday!  We love you pieces! 

Independence Day

Wishing all Americans a safe and happy 4th of July.
