Room makeover ~ cowgirl style!

I recently did a room makeover for a very good friend's daughter.  She had painted her room and bought new bedding, but just wanted some finishing touches added!  This little girl LOVES horses and she LOVES being a cowgirl!  I was so excited to makeover her room "cowgirl style", but her mom told me "not too rustic":/

Here are a few before pictures.

(Yes, I should have taken them before the room was painted, but if you know

my friend you know she paints at the drop of a hat!)

I know you are thinking it looks pretty good the way it is, but I just

added a few pieces to finalize it and clean it up.

After I added the accessories!

She was SO HAPPY with her new room!

Thank you girls for the fun project!!



Weekend Getaway!

A couple weekends ago we traveled to McCall, Idaho.  A friend of mine gave me a list of all the places to shop, eat, and play!  Unfortunately there were not enough meals in the day to eat at all the restaurants, although we tried!  The weather was absolutely beautiful and the kids enjoyed playing on the beach.  I think it was only my kids' second time of playing in the sand:/

We attended the wedding of one of the sweetest girls I know!  Her name is Sam and she is a very good friend of my sisters.

The beautiful flower girl!

It was a beautiful day and an awesome location.

When we got to the reception I was immediately jealous of some of the ideas she used!  Almost made we want to get married again!  To the same guy of course!!

My favorite - the cake table!

The picture above the table are her grandparents, on their wedding day, who were killed in a car accident not that long ago.  Such a great tribute to them!

(sorry about the shadows!)













A great time was had by all!  Thank you Sam and Donny for

 letting us be a part of your beautiful day!

Eat - Sleep - Ride

Just about sums up our 4th of July weekend!!

The view we woke up to every morning.

The kids patiently (I use that term loosely!) waiting for us to come help them saddle their horses!

Ready to ride!

                                                              

Time to cool off in the creek!

Our big trail ride with 11.5 horseback and 2 on four-wheelers!  We had a fun time and the kids did great! (Most of the pictures were taken on horseback, so excuse the imperfections!)

Love this picture!  Riding with grandpa.

                       

Can't get through a whole weekend without getting a little work done!

Grandma cooking on the campfire while the kids stack the wood!

Time for the sparklers! 

(This is the best my camera would do!)

Cousins!

The end to an awesome weekend!

Making the news!

Last week a clip from The Farm Chicks Show was featured on King 5 news in Seattle.  We were actually on there too!  It's a very small clip, but we made it!  Click on the link below.

The Farm Chicks Show - King 5 news

Have a safe and happy 4th of July!!
