My great-grandmother's antique piano made the trek down from Utah this past weekend to find it's new home with the Hinckley's. Isn't it beauty? 80 years old and 800 lbs! (Thanks Rachel and Randy for taking such good care of it...after seeing you drive over those Arizona bumps I'm suprised it made it down in one piece...ha! ha!)30 minutes a day/7 days a week seemed like torture. Notice the scratches...I did that...PURPOSEFULLY! Not proud. Engraving evidence that I was forced to sit there for 10
One lump or two?
This weekend I attended the most lovely and sophisticated baby shower I've ever been to.A real live afternoon tea party (no I didn't have any...I knew you were wondering). There were no GUESS-THE-MELTED-CANDY BAR-IN-THE-DIAPER type games at this soiree.Ladies came dressed in their lovliest attire. Pinky fingers pointed north as the Ladies sipped from their tea cups and conversed. There were three tiered stands of cucumber finger sandwiches, mini lemmon cakes, and crumpets as far as the eye could
Nautical or Aeronautics?
I was going for Nautical. Like those big numbers on sails? Jake thinks it looks like an airplane hanger. Regardless, IT'S STAYING! Too much sweat and tears to care at this point. Since the boys will be sharing a room the "4" represents 2004 when "M" was born and the "7" represents 2007 when "N" was born.
SEND REINFORCEMENTS!
I'm in the midst of making over my boys bedroom. Not going so well. I wanted to have everything done by the time our next house guests came this Thursday. Not gonna happen.

I once saw Jeff Lewis (Bravo's Flipping Out show) paint a dozen 24 inX24 in samples of different paint colors on the wall and I thought, "all that paint just to test it out?...That's expensive!" I get it now. I'm on my third paint color. Let's see...at three paint colors,
Canvas wall art.
6 months ago these photos were taken by Michelle Rasmussen. She has been trying to talk me in to having canvases made ever since. I finally took her advice and did it. (You were right Michelle...they are fabulous...thanks so much!) I just love them (but I am a little biased)! These pictures don't do them justice.
Before.
After.
Sick.
This picture has nothing to do with this post but isn't it blog protocol to post a pic with every post?This week I got the flu. I mean I REALLY GOT THE FLU! The week previous my two sons had it and were now on the mend while I was on the start. I did nothing but lay. If matters couldn't get any worse...Jake went away on a business trip for the same two days I was completely out of commission.From my place on the sofa I watched my boys go completely comatose as the TV was on from sun up till sun
