Creative Juices

So sometimes my creative juices just start to flow. Sometimes when I start something I am dissapointed in the end because it looked better in my mind than it does in real life. This project is growing on me. I have been painting some canvases because I am cheap and art is expensive. So I was planning on just painting this a solid color so I could paint a design on top of it but then I just got a little carried away. here is the final product. Its not a masterpiece but it looks pretty cool in our upstairs hallway. Total investment - 12 dollars! If I decide I dont like it I can just repaint over it.

Dad update

Many of you know my dad was in the hospital for an emergency appendectomy on thursday. He had to stay in the hospital longer than we had hoped but he got released today and is starting to feel a bit better. He still has some pain but hopefully that will be better soon. Thanks for the thoughts and prayers. My entire family appreciates it.

Congrats are in order...

Thats right, Lindsay and Mike (lindsay is my hair stylist and friend) are getting married. They got engaged a couple weeks ago and the ring is beautiful. I cant wait to see it in person.

Congrats to them on their engagement and their new house!!!

Meet Miles Daniel New

Yep, I am a little late in posting this but better late than never. My friend Barbie and her husband Harley welcomed their precious litte (actually big) boy into this world on April 9th. He is so adorable. He has so much hair...complete with hightlights and sideburns. He was 8lbs 15 oz and 22 inches long. Mom and dad couldnt be happier. I have seen him twice and I cant wait to see him again.... LOVE HIM!!!

He is yawning not screaming :)

Here is Miles visiting at work - 12 days old



Did I mention her nursery is awesome. Miss Barbie painted it herself....she did such a good job.

My Aching Back...

Yep. I can barely move today. Brian and I spent all day Saturday landscaping in our front yard. Brian woke up to play golf early so I got up and headed to lowes to pick out some new plants. I was quite a site to see. First getting the mulch bags on my cart was hard but it was even harder to get the plants and tree and bags of mulch into my car. I drove all the way home with my hatch all the way open. I am sure I made a lot of people mad driving 30. haha….Then the manual labor began. 7 hours later we were done. We still have more to do but I will at least have to wait until I can move again. We ripped out 4 shrubs, planted 2 new boxwoods and a white dogwood tree and mulched all around. I also added little solar yard lights. Next will be some grasses and flowers. If only I had a greener thumb and huge wallet… Check out the before and after. It is hard to see the little tree!

April Dining Eleven

Unfortantely the Dining Dozen was one short this time around. We missed you Miss Sara Glenn. She was busy working hard! This month Brian and I were the hosts. Let me tell you cooking for 12 is probably difficult no matter what you cook, but we made breakfast and that was really hard. The timing and making sure everything was warm was very hard. We had lots of food...everyone loves a good breakfast for dinner every now and again. We had scrambled eggs, hashbrowns, bacon, turkey sausage, french toast, fruit, and biscuits (the gravy didnt turn out) complete with bloody marys, mimosas and baileys w/coffee.

The Hosts

We had a great time. Next month is Elizabeth and Dougs month. Cant wait to see what we have then :) p.s. since it was breakfast I told everyone to wear their pajamas. Not everyone did, but at least david showed up in his snuggy!

Happy Birthday Brian

Tuesday was Brian's 28th Birthday. We had the dining dozen that night as well. Big day for the Lassiters! I got him a new watch for his birthday. He is growing up so fast :)

Here is a picture of him with wendy girl and his birthday presents. love em

Happy Easter Everyone

Brian and I took a trip to Evanville this past weekend for Easter. We had a great time visiting and hanging out. We had an easter egg hunt for the kiddos, easter dinner at the house, church and then breakfast the next morning. so i guess we ate and ate and ate!!! Check out the bunny cake I made... my talents even suprise myself.

Kelly's Baby Shower

Sorry I have been missing….time really flies.

Five of us hosted a baby shower for Kelly. It was really fun and she had a good time so that is all that matters. We had sit down lunch for 20 people! The décor, the friends, the food, the gifts, all of it was perfect. Kelly is going to be having that baby boy before we know it. We cant wait to meet Cole!
Enjoy some picks from the day.

Happy Fake B-Day Elizabeth

So on friday night laura, chad, doug, elizabeth, brian and I headed out to eat. We went to a new place that has a hibatchi grill. The food was delicous, our check "G" was hilarious and laura and chad thought it would be a good idea to tell a fib and say it was Elizabeth's birthday. So she was the main focus of the chef's jokes, and the night was complete with drums, songs, and a bang of the gong! Doug was laughing so hard I thought he was going to fall out of his chair. We had to much fun! We will for sure go back.... whose birthday will it be?
