Independence Day! 

In hopes of starting a new tradition, we hosted the Fourth of July at our house this year. What a blast! Not nearly as big of a shin dig as mom and dads hog roast but it’s a start. Just realizing I didn’t get any pictures of our fireworks. Hahaha. Guess they were that good! What are your families traditions for Independence Day? I’d love to hear about them. 

My Birthday! 

Anyone who knows me knows I love birthdays! My mom n kids took me out to the lovely town of Tipp City for some downtown shopping and lunch for my last birthday!! We had such a nice time!!  

    
 Then for the evening my husband n kids took me to down to the Joes Crab Shack on the river in Covington KY!!   

 It just so happened there was a lady doing face painting there that night!! Lucky I know!!!   

    
  
 Thanks everyone for a great adventurous birthday!!

 

 

The Great Darke County Fair

To say we love fair time would be an understatement! The Great Darke County Fair is the best one I have ever been too and it’s just a 15 minute drive from home!!!

Easter Fun!

I love holidays!!! I love celebrating!! Easter was a great one this year! My kids and I got together with my brothers fiancé and her kids and my mom to color eggs, to kick off the holiday festivities! I love coloring eggs! We had so much fun!!  

    

 We even found some of those super awesome wrap things, which we used when I was a kid!!!        On Easter a bunch of the family gets together and enjoys a huge meal and egg hunts. But this year I added something new, an adult egg hunt!!! I found a bunch of giant eggs and filled them with tiny bottles of liquor!! Everyone loved it!!  

    I have initiated adult hunts before but never like this one. No one knew what was in the eggs but hunted anyway. It was everything I was hoping for!! To see these adults get so excited for an egg hunt like kids do, it was perfect!!! I even welled up a little bit, it just made me so happy to see everyone having so much fun!!!  

Blair Construction 

My dad builds houses! Has for as long as I can remember. Growing up we would sometimes get to go visit him at work. It was always such a magical trip! He did a lot of work around the house too, so growing up building and creating was just what went on and of course I wanted to be involved, help as much as I could! After a long time of begging, on a cold winter night, dad said, if you can handle the cold you can come to work tomorrow!!! Yippie!!! I am so thankful for the 11 years I spent working for my dad! It was a family affair!! My dad, brother, uncle, cousins and dads friends that might as well be family were all a part of the crew. My grandpa even worked with us for a few years!! Some of the best years of my life they were! I retired a little over 3 years ago and am now a stay at home mom. It has been a difficult yet wonderful and challenging new life for me. As often as I can allow (I miss it and sometimes wana go back) we go visit my dad and the guys at work. Right now my dad has been working on this monster of a house and we paid him a visit the other day. Here’s a few pictures 😁
