Photo 2 Class Pictures

                      "Each photo is supposed to describe a word perfectly.  I give you a word, you take a picture to describe that word." At least something to that effect, is what my teacher said. So let me know how I did. Do you think I described them perfectly? 

"Boring"

"Exquisite"

"Mellifluous"

"Impossible" 

(No Photo Shop allowed on this one)

Awesome Projects

I don't know if you know this or not but my brother is a genius. When he is in the mood to create things he can do anything! Can he make a dragon head  you ask? Why yes, yes he can!

 Marbles for eyes, candy canes sucked to perfection for teeth, pine cones for scales with guts of cardboard and duct tape. = PERFECTION (well and a taxidermied  dragon head)

(Oh no i am spilling out all his secrets)

 Here is a larger than life werewolf costume also made by my brother.

 A working GIANT mouse trap.

 A human skeleton carved from wood. 

 Here is a plate I made in high school.

 Too bad it doesn't even compare in coolness.

 Here is a ceramic cake I also made in high school.

Doesn't it look  delicious!

 Here's a funny story.  The first time my husband ever went to my parents house this was on display on our coffee table. As the conversations went on he kept wondering why no one was offering him a piece if cake! Too funny!

Fishin' with Garred

Here are a few pics of our good friend
Garred, and our day out with the fishies! 

Honey Time!

As you may know my husband is a beekeeper.

 It was harvesting time so we decided to take a few snapshots of the process of selling honey. 

We were so delighted with how they turned out. 

As you can see the neighborhood children 

couldn't wait to flag down cars and tell the people to buy honey. 

They were so cute!

Christmas Special

Our great family friends the Mendenhalls. 

Here is their adorable family.
