Grice Journal: More Miscellaneous

I'm back again with more miscellaneous pictures from our hectic lives! :)

These guys are so much fun!

Those pictures are from over a month ago. :-/

Sam and Brie cleaned horse stalls at a horse training/boarding facility for about 6 weeks. Here, they got to meet the owners of this horse, a 2 time world champion in dressage. They were so excited to meet somebody/something that was famous! :)

One evening, Abi and I went with the boys to get the lumber for our new deck.

Then, we went to Dairy Queen afterwards... :)

And... You'll never believe it, but, the deck got finished! Dad, the boys and Ben built it for Mom for Mother's Day.

Hooray! Hoorah! No more ugly cement block pillars! The guys did an awesome job! We've been enjoying the deck so much! Since its always shady out there, we like to sit out there during the hottest time of the day.

Lil' buddy guy

There's that angel, Ryan, fixing our attic dormers!

They put all the siding pieces in the boys room.

Kelsey brought the littles over to see Ryan.

Abi made a giant Reeses Peanut Butter Cup For Uncle Mike's birthday. :)

Mothers' Day cookout

Wedding fabric... 26 yards of it!

Thankfully Brie and Grace wear the same sizes and patterns that Abi and I wear. That made cutting out easier!

Five dresses to sew and a piece each for Kels and Aunt Carol.

I had to make an exhaustive list for all the dresses. I definitely didn't want to forget anything!

Sam loves dry ice. :)

Thrift store shopping is always an experience!

Tater tot casserole... Yummy!

Sam's new set of dentures!

A rare sight... Josh watching Sam work.

There's nothing more pleasant than hanging your laundry out on a sunny, breezy day!

Watson loves to eat things... especially squirrels and mice.

Doughy wuvs his "'ronis"!

Selfie ;)

Some people are just born clowns...

Little Virgin Marys

More selfie! ;)

Ryan had to get his house fixed up before the accessor came to value their house. Here, a group of us gathered to help them scrape and paint their garage.

This happened over a month ago.

Sweet, precious baby cakes :) I love her so much!

All finished!

I took the littles over to play on their dilapidated swing set.

Josh brought his grinder over. That sure made fast work of the scraping!

Some people worked harder than others... :)

Stop and smell the flowers!

I was cleaning a house (I won't say whose house) :) when I pulled a wad of hair off the top of the shower drain. It just kept coming... and coming... It was gross!
