Ruidoso

  Late summer mornings.

This summer we decided to take our summer vacation in Ruidoso, New Mexico.  Cody and I had never been, but we've had lots of friends and family suggest we take the camper there.  Lyndon brought a friend and we enjoyed a wonderful relaxing vacation & plan to return.

We bought our current camper last summer and I have painted and tried to make it reflect our style rather than the traditional 'camper look'.  I still have several other small projects I'd like to do.

Some of our summer projects included: antler creation,

royal blue paint,

Stenciling,

cushion covers,

stenciling, 

oven door reno, countertops, painting cabinet mirrors, curtains, and the little blue end table.  All inexpensive little touches.

*my left curtain needs to be redone.-oops I think I got off...

We're Going On a Bear Hunt....

We wanted to see a big one....

but we never did find one...

Sunny Yellow Desk

I purchased this desk and a nightstand last spring to redo.  We wanted a yellow desk for Lyndon's room.

Painted hardware and shelf paper were added.

Lyndon wasn't sold on the bamboo look & I found another desk that had more of a retro feel so we sold this one.

I guess I forgot to take a before picture, but this is  the matching nightstand.

Memere's 79th Birthday

We celebrated Memere's 79th Birthday with swimming and dinner.

I was very thankful everyone was able to make it out.  Family sure is important!

Playing Rummikub...

Gift time....

This face looks like I might be in trouble.... I found the prettiest Coach wallet with a wrist strap and in Memere's favorite color.

Happy Birthday Memere and I am so glad you are in Texas!

12 Year Wedding Anniversary

Cody and I celebrated our 12th Anniversary this past weekend.  We enjoyed a relaxing trip to Medicine Park.I wasn't quick enough to snap the OK State sign so I took one of the toll entrance instead.

The river...

I don't think you are suppose to swim in this part of the river-it wasn't very clean either.

Lawtonka Lake...

Cabins aren't allowed to be build on land so they instead build floating dock houses.

We thought this looks very fun!

We then drove to Meers.  Look at the line-thank goodness we had already eatten.

On top of Mount Scott....

The dock houses from Mount Scott.

The dam.

Medicine Park.

Our one bedroom house.

 On the next hill over.

Sunday we went back by Lawtonka Lake to look at the unloading ramp-we want to bring Lyndon, the boat, and camper.

I had to stop-just look at the treasures!  I came home with a bargain desk!

Meers was delicious!!!!!

Medicine Park.

Home Sweet Home!

It was a great weekend getaway and I enjoyed the time with Cody.  Now we're excited to bring Lyndon to the lake.
