Are we there yet???

Well we are finally at the start of the weekend.  And the Busy Bryants are coming to the start of another adventure!  This time we are taking our bus and heading out of the state....seems we just did that for some reason ;-)  Anyway....Tomorrow we all board up and head east to the great state of Tennessee.  We're joining 3 other families and staying in a king size home right on a river.  I am super excited!  The other families have been before and came home raving about it so now I am just like a kid wanting to know....ARE WE THERE YET?  You can take a virtual tour of the house here.  I am pretty sure that like our last vacation I will be MIA....sorry folks but adventures take a lot of work!  Until then some pretty pictures from our 4th of July celebration.





I made this cake like I made this one....yummy!





Hope everyone has a great weekend and in case I really do end up MIA then have a great week!  Do something fun...go have an adventure!

A 4th of July Tree

I had plans and decorations for a Mother's Day Tree and a Father's Day Tree....but those ideas and decorations somehow did not make it onto our Seasonal Tree.  Maybe had something to do with the 206 sports banquests, end of school celebrations and children's activities we get to attend.  But now some of the activities have subsided and I had time to change out the seasonal tree.  Up next....the 4th of July Tree!






The tree skirt is just a round table cloth with individual quilted yo-yos sewn to the hem.  I did trim the table cloth down to fit the diameter I wanted and then stitched the yo-yos right onto the cloth.  I think it's a nice addition to the collection. 

And just because I am so stinking proud of Tommy and Christy....


Tommy getting his letter for Outdoor Track


Christy getting her award for soccer


Before long it will be cross country for Tommy and fall soccer for Christy...I better cherish this semi-down time while I can!
