Summer through my iPhone

Considering that this happened in the first week of summer vacation:

I wasn't able to do much typing, and frankly I was kind of down and out for a while after breaking my arm.

So I figure I will just share with you through pictures what my summer has been.

We replaced these ugly light fixtures in the front of the house:

With fans:

I bought a jersey heifer:

We found out Ace HATES thunderstorms!

We celebrated two birthdays!

We worked on the house, a lot!

We filled in the “window”:

And AFTER! I am sooo happy with it:

So much better!  We also replaced the hall lights, but alas, no iPhone pictures.

We also finished painting! (ish)

I wish I had before pictures on my phone.  I only have this “after” one of our guest bedroom.  I do have before and after pictures, but it is on my big camera.

I also did a few crafts:

I made this TV stand out of a dresser a lady from work gave me.

And this is a dresser I got for free from craigslist that I gave a nice face-lift.

We also did a quick road trip in a motor home with Chris’s parents to Indiana:

And on the trip we got to hang out with this cute girl for a few days:

I got my cast off:

and immediately got sunburned where my cast was :/

We also found this big guy hanging out on the 4-wheeler in the barn:
