Giraffe

My friend Mark got his africa animal "stuffings" back finally. So I love love love giraffe's. Well I actually like the real ones at the zoo, and not on walls, but thought it was actually pretty cool stuffed. This giraffe is so big, just had to have a couple of pictures of it, plus one of me so you could judge the size of that beauty.

House face lift

So you know that Elder Colten Wells will be soon, so lots of things to spiff up around here... so my house got a "facelift". Yep, new paint, out with the gray trim and in with the new. I love it!

Symone graciously decieded to come to my rescue and HELP. Oh how I appreciated it!



And the after! I love them.... It is amazing what a little can of stain can do!
