Paint does wonders. It's true. We have been working our hearts out at Fiesta Drive, and sacrificing much rest and relaxation to make this our home. When looking through pictures I realized that we have come SO far, but in the midst of working I feel like I will never be done.
We had such a productive Memorial day weekend. My dad supplied our "construction zone" with some festive flags for the holiday weekend.
If you don't know this already about our family, we love all things America and flags. My dad has supplied our neighborhood with flags on every light pole and has created an amazing annual 4th of July parade. It is something I always want to be in town for no matter what.
We enjoyed a nice family picnic at church. Pam and Steve's concert band played some festive music while we all enjoyed BBQ, chips, desserts, and of course, moon bounce and all sorts of inflatables for the kids. Jack is just the cutest.
We then went over to see the Turman family tree house/fort that Russ has built in the back yard. This thing is awesome. Dudley and Cooper dominated in a little touch football in the meantime. This was such a nice break from our busy work weekend. Thank you Turmans for always entertaining us!
This is what the kitchen looked like when we bought it.
This is what the kitchen looks like now... in progress.. yes, we are getting new hardwoods in there, I can hardly contain myself.
There are so many pictures to share, but it's very late and it's a busy week. You can kind of see the den paneling painted through the doorframe, but just you wait til you see the before and afters of that! Will post more soon!
Today is the kick-off to the BBQ fest of Memphis in May. Dudley's accounting firm (KPMG) counts the votes of the contest, so they have a huge tent with flooring, carpet, etc. They are bringing in a BBQer from Tupelo, and I'm excited about this! I haven't been to BBQ fest in years because it isn't that fun if you don't have anyone's tent to go to. Hundreds of world class grillers gather in Tom Lee Park, and I can't wait to see all the contestants. See who's competing here. I never knew that many team names could all revolve around pork/pig. I think my favorite might be "Barefoot in the Pork." The contest wouldn't be complete without the "Ms. Piggie" competition where grown men dress up in ridiculous tutus. The best prize is the bragging rights of being the best griller.
