District Music Contest

District Music Contest was held March 31st.  Both of my darling boys took a solo, they have to memorize and perfect two songs to sing in front of a judge.  The judge will rate them on a scale of 1 to 5.
1 - Excellent
2 - Superior
3 - Good
4 - Fair
5 - Weak
(something like that)
In order to advance to State Contest, the student must receive a 1 rating.  Cameron received a 2 and Christian received a 1...they both did a great job and I was really proud of them. 

Here are their contest pieces...

Cameron Hoagland - Freshman at Lincoln High School

Christian Hoagland - Junior at Lincoln High School

Happy Belated Blogoversary to me!

I completely missed my blogoversary...how disappointing.  Two years of off and on again strange writings, tales, and confessions.  Last year, I did a blog makeover, I recently redid some things but I'm gonna change it again...I made this cute little chick button and I have to revolve everything around him ;) Stay tuned...again!

Spring is in the Air


Ah Spring...the flowers are blooming and the weather is lovely.  My lilac bush was swarming with butterflies and I snagged a good pic before they all flew off.


Next is my Wisteria...it is beautiful and smells oh so good (so do the lilacs).  The blooms look almost like a clump of grapes.  They bloom first and then the leaves come after the flowers are gone. 
 It is totally taking over this tree!  James thinks it's going to kill it but I don't really care.  Every Spring I have a huge purple tree in my yard.  The butterflies weren't swarming this one...instead it was bees, bumble bees.
These flowers look good because I don't really have to do anything to them...as for the rest??? We will see...oh, you know I don't have time to take care of flowers, I'm too busy writing about them, ha!

It's the Simple Things

It's a tough job but someone has to do it....


 A must-have for any bathroom remodel...an easy-to-load toilet paper holder. This was my hubby's contribution, it is the only thing he really wanted in our "new" bathroom. I finally found one at K-Mart.
 Amazingly easy...simple enough for the whole family to use.

....the upstairs bathroom...need I say more?

Bathroom Remodel

A while back I mentioned to James that I would like to do something to the downstairs bathroom.  Every time I was in there I would see something that would make me gag, okay not physically but it would speak to me and it was saying "people see this every single time they use this room and it's really gross".  It was mostly some water damage and old porcelain tile that I didn't like.  This led to one thing after another, if I change this then I need to change this, etc, etc.  Several months ago I started buying this here and there, if this was really going to happen there was no way I could afford it all at once, so every once in a while I would pick something up and store it somewhere until I could talk my hubby into "getting to it".  A few long months later and here it is!  The before and after...and one in the process! ha!

Down to the studs!

 Cameron said he liked the light house motif better, he didn't actually use the word motif...


 Christian got a kick out of a cross being directly above the toilet....didn't think about that but it probably needs to be there because some very unholy things go on in here.

 Crown molding makes everything look better :)
 Notice there are pictures (bath pics of my baby boys) those may return, muahaha!
I am so proud of my husband and all his hard work.  What a blessing he is, he came up with that mirror trim all by himself.
