Gotta Love the Hill Country!!

This summer we took a mini-vacation to the Hill Country (to Mom and Dad's Ranch). We love it there...its is so beautiful, lots of neat little towns, and a bunch of wide open space!! Very relaxing! Just thought we would share a few highlights from the trip!!


Chris, Mom, Matt, and Everett in one of the ranch vehicles....Everett LOVED riding up top. As matter of fact, he just loved being in any of these vehicles...he was non-stop!

Family Picture!


Mama D, Papa D, and Everett!


Just the three of us....by the way, I think it was about 105 outside this day! Whew!


Everett playing with the baby fawn at the ranch!


Ashley (who is almost 5 months pregnant with my first little neice or nephew!!!),
Me, and Mom!


The three of us in the Safari Jeep!

And here are a few short video's from the trip!!

Family, Fun, & the FOURTH!!

We had a blast on the 4th!!! Every year, we have Chris' family out to our house for dinner and fireworks! Here are just a few pics from the very HOT, but fun afternoon!!!!

Everett in his 4th of July shirt and his sparkly top hat!
Our matching shirts....we have done this every year for 9 years now...
Isn't that crazy!
Everett loved the fireworks this year! We weren't sure how he would react...we thought they might be too loud! The noise didnt phase him a bit! He loved it!


Everett and Chris playing with glowsticks!

The girls and our x-tra large roman candles!!


Here is a quick video of Everett and the fireworks!

A Lil' Bit of Craftiness!!

Hey Hey Everyone! Over the summer I have had a little extra time to really work on some things that I have wanted to do for a long time! I have had so many people love the things that I have made so far, that I have decided to try and start a little side business doing these things! Today I am posting just a few pictures of what I have done recently. I have 2 more projects to work on this week, and will post pictures of them later. If you know anyone that would be interested in having any of these things made, let me know and we can discuss pricing based on what you/they would like. I would appreciate it if you would help me spread the word and jumpstart this little side business!! Please email me if you have any questions to kayking@aircanopy.net
Here is a little bit of what I have done so far....
This is a diaper cake I made with my friend Terri for her daughter's baby shower! Her theme for her little girl is pink ladybugs and paisley. It turned out really cute!

I also made these letters for the same friend. They coordinated with her baby bedding and will hang on the wall above her crib. I can paint any type of shape or surface that you might like, for example, a door hanger, or small sign, a box, or a chest...anything! I will be posting some other examples of these soon!








Again, any way you might be able to spread the word for me would be awesome!
Next.....on to a new post of our recent family vacation!!!
Love to all of you!
