rearranging. recreating.

i love making old things new and changing this around a bit...and finding a GREAT deal on things too! the blue dish and the yellow dishes were less than $5 for all of them, i bought them on a clearance sale at a local antique mart a little while back. the teapots were a really great find at marshalls...and the china is a hand me down wedding gift from my grandmother that I have always wanted to display some how. here is a photo of the "after" - i didn't think to take a picture of how it was before BUT the bottom shelf and then the 2nd from the top had books on it and the middle one had a photo and a few other things...it looked kinda busy but was functional. here is what it looks like now...i'm not completely done, i still want to tweak a few things but here it is for now...and already its a MUCH bigger improvement!!

i love saturdays. i coach cheerleading with two of the best friends a girl could have. and my oldest daughter plays basketball the second hour. so i thought that i would just share a few photos from a typical Saturday in my life. probably one of my favorite parts about the games is that when my angel gets to the side of the court closest to us she always looks and waves and checks to make sure that we are watching everything that she does :). and our two youngest girls love cheering her on and watching her play... they grow up so fast! i can't believe that M is already 8 and is so big! they grow up way to fast and i am doing my best to enjoy each moment as they come and cherish them...and now without further delay...

Here are a few shots of my oldest playing her favorite sport/activity so far AND some of the girls i coach :
