Skip's Golf Tournament

Last weekend Joe helped organize a golf tournament in Skip's memory to help raise money for the scholarship in Skip's honor. They had a huge turn out, even with the heat wave. Here are some pics of the Blairs enjoying the day... none of me, I need to get better at being in pictures instead of always taking them.

Shannon, Brian, Westie and Jeff

Joe, Lacey, Noel and Kristin

Kevin and his friend Surface

Since I don't golf, I helped with the signage. Made over 60 signs for hole sponsorships and all the signage for the raffle table. Couldn't believe all of the items people donated for the raffle in honor of Skip - such a great tribute!

Bubbles, take 2

With Jason moving to Maryland, he stopped by last weekend to visit and bought Cian a bubble machine. I think we have reached our limit on bubbles in the Blair household!

Beware- my voice is very loud and screechy in this video. You have been warned....

And a funny video on why football might not be in Cian's future.... with a little appearance from Jason's dog, Boo. No, that was not a ground hog.

House updates

Here are some pics of two projects we just finished up around the house--

First up, our way to track Cian's height. Funny memory - every time I think about marking children's height on a wall, I think of Leslie's kitchen with PEYTON written in giant kid's handwriting in black sharpie marker from when Josie added her friend's height when they little. Its still there, right?

Anyway, Brian wanted to mark Cian's height on a wall, but I was afraid we would lose this memory if we moved. So a quick search on pinterest and I found this awesome idea. One trip to buy a piece of wood, a little paint and some distressing -- now we have this cute ruler!

Our second update is a little scary, even for me. I've been in love with these custom kitchen drawer organizers forever. For years!!! You send the guy your drawer measurements, how you want the drawer arranged and he sends you a custom wood insert. So I finally took the plunge and got them for all ten of our kitchen drawers. Its a little scary. Its very organized. I love them, but I'm also a little scared I have gone too far. And I know when Josh comes to visit, they will all get switched around on purpose!

Here they are - so pretty, waiting to be installed...
