North vs. South Mud Races

Filed Under: Family, Photography Tagged With: carsyn, daddy, dustyn

I hope you all have a wonderful week. This will be Dustyn’s first full week of preschool. I hope that it continues to go well, since he still seems excited. You can see photos from his first couple days here.

Here are more photos from the mud race this weekend. It was such a fun, family time.

Some of the boys. They always love watching the trucks.

More of my cousins truck Big Bucks.

I have been wanting and trying to do a panning shot forever but could never get it right. Finally got one but it was an accident. Oh well.

Here is Dennis Anderson {Driver of the Grave Digger Monster Truck} driving his mud truck King Sling.

Here are some random trucks.

Still on my to-do list: a gallery wall and living wall, but I'm a bit nervous since I'm not exactly good at that. One day, though... I also dream of getting a projector to display scenes on the big white wall.

I'm going to miss my Halloween decorations when they come down - time to start scouring thrift stores for Christmas decor, I suppose! 🎄
Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I am so grateful to have my own library/plant space. 

It will be a few more months/weeks before it’s complete but I’m proud of how far it’s come. 

What I have left to do still: Get the top for my desk and seal it. Organize my craft stuff and put it on the shelves under my desk. Figure out my gallery wall above my desk. Order my @wallygrowplanters for my living wall. And of course buy more books and plants. 😆

Thanks so much to my cousin @r_holz9 for all her decorating advice and @em.e.hicks for putting up with my million text messages. IKEA bookcases will be here tomorrow. Then need to paint them and start moving my books out there. After I finish with that, I will work on my living plant wall. Not sure when my low bookcases and desk will be built, but it will happen eventually. Almost there. 🙌🏼
