Our Latest Projects

Here is a picture of the desk that we refinished for a friend. Sadly, we have no room for this desk anymore so we are giving it away to a good friend.


This week we bought a new dining room table and chairs off of craigslist to replace our old set that was falling apart! Clay and I (mostly Clay) are spending the weekend refinishing this set and our excited to have a new look in the house.
Table top, after it's been stripped.

The spindles on these chairs were seriously chewed up by the previous owners dog, so they are being replaced.
Table base, it has been sanded so it's hard to see the color, but it's a pretty ugly yellow. Not for long!!
Clay also re-did his projector screen and built a frame for it! The picture looks amazing (even I can see a difference)!

Clay's Ski Trip

On Tuesday, Clay, Brennan and Bronson went to Mt. Baldy for a day of skiing. Sometime during the afternoon I got a phone call from Clay telling me to check my email. So I checked my email and this was the picture I received. On his second run of the day, he ended up taking a pretty bad tumble down the mountain where he took the impact of the fall with his face. Thank goodness he was wearing a helmet!!



After a mild concussion and a beat up face, a few days later he is doing fine. Sure knows how to scare the bejeebees out of me!!

Happy Six Months Jackson!

6 months old today! Practicing sitting on his own.

Such a happy boy!

This is his "hi mama." look.

Just a couple of hours old...so tiny!
Can't believe it's already been half a year since our little buddy was born. Time sure flies!


Jackson thinks his daddy is so funny!

A few recent pictures...2-10

There is nothing more precious than a sleeping baby! My goofy boy ends up in all kinds of funky positions.

Gnawing on Sophie, one of his favorite toys.

Happy boy! He loves to stand!! Now if we could only get him to sit.

Playing in his gym, he loves this thing!

Jackson chatting with mama and watching his puppies play.

Jackson rolls over!

Whenever Jackson doesn't want to eat something, he bends over so I can't reach his mouth. Goofy boy.

A Little Background



Clay and Lisa were married on December 29th, 2007.

"On this day I will marry my friend, the one I live for, laugh with and love."


Last September, on a sunny Tuesday morning, we welcomed Jackson Clay into our family.


Jackson weighed in at 8lbs 9oz and 21in.

He is such a sweet baby!


Clay is currently involved in two different businesses, the first is Chaffee Finishing. This is where he does all of the cabinet and furniture finishing and refinishing. The second is CnP Systems, the computer repair company. He is currently quite busy with both businesses!
Lisa is a stay at home wife and mama but also teaches piano lessons. She is currently enjoying her role as a mom as she watches Jackson grow each day.
We decided to create a blog about our family as we go through this crazy adventure called life.
