Latest project












Why buy new furniture when you can paint your old stuff? I was pretty excited about this and loved how all my Living room furniture turned out. Maybe I should paint my kitchen cabnets! Just a thought :) I love paint!

Vernal

We've had a little more time to burn lately since we've had these few weeks off school. It's been really nice. So we went to Vernal to see Eric' sister Lindsay and her cute family. We had a blast during the short time we were there. The kids loved playing with there cousins. We went swimming, sand railing, and ate the best hamburgers ever! Lindsay is one awesome cook! I'm not a big meat eater, but those hamburgers were amazing!Thank for having us out, you guys! Love your guts :)


LASIK


A few weeks back I had Lasik surgery done on my eyes and they're doing great. Those first few nights I had to wear some goggles to protect my eyes. Brockie found them and thought they were pretty cool. I just had to take a picture....He's just so cute!

Abby and Eliza's luau birthday party

This birthday party was a lot of fun. The girls just love the Lilo and Stitch movie and so I wanted to do a party for them centered around that theme. So we did a luau and since their birthdays are so close to each other we combined them, which was also was a lot of fun. We had a pinata (I know, that's not Hawaiian!),played Hawaiian music, Ate pizza (also not Hawaiian),Sand Castle birthday cake and ice cream. It was a good time :)


Bear Lake and Soda spring geyser

We went camping in Idaho with Eric's family. We went to Bear lake and and then we went and saw the Soda spring geyser. We had a great time and really had a blast at Bear lake. The kids were so cute and loved every minute we were there.
We were also very excited about the geyser....until we got there and found out it was a man-made geyser (lamo) But, I guess the history behind it is acctually pretty interesting. Some pioneers were drilling for a hot water spring that they were hoping to use insted they found a cold water spring.So, It was still fun and still looked way cool.
It was really our first offical time takeing the kids camping and I think it went well...they really seemed to like it. We are looking forward to taking them camping again next summer.

Summer vacation in Idaho

For a few days in July we went and visited my parents, sister, brother in-law and got to meet my new nephew in Idaho. We had a great time Going to the cabin, playing games,4-wheeling, boating/tubing and of coarse, chasing the chickens:) Enjoy the pics! They make me laugh every time I see them!

Preschool Graduation


So, this isn't a very good picture, but it's of Abby getting her certificate from her teacher. She really had such a great few moths in this class and she just loved her teachers. We started at the very beginning of the school year in a private preschool and that didn't work out so well so by January we had her enrolled in a public school preschool. She was able to get all the help she needed. By May she had just excelled by leaps and bounds. She can even read a bit on her own. Thank you, Miss Jessy and www.starfall.com! Is it silly if I got a little teary eyed at the Graduation? I'm so proud of her!

Random Spring Fun

This spring was a difficult one. We really couldn't play out side all that much because it was so rainy and cold pretty much every day. But we found some things to entertain ourselves, like going to the Air and space museum on Hill AFB. The kids love that place! We need to go back.
