family fun

We went to Heritage Park because it was on the way to Park City and because it was a free day. Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate and it rained more than it didn't... We still enjoyed the free ice cream cone and some of the sights there. Then we went on to Park city and spent the night. The kids watched the Disney channel until late since we don't get cable and the only Disney channel shows they get to see are the older ones on Disneychannel.com. The next day, John got called unexpectedly to work (this is our life) early in the morning. Luckily, his brother, Ken and he had already planned to meet for breakfast on his way to Idaho. So his brother took him home and left me the keys so that we could hang out longer and do a little shopping while we were there. It was a short but nice trip.

Yum Yum, she liked the ice cream.

Happy Birthday Mom!

We had a fun little get together for Mom's birthday on Sunday. We ate dinner and played swedish golf, swings and trampoline. Happy Birthday Mom!

more lagoon fun

swimming!

Desi, Lindzi and Miranda

We went swimming at Michele's on Thursday. It was a lot of fun. Lindzi wasn't too sure about the water at first, but once i got in the pool, she warmed up to the idea and was kicking around. Another friend, Diana, was there with her girls and a few extras so the girls all had a good time.

Room make over II

I made the curtains for the scrap room today. They turned out pretty cute, considering I only sew if I have to and if it's an easy job... like straight lines for curtains. I don't do patterns or anything fancy. Also I bought another table and set it up for a larger work area. I had to move that cupboard to the other wall to make it work. Yay I am done with this project!!

Room Make Over

I have been very busy painting and moving into my new scrap room. It's been a lot of work and it's almost done. Here are some pics to show the progress.

This is a before picture.... there are two holes behind that punching bag that i had to patch.


Here we were in the process of taking down the border.

Painting the primer on.

Now we are paiting the new colors: pink and brown!

This is Desi helping out.

Next we put on tape for some fun stripes.

more taping.

the stripes... freshly painted.

We added a tan stripe in the middle on every other one. I will post some more pictures once i completely finish moving everything in. Keep scrolling down to see a few more pics.

what do you think?

They hatched!

Well the baby birds hatched!! They aren't too cute yet... but hopefully in time. It's still pretty cool that they hatched.

She's 18 months!

Lindzi's 18 month pics turned out soooo cute!! Don't you agree?

Desi Graduates!

Wow I cant believe that Desiree is now going to be going to the BIG junior high. I don't think I am ready for all of that. But, ready or not, here she comes! Maybe I will get used to the idea over summer break... we'll see. Anyway the sixth graders had a nice little program. They had a few student speakers and an adult speaker, lots of song and a DVD slide show. It was very nice. Thank goodness my friend Wendy brought her camera because I ran out the door without mine. Wendy also put together these cute little frames. I got the pictures developed and they are soo cute. Check out the picture below.

Desi Graduates from the 6th grade!

isn't it so cute!!

Brooklyn, the tree climbing wonder, found this cute little nest in our cherry tree. We keep checking up on it every few days much to the mama bird's disliking. John would rather not have them there because he thinks they will eat all the cherries up. But oh well... the girls and I are enjoying it and are excitedly waiting for them to hatch! We'll keep you posted with further news once it happens.

a cute sister pic

The girls decided to wear their matching outfits today.... so i had to take a picture of course. Notice Lindzi's nose. It's her latest boo boo. She scraped it on the sidewalk. That girl trips over air!!!
