Trip to Utah

Alan had the opportunity to take a training course in Salt Lake the last week in March.  I was excited to go with him because it has been way too long since I have seen my Gramma Kaye!  We spent the whole day with Gramma and I feel blessed that we were given that time.  

Bruce and Lucy also enjoyed our time with Gramma.  He still asks about going to see her at night after prayers.  I think he had a good time with Gramma, but I also thing he really loved her toy collection. 

 She had army men, and tractors.  What more could a little boy want!! 

 Lucy was in an amazingly good mood.  She is such a good kid! 

 Gramma really enjoyed both kids! 

 Love it! 

 Lucy loves the button, but if she pushed it all the nurses would come running! 

I love my Gramma Kaye!  I am so glad that we were able to spend some time with her! 

*On a side note- Gramma went sky diving last week.  Pretty crazy.  She told us she was going to do it when we were visiting and I thought she was kidding.  She wasn't.  What an awesome lady! 

Shaving Cream

This was grandma's idea...

Picasa

I just downloaded Picasa 3.  This is me playing around with the program.  Sometimes I am such an old lady when it comes to technology.

These pictures are from our trip to Rigby for New Years.  We played and ate, and played some more.  The kids really liked grandma's tub! 

Paint!

My mom asked me a while back what I wanted for Christmas.  I thought about it for a while and I decided that I wanted my house painted.  My mom has been asking to paint my house ever since we moved in so I thought this was a great idea.  We, meaning mom, painted the living room/kitchen, nursery, Bruce's room, and Karina's room.  Pardon the mess, but here are some pictures.  

 Here is the living room pre-paint and pre-clean.

 I am in the process of taking down hooks and prepping the room for paint.

Bruce wasn't quite sure what to think of the whole thing.

Mom was scared to climb up the ladder.  She did it, but she was very nervous.

Here is the kitchen pre-paint.

 Now for the after shots.

 Here is Bruce's room finished.  We need to put up some kind of a border in between the two colors but that will be a project for another day. 

Here is the nursery.  I went with a celery green.  Mom called it radioactive when she started painting, but she was pleased when it was all done.  I think it looks really nice!

Here is the another wall in the nursery.

 Karina's room turned out really cute.  I need a border for this room as well, but another day.

 Here is the living room all finished and cleaned.  It feels so homey!

 The kitchen looks great as well. 

 Here is the living room all done.

 Merry Christmas to me!

Rexburg Rapids

Bruce and I spent the weekend at my parent's house. While we were there we went to Rexburg Rapids. It is a new water park in Rexburg. Bruce loved it. My nephew, Hayden, was also with us. He loved it. We will definitely return.

He was much happier than he looks in this picture.

Hayden got soaked!

By the end of the day Bruce was pretty wiped out.

It was a fun day.
