Sunny Room

Last Thursday our water heater leaked water into our family room. Cleaning it up required replacing the carpet. After moving all the furniture out (Thanks Connie, Arron, Nick, Zack,Billy, and Scott) the carpet was replaced. While contemplating the daunting task of replacing all of the furniture, I decided that the room needed to be painted first. On Saturday, Richard and I painted while the kids were wonderful and stayed out of our way. When we bought the paint i noticed that 2 of the gallons had been mixed with pastel based paint while one had been mixed with an accent based paint. After being assured by more that one person that it would not make a difference, we took the paint home. Saturday night after spending the whole day painting, we realized that the people at Home Depot were wrong and it does make a difference. We had to get the room painted because Kiersten and Sarah's room was completely filled with furniture and they could not sleep of get to any of their cloths. This only meant one thing, we had to finish the room Saturday night. With much hard work from the whole family we were able to get the room a much needed face lift. Thanks to Guy and Drue we were able to get the beast of a couch back downstairs and the room is now functional again.

Notice the two color walls

My cute boy

I finally cashed in some of my Disney rewards points and got Dallin this cars tent. When it arrived we set it up in the backyard and played with it all day. When it was tim to come in and go to bed Dallin insisted that he be allowed to sleep in it. He wanted the tent in his room, so we moved it in there. After piling all of his blankets and pillows into it, and alot of patience,he finally went to sleep. In the morning he climbed into our bed and informed us that he never wanted to sleep in the tent again because it gave him nightmares.

Becca playing Violin

I am so proud of Becca. She amazes me daily with her spiritual strength and she is an amazing student. So my smarter then I ever was. She has worked so hard this year on Violin. Last week when she came out of her lessons she told me that she has a passion for violin and that she loves playing. I love to hear her play and thought that I would share a little of her playing with you. Enjoy!

She was not excited to do this for me as she kept noting that it never sounds good without a professional recording. I think she sounds great!

Free Time

So school is out. What do I do with my free time you might ask? Well, I have been quite busy in the the 3 days since school got out. I have finished crocheting a baby quilt, started a baby sweather with yarn Nicole sent home from Duluth, finished the Love quilt I started 2 years ago,

And finished the civil war quilt I started 5 or 6 years ago. Whew, what a weekend!

Kiersten's Teeth

On friday Kiersten got 4 baby teeth pulled so that she would have room for her mouth to move with braces. She was so good about it. The worst parts were the shots, after that she was home free. The recovery has been a piece of cake other than the fact that it is hard to chew.

Dallin's Graduation

On thursday, May 28, Dallin graduated from preschool. No he is not starting kindergarten, but is now in the 5 year old class. I know it is a little silly but what can you do? It was a cute little program where they sang and got dipolmas. Afterwards there was a little luncheon.

Memorial Day Weekend

We all had a great Memorial day weekend. I got the oppurtunity on Saturday to fly to Duluth Minnisota to vist my sister and her family. She had just had little Hannah and my mom and I got there just as they were getting ready to release her from the hospital. It was great! I had so much fun playing with Emma, holding Hannah, and spending time with Nicole, Brent, and my Mom. I also got to eat at "Hell's Kitchen" which was wonderful! Thanks Nicole, Brent, and my mom for making this trip possible.

Back at home Richard and the kids had a family gathering. ALl of the grown children and grandchildren came over on sunday. From what I have heard it was a great time. Thanks Guy and Erin for picking up grandma and taking her home!
