May 2011

May has turned out to be one of the busiest months in a long time. We got a few things done.

We have been finishing or attempting to finish projects around the house. Here are a few. Pics of the Bathrooms will be coming shortly, we need to still hang a few things.

My version of the popular Subway art thats going on. I needed something to fill this space. So I whipped this out.

I stuck it in my hall as you exit the laundry room. Some of the words that are smaller read: Mt. Timpanogos, "our hopes and dreams", Go Utes, eternity, Cherry Coke, pajama master (my nickname). Just random stuff about our family.

I finished covering my dinning room chairs. The kids have plastic over them as well as the fabric. Its the smartest thing I've done with our eating arrangments. I just wipe off the chairs when we are done. Makes life so much easier.
Still trying to organize and decorate this area. Its so hard. Still looking for the right TV console to set the TV on. And I think I may hit the flea market for some cool books. Its a work in progress.


found some new fun pillows for my family room. Going for colors in Dusty Rose, Blue,Cream and green. The Brown pillow picks up all the colors.




Organized my little kitchen office/computer desk area.
Of course, more kitchen vinyl. Still waiting to find the perfect kitchen curtains.


We blessed Crew and had a fun get together with family.My parents ,my sister, two of my brothers, my cousin and her family (from Tucson) and my aunt and uncle (from Tucson) all came and had a great dinner and enjoyed some dinner theater by my brother, Taylor (giggle,giggle).



These boys are only 7 weeks apart. Crew and his cousin Carter
Temps were in the 70's this week. So nice for real pajamas. I dont know why, but I love my babies in their jammies. So darling.
My sister Ariel came into town from St. George, Utah. We love and miss her already!





Zachary and Tanner graduated from Kindergarten. They were so cute singing in the program. Now, its onto summer vacation and temps that will keep us sweating for the next 4-6 months. I wish I had a summer home in Switzerland. Or Alaska.





We also got to hike around Lake Pleasant for the first time this month. It was only mid 70's that day, so we didnt bring our suits. The water was cold, but rocky beach was too enticing for little hands that wanted to throw rocks. A little horse play never killed anyone. Or did it? It was a fun time for all.
