Hanging out with Darren and Dakota



Darren and Dakota came down to Orderville on Wednesday night. We went down to the barracks to ride the quads and did a little hiking too. The kids had fun playing in the sand and climbing up rocks. The picture of the Mt. goats, the kids and I saw them Monday night on our way back from Hurricane. It was amazing to watch how quickly they made it down the side of that rock!

Our visit to Hurricane, UT


The kids outside of Grandpa and Grandma Redding's house.


Grandpa's volcanoe. It's right behind his house.


The kids with their Great-Grandparents.



The week of the 24th of July, we went down to Southern Utah. The kids and I went down a few days early so that we could visit with my Grandparents. We surprised them, they had no idea we were coming. We had a great visit, the kids loved running back and forth. Grandpa took us around and showed us all of the sites around his house. He showed the kids "his volcanoe". The kids thought that only Hawaii had volcanoes, it was fun for them to learn something new. While we were down there we couldn't resist going to In and Out. It was well worth it!

My kids rooms

For the last week or so I have been busy painting my kids rooms. We let them pick out the colors that they wanted. Some of the colors are a little crazy, but each color that they picked fits their personality. I'll have to post Jace's room another day it isn't quite finished yet, in fact it isn't even started.

This is Kyra's room. She wanted purple with green stripes. She wanted the stripes to go around the entire room. I had nightmares about it looking like a circus tent, so we agreed that just one wall with stripes was much better. She loves her new room.


Next we have Kyzleigh's room. She wanted pink and green. I wanted them to have similar rooms (they are twins after all), but I didn't want them to be the same. So she decided that she wanted her stripe along the ceiling. I think it turned out really cute.



Now for Brett. He chose colors that made his dad think that he was a little crazy. His favorite colors are blue and orange. James thinks they're an odd combination, but Brett loves them. I think that it turned out really good.



In 2007, we had a flood in the basement. We had to take up some of the carpet, and the bottom part of the walls and most of the wood floor that we had put in. At the time it was a BIG blessing, we still trying to fix up our other house and we were paying the mortgage on it too (thank goodness for insurance). After my parents moved last month we decided that we could no longer put off taking care of the basement. So this has been our lives for the last few weeks. I'll add some more pictures as we go.

Cascade Springs 2009







Cascade Springs is one of our family's favorite spots. It is so quiet there, we love to sit and watch the fish in the crystal clear water. We saw a lot of beautiful wildlife, most scurried away before I could snap their pictures.
