Red Ribbon Week

This year for Red Ribbon Week the kids wanted me to take pictures of the crazy things that they got to wear. It wasn't too crazy, the first day they got to wear hats to school, which everyone thought was great. The second day they wore their clothes backwards. This was actually really fun. Say NO to drugs!

Donut anyone?

The neighbor wanted to do the donut on a string game with all of the kids. The younger ones weren't sure of how to tackle the donut, but that didn't stop them from have a great time. The older kids new what to do, but the boys were kind of poor sports about the whole thing. But in the end they had a great time.

When you can't find what your looking for, make it!

I wanted something unique for my Mother-in-Laws birthday. I couldn't find anything that I really liked. So I went to Hobby Lobby (my favorite store). I found these cute words, and thought how cute would that look if I could add photos. So I took floral wire and made spiral holders for the pictures. Jean loved it!




I made this one for my friend, Stacey. Happy Birthday Stacey!!!

Another project...

James and I can't seem to get enough of projects. I'm kidding of course, but we did decide to add an island in the kitchen. I needed some more room, my kitchen just didn't work for me. It's still a work in progress, but it's wonderful. This will eliminate the need for a kitchen table. I can't wait until it's finally done.

This Summer

This summer we have been real busy. We have been doing the front yard. We did something different, we made a giant waterfall. We just LOVE it!

Help!!!!!

So I obviously don't know how to do the slide show. If anyone could give me any pointers that would be great.

Our trip to Orderville, Utah

This year for the 24th of July we went down to Southern Utah, Orderville to be exact. James' family owns the home that his grandfather grew up in. We go down there at least once a year. We have so much fun! We have to make our trip to the Coral Pink Sand Dunes, Rock shops, and any other hiking adventures that we can think of.
Every year we have to do the Coral Pink Sand Dunes. Now that the kids are getting bigger and know what to expect they have so much fun. They like to try and find lizards. This time the younger kids are the ones that found the lizard.
Darren brought his 2 four-wheelers, the kids had so much fun ridding them.
This year we decided to hike Red Hollow. It's alot like the narrows. Tall mountians on all sides. The kids had fun trying to carve their names in the rocks. They loved the white sand at the end of the hike.
