After school campout

The week end school let out we went on a camp out with some friends in our ward, the Bechets. We went up by Strawberry where it was still cold and snowy. Mark and I were able to take a new trailer, (new to us) and a side by side to ride around in. All weekend this is all we heard from the kids, Can you take me on a ride? Ha! All the girlie's had fun and not to mention the boys!Lakota and Makayla had fun taking all the little ones on hikes to the nearby hills. As for us mom and dad's, adult conversation was much needed. Melanie and Harold are so sweet to letting us tag along. Harold has an obsession with having to have the biggest campfire then the next group, needless to say I think the stars could see us. It was so fun to have the kids play, roast marshmallows, paint fingers, play games and of course go for a ride!

This sucks! Oh by the way......

Happy 11th anniversary to Mark and I!!! While on a mini getaway to salt lake, (then onto lagoon!!) we received a call from Mark's brother telling us that his tow truck (marks) was set on fire!?!?! 6 weeks prior a guy set his own car on fire because his was mad that Mark towed it then gained it as his payment. After receiving threatening phone calls about his tow truck and the house mark went ahead and upped all the insurance coverage. Good thing he did cause 3 am while at a hotel in SLC, this is what went up in flames!!

It's toast!! what to do? Insurance will come into play but who knows how long it will take. Meanwhile Mark is looking for a new truck. This has been a big eye opener that things you hold dear, like a job, can go up in flames at any time! We have taken all actions to now protect our home and our 5 little ones. Things will get better and we are relying on the lord more then ever! Some how, some where there lies a blessing for us, Mark thinks its a new and bigger truck, HAHAHA!!!!

The start of their Journey!

May 19, 2011! The start of their Eternal life together, Scott and Jenn Leatham. What an amazing day, sealed for time and all eternity in the Salt Lake City temple, their journey begins. Although it rained during the pictures at the temple the day still turned out to be full of smiles and giggles. Jenn chose such amazing flowers for her big day, I was awe struck! Scott could have not chosen a better companion. Jenn is stunningly beautiful and fun loving. Jenn's bridal pictures were on display and were so sweet, Scott did wonderfully, like always behind the camera!! The reception we full of beautiful, large flower arrangements that Jenn's mom put together.( she is very talented!!) Lots of kisses, cake and bubbles and the new happy couple are off on their new adventures!! Congratulations to Scott and Jenn! We are so glad to have been apart of your special day!! love you guys!!

From that to THIS!

Before



During- addi wanted to help too!

Addison's room is starting to come along well! I ordered the wall decal off of eBay! Now I am starting to think of what I can do in Lakota and makayla's room, oh the possibilities!


After- I'm so amazed at how it turned out! 20 bucks and lot of rubbing and a room transformed, too cute.

Mom

This is what Lakota did at school for a mothers day gift. Lakota is a very thoughtful little girl! She just melts my heart and has taken over being the little mommy. I am so blessed to have her in our family and for her caring the way she does about others! I love her to pieces!

A new wall

This is my new project! A family picture is going in the middle I just have to figure out what is the best way to hang it so the kids don't knock it down while heading down stairs. The red door defiantly gave the room the color that it was lacking! A big thank you to mark, my hubby for helping me hang the door up! (it was not an easy task!) I love how this turned out!


This is what my wall use to look like going down the stairs, boring and beige.



I have more projects coming I just have to wait till it warms up a bit so I can paint!
