Boys Comforters

Here is my latest find! The boys room is soooo close to being done. Just a few last decor items, and it will be one more room TOTALLY finished!

On a side note: Can I just tell you how much I LOVE Target! And how I WISH WISH WISH they were putting one of them in here instead of ANOTHER walmart! Why Why WHY do we need 2 walmarts in Cache Valley!? I might be able to find great things like this more often if I didn't have to drive ALL THE WAY TO LAYTON to get to a target!

The Basement

So yea! The Basement is done! At least most of it is. We have a few things here and there to add, but the walls are painted and the carpet is in - - - so it is livable. And of course one of the first things done was to put Matt's tv on the wall! MEN!

This is the family room. Long and lovely! Don't ask about the green paint (it was a nightmare to pick out!) but it turned out wonderfully in the end.

The boys crawl space toy storage etc. Ethen picked out the color (I know I was feeling brave!) but we think he did a great job! They even got to help paint it.

This is my laundry room. I still have flooring to do in here, but I am SO excited about the color. I know it is a little wild, but hey it is a laundry room, and who needs to love it but the one doing the laundry!

This is what will be the "guest bedroom". As Ethen and Nait put it "Grandma and Grandpa's room. I still need to put up the glaze stripes on the wall, but just didn't get them done before the carpet came. Could have been worse!

So now all we need now is a bed and we are set. Come visit whenever! We FINALLY have the room to have you over! I am sure there are little things here and there we will always be working on, I mean, come on, the walls can't stay bare forever!~ But we are LOVING the space!

Fruits of our Labor

Here are the first things that have come out of our garden.

I probably let the zuchinni go to long! Oh well

(and it is a mini golden tomato - I wasn't in a hurry to pick it!)

The boys were so excited about our first "sukkini" and wondering when another one will grow, but of course they will never eat it!

Thanks

To my wonderful friends (you know who you are!) thanks for dropping by. You will never know how much I needed to just have a night of catch up and chatting. And margarita's on a stick! To die for. Love ya both tons!

High Flying

Here are some fun pics from Nibley heritage days. It wasn't huge, but it is getting bigger every year. The boys (well . .. Ethen) were excited about all the big blow up toys and wanted just to play on those. Thankfully they had a 5$ pass to ride everything as much as you wanted.

They had some awesome miniture horses that were so cute. I could so go for one of those one day!

No problems here! My boys are definately climbers!

But I think I should start worrying about the dare devil side of them. They saw a kid jump on the top of this before he slid down and thought it looked "cool" as Ethen puts it.

Now this is normal behavior for Nait. He has never been one to FEAR much.

Yes, that is ETHEN flying high. He is really coming out of his shell and trying new things.

I think I should start worrying now!

Catching Up

So yes, it has been some busy times, and I haven't really been able to keep up with the time as it has flown by. Also I have been a little depressed because my beloved camera is missing. I have had no urge to do anything but sit and sulk.

Acutally we really have been busy, BUT good news the basement is almost done! Just the windowsills to do and then we get to paint. Carpet is allready bought and is ready to install as soon as we are ready for it!

With so many activities and things going on time just seems to pass me by, but I will try to be better about my posting.

So here are a few things we have done in the last month:

Ode to a Tractor

Thank you dear tractor:

For the thousands of hours of fun

For the many loads of dirt you hauled

And most of all, for the entertainment you gave a 2 year old for so much time.

I will miss you greatly, my new bike just doesn't do or haul half the things I made you.

Love you and I am mad at my dad for throwing you away while I was gone.

Nait

(We as parents are eternally grateful, and are very sorry that you broke in half!)
