Driving me nuts!

Does anyone know how to get that photobucket thing off? I can't read what I wrote and it has to be annoying to you guys too. Thanks!

Why not do one more?

Project on the house that is! Brett wanted to take out a small portion of the entry way ceiling because it was leaking. He ended up ripping out EVERYTHING! The morons before us decided to just put plastic up near the leak instead of fixing the roof. What happens when you do that??! Lots of mold! Well not anymore because Brett tore it all out. The bonus though is we get to have a vaulted ceiling in the entry way! WHOO HOO! The scary thing is we don't think any of the additions are up to code....not even close.....I hope we don't find anymore surprises! The paler brick is the original house, the red brick an addition. You can't see it in the picture but the corner where they meet is not held together by anything....the morter has pulled away

They primed the house for painting and then built the entry way. At one time the porch was the outside porch and the entry way. Somebody enclosed part of the porch. I think they had to knockout half a wall to have it go into the front room. I'm hoping there was a window there already.

MAN I have an old house!

Bear Lake 2 (no kids allowed)

Our really good friends Ryan and Hailey thought it would be a brilliant idea if we had a grow-ups only 3 days at Bear Lake. It was the BEST idea ever! Brett's mom watched the kids while we were at the Lake, and Brett's sister and Bro-in-law watched Belle for us (thanks a ton) It was nice to be able to spend all day on the boat and not worry about kids near the water. Well we couldn't spend all day on the boat, the wind kicks up and we have to go in but Hailey and I wanted to go on a hike. Ryan ended up going with us, it was a good thing too. We got thunder and lightening and pea sized hail. But it was a great hike and the scenery was to die for!Bloomington Lake

Yes, the white stuff is snow. Elevation 8200 ft

It was 75 degrees when we left the cabin, it was 48 when we left the lake

I love it!


We stopped by the Bear Cave for shakes on the way back to the cabin from the hike, I wanted hot chocolate because I was still so damn cold. But I love the little teddy graham they put in it.

Brett wakeboarding, what a HOTTIE!

This was actually the family trip but Brett and I never get pics together. I got just a little sunburned!

The other bad thing that happened at the family trip was I lost my phone on the beach while I was four wheeling with Khloe. It must have fallin out of my back pocket. Oh well though because I got a new one. I tried to look for it but there was no way I was going to find it.

Bear Lake

We had the annual Bear Lake trip with Brett's dad and family. We had a BLAST! We did Gage's party saturday night, we made smores and just had a nice time playing in the sand and water. I really enjoy just relaxing with my family! I only got sunburned on my back, the kids got sunburned around their eyes, and they were so worn out from playing with their cousins all day. Belle LOVED the water, she took to swimming like a champ! There was only one time we wouldnt jump off the floating dock into the water. But once I pulled her in she did a great job! Jetty LOVES smores
Celebrating Gage's birthday!

This was before we left. Please notice that Starr is not on the slide but she is jumping down it. Crazy kids!

Gage is 4!

Wow it just seems like yesterday Hailey was driving me to the hospital in preterm labor with my little red-headed boy! He was been such a great little guy. He really wanted a Toy Story 3 party. So Brett and I decided we would invite some cousins and friends to the drive-ins to watch. We didn't really plan anything, but I guess we should have. We arrived WAY to early for the drive-ins. We were planning to have the little party while we were waiting for it to get dark, luckily there was a nice park near by we could use. Gage has a new bike now! He is really excited. He also got some Toy Story 3 toys and a mini nerf dart gun (my favorite). Then we headed over to the theater. And because I am a moron and didnt check to make sure the movie was still playing (it wasn't) we didn't get to watch Toy Story 3. They had it as the second movie to Dinner for Shmucks. WHY on earth would you put a kid movie as the second movie? So we watched Dispecable Me. I liked it and so did the kids. It was a great birthday for Gage!

Trying to show me he got Woody for his birthday

On his cool new bike, and yes we did buy him a helmet too!

Getting ready for the movie!

Man, I have some ragamuffin kids!

Before and After

We finally put the black walnut trees on KSL for free. If you wanted the wood you had to take out the trees. And we actually got someone who wanted the wood. We wanted to fell the walnut but two other trees were in the way. Those trees were eventually going to come out. But the guy had a winch so we just pulled them over. It was AWESOME! Now we have a VERY sunny patio and I don't have to rake as many leaves in the fall. When the last tree came out, it turned at the very last moment and took the corner of the porch off. I am just grateful it was the porch and not a person. I will post videos later or they are on my facebook page.
oh yeah it was almost 100 degrees on saturday!

Once again.....

I forgot to take before pictures! You would think after how many times I have done that I would remember. Oh well. Please enjoy the pics!My tomatoes
Red peppers

My roses

This was a overgrown with weeds and looked HORRIBLE. So Sunday Brett and I weeded around the roses, weed wacked everything else, tilled it and put sod in. Oh and we planted a flowering cherry. You can see it a little bit behind the stump (which will be coming out soon!)
