My Life Now

Mostly my life consits of cleaning the house for people to come see it, sewing little cute things for the girls, reading, traveling (back and forth from SLC, BLAH) and going to the beach. I love the beach. No its not really a beach like on the ocean, but its on a lake and there's sand all around it. Close enough for me. :) The kids like the water and the sand, I like the sun. LOL. Its so relaxing. We had a good 4th of July and I celebrated my 26th birthday on the 3rd. Kevin surprised me by coming back for my birthday. He didn't have off, so he came back for the morning, and then left in the afternoon. We ate birthday cake in the morning and I got a SURGER! It was awesome. I also went to the beach with the kids and then went back that night for Fireworks. That was so fun. We were actually on the beach this time, and it made all the difference being able to see it up close. Then on the fourth of July we went to my inlaws for a parade and for a bbq that got rained out. Rained out is an understatment. Actually it flash flooded their town. I got proof. It was crazy. It washed away the road. When we finally got out, we went to the Pocatello fireworks, and then drove back to Rigby. I had a busy week last week, and I have to say that I am quite enjoying being at home doing nothing this week. (well not nothing, of course some peps are coming to look at the house all the time, so I have to clean clean clean.) But its good to be home. In fact, I'm going to the beach today! OOOh, I can feel the sun now..... skin cancer here I come. LOL :)

Pictures from my birthday, dont look too closely, I don't have makeup on, it was only 8 in the morning and I just woke up! The other picture is us waiting for the fireworks on the beach. It was so cool.

The kids waiting for CANDY from the parade. It was a good parade. It lasted 50 mins! Thats a lot of candy. :)

My cute kids... I made the girls dresses. I got the fabric from walmart. It only cost me 3.75 for the yard and a half that I got. You can't beat that for 2 dresses. I made up the pattern, so its a one of a kind, Vanessa. :) LOL We took this picture of the family at the bbq, right before the HAIL and RAIN came. After this, the ground was covered in 2 feet of water.

This is Hannah and her cousin. Theyre only 10 days apart. They have a love/hate relationship. Here they are loving. Next one of them wacked the other. :)

This is after the flast flood rain storm. All the rain ran down from the mountains and the little colverts couldnt keep up. This video is the road going to my in laws house. We thought we were going to be stuck there. The raging river cut away the road.

This video is of my inlaws neighbors house, they dont have a road anymore.

Waiting for the fourth of July fireworks. Austin cuddled up with Grandpa Buetts. Then the kids playin with Uncle Adam. Notice the groovy glow in the dark jelwery.

The wonderful beach. My Little Hannah diggin up a storm. Can't wait to get out there.

Christmas Tree Hunting

On Saturday we took the kids (minus Hannah, she was sick) to go pick out a tree. We have a nice fake one that we usually put up, but this year I rearranged the living room so that we could put in a HUGE one in our vaulted ceiling. And since we couldn't afford a huge fake one, we decided to get a tree permit (10 dollars) and go hunting for one. We went with another family and took hot dogs up, which made it even more fun. It only took about 45 mins to get there and then once we got there, I think it only took like 10 minutes before Kevin found THE ONE. I wanted it tall and BUSHY. I like them thick.

This is THE ONE! Kevin cut it down like Paul Bunion.

We had to cut off the top just a little for it to fit in the space that we had, plus it was a little sparse up top anyways. So Austin thought it made a good Austin tree. Then we carried it back to the truck.

This is us standing in front of our prized tree.

Then we took it home and decorated it. I found out really fast that I didn't have enough lights, so I had to go buy some. Like 10 more boxes. LOL. I think its beautiful. Hannah does too, she like to pull the decorations off and carry them around.
