One adorable store!

We found this store in Ketchum ID and I was so excited to finally see a table like what I had in my brain for our laundry room. We will be tiling the laundry room under the shelves behind the washer and dryer. Same subway tile that we have in the kitchen. Then I want to rent a mig welder and get some metal legs and then a cute wood top in it. So excited when I found the table in this store!!! Also, my good friend Carrie is starting her own business of refurbishing old furniture and the furniture in this store was so so cute. The finishes were exactly what I want in my house. I was trying to sneak some pictures in of the different finishes of the tables, chest of drawers and armoires. I could have spent hours and hours in this store! It was my fav part of our trip to sun valley! Love it my next project is to paint the wicker dining outdoor set a fantastic orange color. Also will be trying out a curtain of a drop cloth with big orange stripes down it. Cannot wait to get started on these projects after our trip!

Cannot move

We have been super super busy. Got the three car garage floor painted and it looks so mucho better! A ton of work, we have to let the third space dry for 24 hours and then move everything back into its spot. Steve and i installed hooks and hangers and cleaned walls and painted the steps leading into the house. Cleaned the doors and fixed the rubber under the garage doors, took our eight five gallon water storage out of the sheds and will be storing them under the shelves in the garage. We have insulated garage doors and it makes a huge difference of what we can store in the garage. We cleaned behind the extra fridge and our big freezer. My treadmill is ready to roll again and the bikes are ready for some fun bike rides. Cleaned up the work table and we went through all totes again and will make another trip to goodwill. Crushed our cans to recycle and got the golf net out to practice in. Trent has worked the last two days and Trevor got his mowing job done Monday. Then, while Steve worked I took the boys golfing. It was a beautiful day for golf. Trent scored in the eighties again. He is getting better and better. Steve and Trent played in a two man scramble on Saturday and won over six hundred dollars in drivers. It was awesome. They took first place. Sweet.
We have a party at the Rec cntr pool tomorrow night and then a fun stake 24th of July party on Saturday evening. Trevor celebrated his birthday in Sun Valley Idaho and was set apart on Sunday. He recited an article of faith while graduating from primary and then gave a youth talk in sacrament. He did awesome. Howard and Gayla were here for the meetings and it was fun having them here. We had a blast in Yellowstone and Sun Valley. I was exhausted. We are readying for another trip and trying to get all the chores done. Got the weeding done in the garden and we are enjoying fresh peas, onions, and summer squash. Yum !!!!! We had so much fun hanging with the girls on our vacation and are excited to see them soon. We are trying to rest also for the next trip, visiting friends, two weddings, birthday barbecues, river rafting, camping, golfing, swimming, cousin time, watching my sisters run a race, etc. I really have to get some solid sleep in before our trips. They exhaust me. But so many wonderful memories. Well off to eat our dinner and fall into bed. My back is sore from cleaning and painting. Next up, our cute iPhone picture from the trip! Toodles.

Sweet summertime!!!

The baseball season has wound down. The boys played their last game on Saturday at 3:00 pm in 105 degree weather. Whew! Now we are off on some family fun trips. Should be a blast! Used up 16 gallons of paint. The back porch floor painted, railing painted and then the front porch floor painted, and railing is almost done. The fence is done and it feels so so so good to get all this painting and chores done. Jacy is having an absolute blast in Jackson, Kelcey is staying busy hanging with the family down in Logan and the boys are busy working their jobs and helping me paint! Now, the rest of the summer we will be mainly out of town! Fun times! Toodles again!
