Bathroom Update...

We finally got the bathroom upstairs done.  We started in October with the tub surround. What should have been a 3 day process took 3 weeks.  We are learning that nothing happens as quickly as we think, and the fix is never as easy as the guys at the store say it should be.  Neverless, after lots of hard work and some time - the bathroom is finished.  Almost I guess.  It still needs a tp holder and light, but those should be quick and easy fixes.... then again I have learned my lesson.  Just trying to find one we like seems to be the trick. We have worked hard, but love the finished look!

 The "white" tub surround - before.

 Tile torn off, and replacing moldy sheetrock.

The new white marble surround.

 Old vanity - with old counter and sink

 Putting in the fixtures, already it looks better.

New and finished vanity with sink that matches new bath surround.

The matching wall cabinet.

The whole finished product.

It looks so clean and everything is new and we love it.  Good work P!

Fall Break

We took a little trip up north for a couple of days for our fall break. We had a fun time, even with the chilly weather, but the trees were beautiful.  We had nice weather - just a little windy - which is always the case up there.  We spent some time at the river, saw the temple, and spent a day on campus of BYU-I.  They have some new buildings that are really pretty.  It almost makes me want to go back to school - almost.

Nemo Cake

This little guy turned 4 this year. Wow - he is growing fast.  He came to my house for a birthday party. He was pretty excited, the "worst part" was waiting for the "best part of the day" === the presents. Which there was no shortage of.  He is a funny kid. He wanted a Nemo cake this year - so that's what he got - of course!!!

50th Anniversary

Today was my in-laws 50th anniversary. I did the decorations.  Here is what the end result was. (I also made the sign-in book, and Lemon Meringue Cupcakes.

Lovin' Me Some Summertime!

Had a terrific summer.  Went to my parents a couple of times, to Lake Tahoe, had some family down, enjoyed some holiday fun and fireworks, and went to two 50th Anniversary parties.  Sadly, from here are on out, my summer fun is on limited time.

Water fun at the splash pad.

A beautiful evening in the backyard. (Too bad it was out pulling weeds.)

 Twenty-Fourth of July. Love the July holidays!!

 A day spent with the whole family at Lake Tahoe

 We got the fun part of the tree trimming. Hauling the limbs to the burn pile.

 The color fun.  A fun run, or fun to watch as was my case.

 What is summertime without a baseball game followed by fireworks?

 Playing with the new horseshoe pit in our backyard.

 My craftroom is almost finished. It was the last room to be painted.

I am loving the color!!

Family Game time at the Kenley Family Reunion.

Backyard Fire

J came down and spent the weekend with us.  Had lots of fun...

April Flowers

These are long gone flowers. Here it is May and I actually have no flowers.  But these were beautiful while they lasted.  Maybe I can get to the store this weekend and get more. I need color in my yard. We were the only ones on the block with so many flowers. A couple of houses had a clump of 5-6 but that was it. I loved my tulips and daffodils!!!
