Project Done

Okay so moving into a new place we would like to upgrade some of our stuff, mostly to make it all match. So we decided that the entertainment center needed a face lift. I really liked the natural wood color that it had, but ever since Brandon and Nathan decorated it with fingernail polish, it just hasn't been the same. So with the help of my cousin Amy, she helped me decide what I should do with it. So we (Travis and I) painted it black. The first coat we put on wasn't "black" enough. You would think all black is black but no. So I went and got another type of black and it looked much better. So it got two coats. We haven't decided if we wanted to destress it or not, but after putting the doors back on and the tv in, it got scratched a little, so we might end up getting destressed, but for now it is done. One project can be checked off the list.

24th of July Fun

On the 24th this month we decided to go to a parade in Mapleton. We watched a little parade with Grandma and Grandpa Walker, Uncle Derick and Aunt Rose, and Aunt Melissa and her family. Daddy unfortunately was at work (something about it is only a holiday in Utah). The boys had a great time! The loved that people were throwing candy. They would run into the street and grab some, and then run down the ways from us and get all the candy they could grab. Thankfully it was only elderly people that were sitting next to us so they didn't mind that my boys were grabbing their candy.

After the parade we went to the park there and played games. The boys had a lot of fun, although it was extremely hot and there were tons of people there. We waited in lines that were about 20 minutes long! They had big blow up slides that they wanted to go down. Brandon loved them but Nathan once he found out that they were a little hot he had nothing to do with them, even if he was at the top of the slide and refused to go down and came down the steps instead.

It was a fun day to celebrate the pioneers coming into Utah over a 100 years ago. Even though the boys didn't really understand why there was a parade or games I hope that this will become a tradition that we can continue and when they get to the point where they can understand things more we can talk about our pioneer history.

Spicy Chips

A long time thing in our house is the fact that Nathan and Daddy like spicy things while Brandon and Mommy don't like spicy things. Nathan keeps going on that Kimball likes spicy and tries to get him to eat spicy things, like his favorite chips. Doritos Sweet-Spicy Chips. We always save Kimball from being forced fed chips by Nathan, but today Nathan had a bag of his favorite chips and had them with him all over the house eating. He had finally left them in the hallway. Kimball found them while touring the house scrounging food (he is a bottomless pit). To my surprise he was sitting there eating the chips. It was towards the end of the bag so there were basically crumbs. He was enjoying himself nicely. I think that the chips are so hot so I got him some water to drink as well, but he didn't seem to want it. So Nathan has his wish and Kimball does like Spicy Chips. Nathan is so proud!

My Kimball is getting bigger and it is rather sad. He is my baby and all mothers don't want to their baby's to get older. Well Kimball has now decided that he no longer wants and breast milk from Mommy. I am so sad about this. I feel like I am being rejected. You never know this might be last baby. You never know! I just am so sad that he has decided that bottles are better than mom. But as the days go on, he is getting to be such a big boy. He can now climb up and down the stairs by himself. Such a big boy. And then he likes to play with cars! CARS! Just seems like he should be playing with baby toys, but nope he rather do what his brothers are doing and play with cars. Just growing up. One thing that he really likes now is computers. Another Travis in the making. So we got another keyboard out and let him play with it. He had a hay day! My baby is growing up.

A New Haircut!

I was getting tired of my long hair. It gets quite hot in the summer. So I decided that it was long enough that I could donate my locks and get a cute hair cut!

My friend Shannowa did a wonderful job and gave me a cute cut! I love it! It is nice and breezie! I am having a fun time trying to figure out all the different styles I can do. It is fun!
