Exterior all painted and the shutters up!
Accent wall in the living room: Balsam Fir
Horrible picture due to strange lighting; Bedroom #2 with a Hazel accent wall
And Bedroom #1, just an "Accessible Beige" all the way around with a white trim.
BO HNTR is no more! We got Idaho license plates. Living in Idaho is nice, our car insurance has been cut in half!
We got a fishing boat! Just a tin can with a motor, but it gets us to the middle of the lake.
Sprucing up the seats- covered the chipped wood with outdoor carpet.
Had a cake bake-off.
Giulia- butter pecan. David- Strawberry delight.
David's won. It was so so so moist. Mine was delish as well. It's just that David's had that, "I could eat this all day because it is so moist" factor in his cake. No big deal. (cough, he used a super moist box cake, cough, mine was all from scratch, cough)
Our friend at work
This is what the lake looks like coming in from Montana
We went to the Young Reunion July 4-6 at the Little Bear River Resort in Northern, Utah. We got off work at 7 p.m. on the 4th, got home (to Jean and Colin's) and climbed up on the roof to try to watch fireworks, but couldn't see much cause the neighbor's trees are just so dang tall! We headed down to Logan, UT the next morning for lots of fun and games with family.
These are the only two pictures we have from that: we went to Porcupine Res. and did some cliff jumping.
Last week we slipped and slid at the best slip'n'slide evah! (at Uncle John and Aunt Julie's house). So soo so fun. 150 ft. of wet'n'wild goodness. It's all dammed up with inner tubes at the bottom so you always get a nice splash at the end to slow you down.
The next day we went to an Ice Cave with Chris and Shelly and kids
First, you hike down into a lava rock pit and then under this arch.
And then down into this cave mouth. The opening wasn't frozen over (it is summertime) so we had to tip toe from rock to rock so we didn't get our feet wet. 
And eventually you find this! Ice thick by the foot
Complete with an ice slide
Awful photo for almost everybody, except David, of course. And Shelly too! This was at the beginning of the cave. The deeper you go, the more ice there is, top to bottom.
I finally finished my first crochet blanket! I spent a couple of hours on it each day while at work waiting for boats to come in.
David:
I mean, David's twin. Chris sent this pic to us- an ad for Gillette from a Field and Stream magazine. laughing.out.loud. I've always told David that he could go into modeling. For Cabela's, or Bass Pro- he's got the rugged outdoorsy man look about him, and now apparently, I can add Gillette to the list.
Finally took the boat out for its maiden voyage with its new owners.
Fish on!!!
David protects Colin and Jean's strawberries from the birds...in style. Just warning shots (mostly), people. Don't go all gun crazy on me. (It's a pellet gun. )
And also, my parents got in yesterday with a trailer full of tools and flooring!!!! Hip hip hooray! Things have been slow on the house project the last week because there wasn't much left for us to do without Dad's tools, materials, and noggin' full of knowledge.
pretty wood floors
demolishing a kitchen: taking out cabinets and nasty pantry. And look at that darling original wallpaper circa '70.
Tiling bathroom (Jean and Colin had leftover tile from tiling their house years ago and said we could use some for our tiny bathrooms. woohoo!)
We're excited to see what the house will look like by the end of this week. We're hoping to have the kitchen, laundry...closet, and bathroom painted; new(old) kitchen cabinets installed; wood floors laid down; and then just waiting for carpet to come in. Woooza
