David had to go back to school the second week of August, there wasn't too much time to get things done.
After I painted the curious, I got some antique brackets off ebay and made a shelf to go across them...
While David and I are measuring, stud finding, and marking....Hayden is doing this...
picking off the wall! David says he gets it from
me. Oh Hayden. But seriously, I am a picker.
Shelf up.
While I was outside spray painting picture frames, David lowered the curtains, for the 3rd time. Measure once, cut thrice. Right?
Haha, yes, we still have bunny ears. We were going to build a table for the TV, but since we still have to have the antennae it wouldn't fit, so we just left it on our coffee table for now.
We went to wheeler farm.
Hayden always tells me that his favorite animal is a sheep.
I love this little scuby body shirt of Preston's, so cute.
Katie and her cows. If my mom sees anything cow, she makes sure to get it for Katie. Katie is building a nice collection of bovine.
I love the goats! David says they creep him out. David is not a farm boy.
The boys love every big truck/tractor! They are obsessed with the garbage man and have a standing appointment every Monday on the front step, watching the garbage man go up and down our street.
Working on "the dance floor"
If there are tools involved, you can been assured that Preston is not far away. He can smell out a tape measure a mile away.
We hiked Donut Falls.
...in our matching Aggie Shirts.
The boys did great on the hike. Hayden loved scampering up the rocks.
On our way down the canyon, we stopped for a picnic. And frozen. It's okay, the cold never bothered us anyway.
We went to Cabela's.....and waited an hour to see them feed the fish. I'm sorry to say, the fish went hungry that night.
The bandaid on Hayden's head? ...he said it made him feel better
When we are outside, I often get this look...
....followed by this!
haha, love my boys. I've been chased by them with the hose at least once a week this summer.
Another painting project.
I love this mirror that we got from our old neighbor's, for $5! but I'd been wanting to paint it white since I got it. Since I paint everything white.
It took me longer to tape the mirror than to paint it!
...so while I painted the mirror out in the garage, the boys patched and painted the wall that Hayden picked.
An extra exciting thing...a pumper truck. If you thought that we stayed on the porch and watched it for over an hour...you'd be right
We finally made it to Albion Basin to hike to Cecret Lake, on the last day of summer.
We were a week or two late for the millions of blooms, but it was still beautiful.
Lunch at the top.
Never miss a selfie-op
David couldn't be in our picture because of that hat.
Our garden flourished. We've had an ample supply or crookneck, and just recently tomatoes.
...and we
flooded. Not as bad as our neighbors. But enough to get the only finished room in our basement all wet. It's been a month now, and the laminate hasn't stunk...so it might be okay. We still need to repaint.
And we had the best fishing of our lives!
The boys and I went up to UintaLands with my parents to check on things and get new pictures to put it up for sale. On the way back, we stopped at Butterfly Lake, got the perfect spot, and couldn't stop reeling them in!
It was freezing....and raining....and snowing.
But there was no way we were going to leave the best fishing we'd had in years. Like 28 years.
Soaking wet Selfie. Granny has had that coat for 28 years.
David put up an extra self in each of our closets. It is so handy. Finally we are cleaning our room so it won't be like the "junk drawer" of our house.
And we hiked the Moose Loop.
Yes, wearing our Aggie Shirt. We only wear Aggie Shirts.
