CRAZY Summer

WOW! This summer has gone by soooo fast. I can't believe the 4th of July is over and now we are about half way done with July.

Stewart and I have been busy working on the house. We got the sprinklers and grass put in. We also put shelves in the garage and have been constantly working on organizing it. We also sealed the posts on our front porch. We were told if you don't do this then over the years each post will start to fade different and they will all have a different color. Yuck!! We have had so much fun working on our home. We did try to get a garden going, but with all of the rain we have had and the constant watering we have been doing to the grass, the garden is no longer there. I seriously think it has flooded many times. So next year that will be our goal. This weekend we are going to try to get started on our retaining wall we have to put on the side of the house. Because of they way our neighbor's lot sits we have to put one up. Again, with all of the water we have gotten that side of the house gets hit the worse, and the ground has settled many times. This wont be fun, but we have to do it or our basement will flood.!!

We have also had fun with our cat this summer. She is so much fun and keeps us entertained!! We went to Boise for the 4th and had fun seeing family and playing in my parents pool. I also got brave and took the whole top off of the jeep. I realized that I have not taken the top off in almost five years!! It has been fun driving the jeep around. I feel like I have a new car!!

Our summer has been nice and we have had fun getting stuff done around the house.



A couple of weeks ago I made spaghetti! Can you tell it was a hit at our house!!!
