Harvest Moon Hurrah!

This weekend our City held the 3rd Annual Harvest Moon Hurrah. It was a lot of fun. They have pony rides and hayrides and fun activities for little kids. They have dinner that is $1 per person and some entertainment too. We went last year and had fun so this year we didn't want to miss it. All the activities were free you just had to wait in line. We waited in line for the pony rides for like 20 minutes and then Katelin didn't want to ride the little pony when we got up there. oh well! We still had fun.

A TRIP TO THE PUMPKIN PATCH!

FACE LIFT!

So This probably isn't that impressive, but I was happy with the results. I wanted to get some bookcases to go on either side of my fire place. I found these matching cabinets at a yard sale and bought them for 5 bucks each. They obviously needed a little face lift so I got out my favorite can of Spray Paint and worked my magic...

IT is amazing what a little paint can do!

HIDDEN BEAUTY!!

As some of you know, Clay and I bought his Grandparents old house in March. We just love it and think it is such a cute little house. However there was one thing that I just couldn't get over... When you first enter our house there is this big beautiful room, but it has the most "unusual" green carpet you have ever seen. I am sure that color carpet would have been popular in it's day, but well it wasn't working for me. I tried everything that I could think of to make it look like I did it on purpose, I got a really big rug that kind of went with the color and then I accented the room with pillows that matched,


BUT I COULD NEVER LOVE IT!!!!
I realized there was wood floor under the carpet, but I didn't know what kind of shape it was in. So One day when Clay wasn't home to stop me, I pulled up all this UGLY green and discovered the most beautiful hard wood floor!!! It has taken a while but this week Clay and I just finished refinishing our floor!!!!

OK THIS IS BEFORE...



AND NOW!!!!

What do you think? Is it an improvement?

WELL I LOVE IT!

Now I can't wait to put my new furniture in it!

TAG I'M IT!!

1) Ten years ago I was 17 and a Junior in high school. About October ten years ago I went to a party where I met some of my best friends who changed my life. They were great examples and we really had lots of good times and if I hadn't have met them I may never have met Clay.

3) One year ago I was trying to decide what my little baby girl would be wearing for her first Halloween.

Katelin got a hold of a marker when I wasn't looking. Who does she remind you of?

GIRLS, GIRLS, GIRLS!!

Today I was made the 1st counselor in the young womens. I was actually also released today from being the Laural advisor. (THANK HEAVENS!!) I love my sweet laurals, but they were just a handful and well quite frankly I am thankful to have a little less drama in my life. Katelin is already drama queen of the world, but try adding 10 more to my list and well Crazy defines it pretty good. You probably are thinking oh they can't be that bad, but well maybe I should share a story about the joys of being a young women leader in my ward. For Stake Youth Conference we spent some time up at the State Hospital in Provo playing on the ropes course. That was really awesome and we had a lot of fun, but I think some of us had more fun than others... There was a fountain just up the hill not hidden or anything but a little out of the way and We had a couple of our girls who decided that it would be fun to go for a swim. So they stripped down to their underwear and went for a little dip!! Maybe I am a prude but we were in mixed company and with the stake. I was so mortified! I guess their parents didn't think that it was that big of deal the general response from them is girls will be girls!! However if it had been me I think my butt would still be aching from the kick in pants I would have gotten. Oh well it turned out OK we took the girls the next day to Snow College and we had a blast there. We played water games and had firesides and a dance. It has been a couple months but I still have people from all over town asking me about the girls in our ward that they heard about who took a swim in their panties at the MENTAL HOSPITAL ! This is just a small portion of the excitement I have experienced with my Laurals. What can I say, I love them and I hope that their new leader can help them keep THEIR CLOTHES ON!!!!
