June

Oh they say when you marry in June....

Justin and I celebrated our 4th anniversary this month. I can't believe its been 4 wonderful and amazing years! I can't believe how in love I still am with the boy. He is the greatest! I was suprised with some BeAuTiFuL RoSeS at work (I'm one lucky girl!). We decided to go stay at the Alaskan Inn for our anniversary. We ate at the Timber Mine, then the next day did some Home Depot shopping to get stuff for a few projects.

Our Cabin at the Alaskan Inn

We built and planted a garden! This is our first year, and some things look good, others...... But its been fun to try. This picture is a week or two old, but you can see that we have a few things growing! Its been in for about a month and the carrots have yet to come up.... but the summer squash, winter squash, zucchini, peas, radishes, lettuce, spinich, and onions all have. I don't know if the spinich and lettuce will make it or not, but we shall see!

Everything is bigger now, but I'm just excited there is some green!

We had 2 birthday bashes in 1 day for Kyce and Brylan. Here are the quilts I made for the little kiddos. I loved the way they both turned out!

We had a few boards left over from the garden, so we decided to make a flower garden in the back yard (the front one still has to be finished so don't drive by to see it :)) Its kinda nice to have a little piece of heaven in the back yard.

Lets see... what else ( I have to go through my pictures to see what we've been up to).

We went for a ride up in the mountains with Jim, Celeste, McKayla, and Brylan, to go and see the water levels. It was pretty crazy to see all the water coming over the spill way. Here are some pics of the mountains, and the flooded fort!

They came into Sunday School in church on Sunday, and released all the men from their next class to go and sandbag for the fort. It was different, I can't ever remembering them do anything like that before. So all the dads would come into Primary and hand the mom's the keys, making the kids really really wiggly (they knew something was up). We all kinda felt like the pioneers when the men In the Mormon Batallion left. We were left with all these kids who didn't understand what was going on! But we made it through (after getting after them to be reverant) and we survived.

The Fort

Oh, I finished my cake decorating class the past week also. Here was our final project! I love fondant! It is so much fun to work with! 

My Final Project! :)

I'm going to try and blog more, but we will see. Justin started 14 days off today. I'm so excited! We have so many projects to finish! We also have a family reunion, and hopefully a trip to Lagoon in a few weeks. I have 10 days off starting the later part of next week, so we'd better be getting these projects done!

I've been trying to start running too... we will see how this goes!

For Real...

I do have a new post.... under this one... it just didn't show up on everyones link!

Updated... Finally!

I guess I'd better try updating the blog today, because I don't see having any time the rest of the week. The weather has been awful!!! I guess that has been good, since we have been couped up in the house, trying to finish up the painting. This last room has taken us forever... and while the painting is done, we still have more to do. I love the way the blue warmed up the room!

 I think that the tile around the fireplace will need replaced this fall.... so I'm thinking of putting up some glass tile like this....

I think it will look good... but fall is a ways away yet.

I'm keeping busy with my new calling... First counselor in the Primary Presidency. When I mentioned Prayers before... this is the answer! Where kids seem hard to come by... this helps to make up for the lack of kids in our lives. Its been fun, but has been keeping me pretty busy! I did my first sharing time last week, it went pretty well, and now I'm alot less nervous!

I've been taking a cake decorating class. It has been so much fun, and I'm learning a ton! I've always been nervous to bake a cake (for fear of letting it fall...) let alone, taking it out of the pan, icing it, and learning to make flowers :) My camera is not that great... so sorry for the dark pictures.

Week two, we used piping gel, and the cakes turned
out so cute!

Week one-- no rhyme or reason to the cake, just playin with borders and leaves

Next week, we are doing more flowers, and starting with gumpaste and fondant! I've been watching cake boss.... so hopefully I can become really good!

Sunday my little brother graduated from Seminary... and this Friday, from High School. I'm having a hard time letting him go, he is my only little brother. He spoke at Seminary Graduation, and it was amazing! I can't believe how much older he is now, than when I lived at home. I'm not sure that I like it, but I guess I can't stop it! I have all the Graduation presents made and almost ready, except for his. What do you get a boy that is going on a mission in a year?

Girl Graduation gifts (minus the money :))

In Honor of my brother... His graduation announcement!

Prayers

Prayers were answered today! Sometimes, its not the way you think they will be answered, but they are answered. When I look at all the bessings and answers I recieve from my Heavenly Father... I am amazed.
Thank you!

While He was Working...

So, I made a fun bag for myself on Sunday while my hubby was working. I'm excited at how it turned out!
