ksl Rocks!

I decided we needed a coffee table in our living room. My kids and hubby are always taking snacks and food in there to watch t.v. (it drives me nuts). I don't mind an occasional special night when we put a blanket down and have pizza and movie.............but my family seems to think anytime they want is a special occasion. They are constantly taking food in there. Since we are living at my parent's house..........I am trying my best to keep my mom's carpet clean and stain free. My family is not exactly helping. So.........I decided to move an area rug into the living room and add a coffee table in hopes that the rug would catch any food droppings and the coffee table would help keep food off the floor. I looked at D.I. for a coffee table but didn't see anything with potential and they all started at $35. So I looked on ksl.com..........................I love ksl.com! I found this awesome table for $20! My awesome hubby picked it up in Farmington for me, and bought my spray paint for me (I can't stand oak, I paint anything oak!). So I painted the table black, and I am so happy how it turned out! p.s. don't mind the silly children and messy room.

1st Tooth

Like a week ago S had her blanket in her mouth and she yanked on it......well it loosened one of her bottom front teeth. I looked up online and found that if we left it alone it might tighten back up, since she really isn't at the age yet to be losing teeth. So I told her to leave it alone......bad idea........she kept loosening it. She got some candy at church today, she was eating her sucker a few minutes ago and came into me crying. She had bit her sucker........................finally I got her calm enough to find out she was crying because it had hurt her loose tooth. So I looked at it and sure enough it was looking like it was going to come out. So, I asked her if she wanted me to pull it....she did. So S is 4 1/2 and just lost her first tooth, yes it is early.............oh well, eventually her adult tooth will grow in..........although it may be a while! I have to admit her toothless smile is pretty cute!

Finally hot enough!

The last week and a half its finally got hot enough to enjoy our little pool! Yeaaa!! B and I have even gotten in a couple of times with the kids. The kids are having fun swimming and relaxing a lot in the water, which was both the goals of getting the pool in the first place........mission being accomplished!! If you look close you can even see the little orange ball going through the hoop! Nice shot Z!

Scout Rocket

Last night was Pack mtg. at Scouts. The boys all made these 2 liter rockets and then got to launch them a couple of times. They went so high, it was more fun than fireworks to watch!

Summer Fun

We decided to get the kids a pool for the summer. I needed something for them to do, and I want Z to relax a little in the water (he still is quite scared). My parent's have an awesome deck, (that my handsome hubby built) that is perfect to have the pool on. So far this summer has been uncommonly cold and rainy so we have only been able to use it a couple of times. The water you see is from the most recent rain storm. Hopefully it will warm up enough soon to use it a lot more!

Crocheted Hershey Kiss

I crocheted this for M's preschool teacher as a thank you. It turned out pretty cute. I think I am going to make some more, like a bigger one for my kitchen since I decorate in m&m and hershey.
