Lake Powell!!

Two weeks ago we went on our annual Lake Powell trip with my family! It is always so much fun!! This year was a little different for me, being prego, but was still awesome!!

Matt and I floating... I did this A LOT!

Matt on the SkySki. My little bro has almost perfected a back flip!

Some of us girls reading in the tube. I also did this a lot!

This is the view from our houseboat. It was a great spot, shade on the boat all day and out of the way from the more popular places!!

Of course it wouldn't be a trip if Matt didn't catch some living thing, here is a toad.

The water was high enough to drive right up to the sand dunes. We haven't been able to do this for years! Matt tumbled down the hill, this is what he looked like when he got to the bottom!

It is a tradition to paint EVERYONE'S toes (boys included) and take a pic.

We had some family pics taken. They turned out really cute!!

Matt doing a back flip into the water.

We were here over Kaizley's 1st birthday, so to celebrate some of the boys jumped, dove, fell in to the water just for her. Matt is the cool swan dive on top!

My Latest Project

We got these chairs from a garage sale. They were not so cute and too tall. With help of my sister we redid them. Matt cut off the extra height.

We recovered the seats with this cute fabric.

I primed them and fixed some dents and dings.

My sister painted them.

Here is the final result. I really love them! They turned out really cute!!

OK, so I haven't blogged in a really long time...so here is the catch up of what has been going on. Warning there was lot of catching up to do. We got to move into our house last weekend. I am so glad to be in!! Here are some pics. It is so messy because we are still unpacking boxes, but I was excited to post some pics!!

This is it!! It turned out even more beautiful than I expected!!

This is part of the mud room. Our washer and dryer are in here as well as a "craft table".

A view from the dining room of the family/great room.

This is the back deck. It has a great view of the west mountains!!

This is my kitchen!

This is the entry way. I want to pain this room also...

This is the upstairs guest bathroom. It is basically the only clean and decorated room in the house! Matt even likes it!

This is half of the master closet. I don't have any good pics of the master bedroom so there aren't any. I love the closet!!

These are the master bath. There is no shower wall and door yet. They will be in next week. I love the tub!! It is so nice to relax in! There is a separate toilet room(not pictured). Paint will be coming to this part of the house soon!

I didn't put any pics of the nursery...because it is just white walls with nothing in there. We are going to start it soon, so I will post before and after pics!
