Dino Park

 Baby Dax even came along! (I babysit him and his older brother full time)

We had a day off from Summer Camp and I didn't have Carson so we drove up to Ogden to visit the Dinosaur Museum. Austin wanted to leave within 30 seconds (it took me an hour to get there!!) Sometimes the dinosaurs "roar" and that totally freaked him out. He covered his ears and wouldn't put them down. I even had to feed him his sandwich and he ate his frys off of the ground. Finally he realized they weren't real and we were able to have a nice day.

Sunday Treat

We saw this hot air balloon going through our neighborhood. I thought I missed out on the photo opportunity since it landed in a field and deflated, but by chance I decided to pull over and let the kids watch it and it took off again and this time I was ready!
The last picture was taken from my front porch! I love the views out here!!!!

 The horse picture was taken when it was getting dark so I set my camera to a really high ISO and it still turned out great!!! (It was taken at the same time that I took the sunset which was right across the street!)

 I'm thinking about blowing this one up and hanging it in my house. Still haven't decided.

Sorry! I can't stop!

End Table Re-do

 BEFORE:

 Ewe...not liking the top at all now!! When I get some more motivation I will spray it oil-rubbed bronze.

After doing my other white table, I now want all my furniture like this! So I am re-doing everything. Just kidding. I want to though. So on this one I painted it white (duh) and spray painted the hardware an oil-rubbed bronze. Now I want the top that color. I'm still not happy with it!! But I like it better white. It goes better with my stuff. Now my TV stand sticks out...and not in a good way, but David won't let me paint it again. (although he does agree with me that I should of painted it white in the first place!)

Cabinet From DI

 My latest from DI! I had several people at the store asking me what it was and if they could see it. Sure but back off cuz its mine!!! I snagged it for $15. A little pricey for DI, but its all wood.

 So I did one coat of walnut stain and changed out the knobs.

 This watering can is my favorite thing in my house right now (with lilacs from my garden!)

Right now I'm just using it to store knick knacks from DI that I don't know what to do with yet.

Bird in Backyard

I've been seeing this little guy lately and he finally stopped long enough to pose. I took it through the window so its not very clear...or maybe thats my camera...we'll blame it on the camera.

Memorial Day Weekend

 Yes the Cheney's finally own a tent!  David says camping for him is staying at a 4 star resort instead of a 5 star...so no camping for the Cheney's!  We bought them a tent and they stayed up all night playing and eventually fell asleep. (We of course dragged them out around midnight because we didn't want them sleeping out there since we weren't right their with them)

We  took  Austin to the races on Saturday thinking he would love it since he loves to watch it on TV. But it was way too loud and he just covered his ears the whole time. I managed to get a smile when we took him to the museum.
It was yucky weather on Monday so david went into work and I took the kids to Kangaroo Zoo. So sick of the weather!!!

Lilacs and Tulips

Hard Saying Good-Bye

Normally your kids are excited on the last day of school, but not when you have a teacher like Miss Karma!  Addie's class had a hard time when it was time to leave (a lot of the kids were SOBBING!!! I am NOT exaggerating!! )  Miss Karma really puts in her heart and soul with her teaching. AT the end of the year she makes them each a book with all of their reports, artwork, and pictures. (Their were at least 10 individual pictures of Addie,  all posed for whatever party or holiday they were doing that day.)  Addie will miss having her as a teacher. Austin starts Miss Karma's summer school next Tuesday. Its for 6 weeks, Mon-Thurs from 8:30-12pm all for a whoppin $15 (she's finally raised her prices! When Addie went it was $10! )
