It has been a very crazy and busy couple of weeks for us, and I still haven't figured out everything that we have done! I have determined that it is probably a blessing that I can't remember everything! Some of the things we have done is we finished the attic above the garage and gained a whole bunch of new storage space! I have been going through the house and organizing and dejunking it - and now that I am almost done it feels so good! We also had our very first set of stitches for the boys. I 'm sure it won't be our last! Joel was a trooper!He tripped on the garbage can lid and hit his cheek against the trailer. He loved that he got Lightning McQueen band aids!
This last weekend our family and Mike's brother's family took a trip up to Challis to visit a possible location for a DVD machine and while there took a side trip to Bonanza and Custer (Ghost towns) and saw an old Gold Dredge. We had a fun time, and I learned why they say not to travel long distances in the car while very pregnant! My feet were swollen to about double there size by the time we got home. I looked like a hobbit! However, we all had fun and Joel keeps talking about camping up by the stamp mill. Here are some pictures of our little day trip!
The rule after this is ONE rock to take home!
We don't have to have that rule with Conner -- he just likes to throw them!
All the kids by the Gold Dredge -- the rocks were way more interesting than any ol' camera!
Panning for Gold!
Mike, Joel and Conner with there finds! Mike got one little flake and Joel found 2!
Learning about school in the olden days!
And best friends for the moment!
We had a lot of fun and we hope to go back again. I though I would also put up a couple pictures of baby Lilah's room that I think I officially finished today! (if Mike were to read this I'm sure he would laugh really hard!) I will add more pictures later but I was really pleased with the way the wall turned out! I had this frame and after browsing through the pottery barn catalog saw an idea to make paper flowers and put them on the wall! Tadaa! Combined the two and we have a branch with paper flowers coming out of a window frame! I painted the branch on, found a tutorial on making 4D flowers on u-tube, and set out to have fun! I like the way it turned out!
So hopefully we can fill the last month with a little more fun -- without much driving ;) before we are stuck at home a little more with a sweet new bundle to cuddle!
