For fun

So the beginning of last week Adam went to scout camp for 3 days and left me by myself :( It wasn't really horrible by any means, but still lame of course. There was only one moment of complete chaos :) Other than that, we survived!
Since William was showing signs of fear of big pools, I took it upon myself to get him to like them again and we went twice to the fitness center while Adam was gone, and voila! William loves the pool now! This was after we were done.

Chloe was a champ and slept while we swam :)
And we've been enjoying our yard! Grass glorious GRASS!!! William always wants to go outside and play nowdays. We have a little pool set up and he has been having so much fun with it.

And our garden is thriving :) Growing broccoli, green beans, carrots, squash, cucumber, pumpkins, tomatoes, watermelon, and cilantro. (well the watermelon isn't thriving so much actually).

And here is our lovely porch, just for fun. We planted a Mum in our pot :)

Oh, and someone gave us a Wubanub binky thing and so far Chloe is liking it. (it's attached to an animal to help it stay in a baby's mouth.)

And just so every one knows (who're coming for Chloe's blessing, we're going to do a little celebration for William's B-day on the 3rd (since that's his birthday! :) ) So Look forward to some cake or something :) So excited to see so much family at our little place in just a few weeks!

The 4th (and other stuff)

Well after family left and we had a week as a new family alone, we did pretty well! It was fun to get a routine going and feel out a new normal. Of course, Adam continued doing projects (because there's no stopping him), and he finished the closet he un-earthed. Added some walls, shelves and paint and carpet and Voila! Another place to store random stuff :)


Then, My family all came up to visit again for the 4th, only this time my sister Michelle and her family got to come! So fun to have family over, and William LOVES his cousins. Wish we lived closer to them!
We went to the Pocatello 4th of July parade (nothing too wonderful about that. William was scared of the loud horns and such), we went to the Poky Zoo (where William was scared of bears, but petted goats like it was nothing lol), and we went swimming at their hotel (where William was freaked out by how loud and echoy it was in there and all the splashing etc). We did fireworks too. William was already asleep, but I'm sure if we woke him up for it, he would have been scared. Basically the theme was: William was scared of everything. LOL. But we still had lots of fun (even though I didn't take enough pictures :(

Oh, and we gave Chloe a blessing dress fitting. I made it thinking she would be two weeks old when we blessed her, but plans have changed... Hope it still fits her next month!!! (still need to add the sleeves)

Oh, and of course Dad and Adam had to do/ start another project while they were here...
Bathroom counter and sink before (reminds me of your grandma's creepy basement bathroom type of feel...):

And the counter top after (they found it at DI for 40 bucks!):

We'll post the whole bathroom makeover when that gets done (which, knowing Adam, will be soon-ish)
But it really was an awesome weekend and we had so much fun!
