what we've been up to this month, I thought I'd post some pics of our house & yard. When we bought this house 3 yrs ago, we really didn't know quite what to do with the extra large, weed-infested flower beds. Knowing it would cost too much to fill with flowers & shrubs, we found a way to fill them, low cost. The front of our home, we planted pumpkins & squash. (the flowerbeds are MUCH larger than this pic shows!
We already have pumpkins growing like crazy....
This year I tried something new with the little flower bed by the driveway. I bought a box of wild flower seeds. I watered them like crazy, and for the longest time, they just looked like weeds. When they started blooming, I was over-joyed! So if anyone has a flower bed that they don't know what to do with, I highly recommend trying this wild flower mix. I think it gives a yard a nice "country cottage" look. I got them at walmart...

Brandon took 3 wks off work, starting the end of June. We went on two camping trips during that time. From june 29-July 2nd, Brandon and I took a mini vacation to Park City. It was so much fun & nice to get away without kids for a few days. Sadly, I forgot the camera :(
We had a wonderful 4th of July celebration with family. Again....I didn't take picures:(
We Celebrated my 24th Birthday on the 11th.
Brandon surprised me with this AWESOME gift!!!! It extends larger than the pic shows( leaf) and I have two more chairs coming.......it will be so great to have six chairs!! This table fits up to eight chairs.......I think I know what I'm going to ask for, for christmas;)
These pics are in my living room. My other table & chairs were still in my kitchen when these photos were taken.

We also went to a Bee's game. Grandpa Bailey bought Andy a Bee's hat & he got it signed by bumble.(the mascot) And, you guessed it. I yet again....forgot the camera:(
Brandon played in the Lamb Days mens softball tourny, and won the tournament!
We also went to the Ute Stampede. Brandon won these large, unattractive stuffed animals by making baskets...
