OUR EXTREMELY BUSY JULY

This month has been crazy busy! But before I get into

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 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...

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.

The leaf..........

To celebrate my B-day, we went up the mountain & had bb-q turkey & dutch oven with my family.
