LAGOON......It's what FUN is!

So with all this work going on with the house, we decided we were in need of some serious fun! Both of us had been working from the time we got up till the time we went to bed either at our jobs or at the house. It was really starting to wear on us. So i looked on Craigslist and came across a great deal for Lagoon tickets and snatched them up as quick as i could. We had SUCH a great time and we laughed a lot and just had so much fun together! Cami, Chad's sister watched Carter while we took off for the day and it was a fabulous trip.

This poor camel had a sideways hump!
Lagoon A Beach...dont look at my bum!
Chad's favorite ride (and the one i hate the most) The Rocket. Don't worry we went on both Re-entry and Blast Off.


We decided to do something WILD and get tattoos...they are airbrushed of course, but Chad is really liking his! Good thing it only lasts 7 days!


WICKED was probly my favorite ride, but it only lasted like 2 seconds...hardly worth it to wait in line for 30-40 minutes!

The first ride we went on was Cliffhanger which I remembered being a GREAT ride, and it was, except for the fact that we got completely soaked and we were soggy for the rest of the day! Our shoes would make a "squashing" noise with every step and we left puddles every where we walked or sat....it was still a little chilly in the morning but i think we finally dried out by the afternoon!

OUR HOME

This is my soon to be massage room! there are 3 wall sconces in total and one ceiling mount light in the middle. and i have a dimmer switch on them!!

here's a picture of the 2 tone trim that me and chad worked on for 2 weeks! No one told m what a HUGE job it is! We just have a few doors left to paint so its almost done!

painting away!
I am SO happy with the tile and back splash work that Chad and his dad did! I absolutely love it! It seriously gives such a "homey" look to the house.

Our carpet was put in the other day too so all that is left is the plumbing and it will be done! I'm getting SO excited!

Wedding Weekend

Tony & Monserrat's Wedding weekend has came and went! For the most part things went very smoothly...except for Grandpa falling off the stage and breaking 5 ribs!! Poor guy!! The sealing was beautiful and the weather sorta cooperated. We got sprinkled on a little at Shoshone Falls durring the lunch but then the sun came out and it was good. The reception went smoothly as well and the chocolate fountain turned out better than when we tried it out at her shower. Glad they are married and happy. Congrats Tony & Monse!
Carter really picked up on walking and walked all over the gym while we were setting up and taking down! I can't believe he is walking!!!

Baumgartner Camping Trip

My family took off the last weekend in July and headed to our favorite camping spot...Baumgartner! We had so much fun and the weather was great! We floated the river and swam a lot and when we got cold we hopped in the super hot natural spring hot tub! Carter did surprisingly well and even got in the water too. We ate a ton of food as normal, and really enjoyed camping! i thought i would be more than ready to be home but i wanted to stay another day! Here's some pics from the trip.

Oh and here's the progress of our house. Painting and tile pics to come soon! it is all done!!!!

Rivercrest Picnic

We have made some amazing friends here at our Rivercrest Apartments and we are seriously going to miss everyone as they are moving away and going their separate ways. We are so lucky to have friends with the same values and goals as us. We appreciate you letting us into your hearts and you will forever be in our memories. I have never been in a place where i have cared about so many people or had so many friends that i genuinely enjoy being with. THANK YOU!

We all got together and had a BBQ at our wonderful Rivercrest patio and pool. I think about 9 couples showed up and eveyone brought yummy food along with them.


After we ate, it was SOOO hot, so we all jumped in the pool! It was a great evening!

The 4th

I'm a little slow, but thought i'd get our pictures up from the 4th of July. We had a great one! We started off the weekend at Hazelton Days with delicious food and fireworks! I think that night we ate 4 tamales, homemade frys, 1 fried twinkie (which i did NOT want, but chad made me and it was AMAZING!), 2 mangoes on a stick, and 2 drinks. UGH! We were so full but both of us are succers for fair food! Carter LOVED the mangoes and screamed through the fireworks. I finally had to just put him under the blanket and nurse him so he would calm down!

Then we headed out to Moore Idaho for Chad's family reunion for lots of dirtbiking, more fireworks, food, and 4 wheeling. It was a great weekend and Carter was able to stay on a decent schedule despite everything that was going on! It was his first time to really get to play with cousins and he loved it!
When we got home, of course we had to go check out our house and this is what we found. Today, it is painted with all the doors on (including the garage door) and ready for Chad & dad to lay tile!
