Painting the House

Our house was in desperate need of a paint job!  You could see it peeling in some areas, especially on the wall that catches all the wind, rain and snow.  At the beginning of summer True Value had an awesome paint sale, buy one gallon get one free.  So that is the beginning of a long summer for Kirk!  He did all the work himself, with just a tiny bit of help from us. Here is a before picture...


Kirk had to powerwash the entire house.

Then he had to scrape and caulk the whole thing too, especially this wall.  Here he is taking a break.  I saw him out the kitchen window and I came out to take a picture and make sure he wasn't asleep up there!

 And here is the 'almost' finished product.  Looks so much better! Kirk spent a lot of time on this and his hard work paid off!  Hopefully it wont be as attractive to the extremely annoying box elder bugs that like light colored buildings in the fall and spring for the warmth that is reflected from the sun.


Now it is time to paint the front door!!

Rylee's 3!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RYLEE!!! My little guy is 3 now. The plan was to try and take Rylee to the zoo for his day but that didn't work out for this weekend anyway. So his birthday happened to fall on a day that was being celebrated by the whole town for Hayden Daze and we went to that instead. They jumped in the inflatables and Dylan got his face painted. Rylee just did not have the patience to stand in line long enough to get his done. What can you expect? He's only 3 :) They played on the slip and slides and Dylan got to do some rock climbing We had planned to have a little party for Rylee with some friends. But since they couldn't make it we decided to just make it fun with just our family. First Balloons!! And boy, did they have fun :) Rolling around in them, trying to pop them by squishing them in a big hug and we cant leave out the big bellies and boobs! Then he opened his presents, played with them and we ate cake! After all that fun we finished the night off with a funny...

It's Our 11th Anniversary!!

Oh my, does time fly. It's pretty weird to think that we have been married for 11 years. I don't think we feel old enough for that much time to have gone by, but we will continue to grow old and wrinkly together forever! Happy Anniversary to US!! Kirk and Camilla on our wedding day.... No we didn't have a big fancy wedding but we were there together and with our family and friends and enjoyed ourselves, that's all that matters! A couple more pic's of us together throughout the years.... 2002 Somewhere between 2003-2004 2007 2008

Indoor Playground

Who needs to play outside when the playgound is right here in the house! We have a couple mattresses that used to be for Dylan's bunkbed that have apparently turned into a slide and trampoline. I'm thinking this looks like alot of fun and I have been tempted to try it out for myself, but I'm pretty sure I would look alot less graceful then they do :) Don't mind the multicolored walls.....we ran out of paint in the middle of the job.
