Crazy Idea???

So, I have been thinking about re-decorating my room for awhile. I didn't really want to spend any money, so I thought, I will just switch bedspreads with the guest bedroom and see if that gives both rooms a new look. Well, it did, but then I was at Costco and found the cutest brown and blue towels...and yes, it lead to a whole new look!

BEFORE...

and... AFTER

Am I crazy...a blue wall??? I was going to paint the wall chocolate brown, but with the brown drapes and the dark bedspread, I didn't want to feel like I was living in a dungeon, so hence the reason for the color blue. I promise that it looks better in person. I would love to hear your comments...good choice...bad choice? Many thanks to my sister Kristi for going shopping to a million different stores...and to my brother Tyler and Sister-in-law Nikki for your fabulous paint job!

Happy 4th of July!!

My parents came down from Montana to spend the weekend with their 3 children that still reside in the state of Utah vs. the other 4 that live in Arizona, New Hampshire, Virginia and Florida.

On Friday, we had fun spending the day at the Gateway.

Kristi had recently purchased a yearly pass to DiscoveryKids, so we let Addy play their for a while. It actually is a pretty cool place for kids and there is so much for them to do.



The visit to the Gateway would not have been complete if we hadn't let Addy run through the water. She absolutely LOVED every minute!!

We went to lunch and ended the day with an ice-cream cone! Perfect for a hot summer day.

The morning of the fourth of July. Yes, Kristi, you are a nerd for making your family wear matching shirts from Old Navy...he! he!

I don't have any photos, but we also had fun going to movies (i.e., My Sisters Keeper - tear jerker!, The Proposal - loved it!) and having a BBQ and playing games. Yes, of course the momster won at 5 crowns...Jen, where were you to hold your title??? Thanks Mom and Dad for spending the weekend with us!
