Painted Dining room.

Remember my dining room when we first moved into this house? The Picnic Basket room? Ring a bell? Well, I have finally painted the room! Only took me nearly 8 months to finish it. I still need to get baseboards and paint them white and nail them to the wall. BUT STILL, IT IS FINALLY PAINTED! The color is called Harmonious Cream.

Update.

The boys were out of school on Friday and out this Monday aswell. A four day weekend. Derrick has been working long days, and was informed that they were working Saturday and Sunday aswell. He was able to come to the first part of church and leave right after he took the sacrament. He and I are both tired I think.

Friday, I took the boys to a fun indoor swimming place called Adventure Island. It had a lazy river, small water slides, and zero depth area. Hazel really enjoyed walking around in the water. The boys spent most of their time in the lazy river.

Tuesday is a free zoo day and I am tempted to keep the boys out of school just to go to that. Chances are though, that I will just have them go to school.

There are no new pictures to post. I might just paint my dining room and kitchen a cream color since I can't decide on anything fun.

Oregon Trip

We took a trip to Oregon to attend Derrick's mothers funeral. She was in a car accident and died January 17. We will miss her greatly. We had a really nice time visiting and reconnecting with all of Derricks brothers and sisters and cousins and other family. The drive was 16 hours there and 20 hours back due to snow and ice on the road the ENTIRE way back. The kids were real troopers. We were able to visit my sister Stephanie on the way there, and my sister Jenni on the way back. My parents and my sister Alissa met us in Oregon and attended the funeral with us. I loved seeing them and their presence was comforting to our family.

Here is a picture of the kids with Stephanie.
