A girl and her shoes

This is how I found McKayla the other day...a true girl ;-)

Summer Projects

I thought I'd post some pictures of projects around the house for those family and friends who haven't been by in awhile. I have now painted all three bedrooms twice, but I'm happy with what we have now in each room :-). Todd has been such a trooper over the past three years with all of my house projects I want done and he's even willing to do more. I loooove him for this and I looove that he is sooo handy!!

New front post and railing (all done by Todd)

New front path lights
Master bedroom (after)- walls are a light green

Master Bedroom (after)-so much more airy and open

4th of July

We had a great 4th of July (it was McKayla's 1st). We went up to Malad, Idaho for the Buehler (Todd's mom's side) Family reunion and were happy to see that a ton of the family made it there. Our weekend was full of yummy BBQ food, 4wheeling & tubing down the creek at the Ranch, eating at the Dude Ranch, a huge scavenger hunt, duck races down the creek (the Malad river starts on the family ranch), wild life (vultures,badger,chipmunks,lots of cows, lots of bugs), Todd sleeping in the truck w/ Sadie while McKayla and I slept at his aunt's, Malad 4th of July parade & fireworks, a basketball game and more. It was so great to see family that we haven't seen in many years and to meet all the new family (little ones and new comers by marraige). McKayla loved playing with her cousins and she had a few firsts...petting a horse, crawling up stairs, standing on her own for a long time, getting her toenails painted and some fun treats.
