The Green Grass Grows All Around

Don't worry mother nature helped out with a little snow and tons of rain to really draw out the project.
Look what we made. It still sits empty but someday it will have gorgeous plant-life of some kind.
Sorry for the blur. I cannot take pictures. We worked all day Friday to get the yard looking primo for sod. We were pretty happy with the results.
After a sleepless night (well not exactly--Jason and I were as excited as school girls and we couldn't fall asleep) bright and early Saturday morning this beautiful machine showed up.

For those of you that were wondering, yes the sprinklers work.
I was sitting outside this afternoon and this is what I saw. It is so beautifully green.
The new and improved abode. Now to enjoy all summer long!

Locks and locks of Love

I've been wanting to donate my hair to Locks of Love forever and I finally decided I was ready.
Really long, huh? And also not so much of a straight line, sorry.
They cut about 12 inches off and I still had this much left. I wish I could see the finished product of what happens to this hair.
The new look!
I love it! 1) Because it is so different than what I've had for like the last 3 years, 2) because I live in like the windiest city ever and short hair is much more pleasant than ridiculously long hair and 3) it looks good!

Some Recent Tidbits

Remember the pictures and ambitions of re-upholstering the recliner...well here is the final product. It sat in 2 or 3 different rooms of our house in pieces until finally it ended here.
The last time we went to the store, Navie pulled a can of olives off the shelf and put them in the cart. This is not usually what she does. It was hilarious.
We went to the Teddy Bear Tea at the library today. Navie made a Hippo headband.
The gang.

The City Days of Utah have begun. We got a taste of the Springville Rodeo..

And the Eagle Mountain Demolition Derby.
Here's a shot of the action.

A disclaimer: I am no photographer but this is the best I can do so far to capture our family memories.
