day 184
365/184
So pleased with the way my kitchen is looking. I am done with projects for the summer. I've got paint colors for the walls picked out, but will wait to tackle that when the kids start up school in the fall. If you need a reminder of what it looked like before.........look here.

Happy Fourth of July! I am so grateful to live in this country. To enjoy the freedoms and privileges that we do. We truly are lucky.

day 186
365/186
Daddy didn't have to work today. I needed to get out of the house. I suggested we drive through the canyon and visit Tinkertown. I remember loving the funky museum as a kid. After our visit we drove another 30 miles to check out Madrid, NM. (Where lots of the film 'Wild Hogs' was taped) It was a super fun day. I love days that I get to spend with my family. (Outside of the house. HA!)

day 187
365/187
Part of my goal when starting this 365 photo a day project, was to document the EVERY day. Large and small things that are always going on. Something that is a pretty big part of my every day life is my church calling. I am the Mia Maid Advisor. Every Tuesday night we have mutual. Tonight for our activity we made personal progress book holders and hand bags out of placemats. Since I didn't take my camera to the activity tonight, I figured a photo of the finished projects would be fine.

day 188
365/188
Wednesday. Jenna and I went to the library today. We try to go once a month during the school year, and once a week during the summer months. These are the books from our visit today. Our big pile of books makes me (and Jenna) very happy. In fact some of them we read twice that morning.

day 189
365/189
I took the kids (and a few of their friends) swimming today. We stayed till the pool closed. It wasn't a super hot day. But swimming was just what they needed and wanted. Doing something they wanted to, made me feel like a better mom for a change. And it made them tired for the rest of the evening...Here they are, all camped out for a few minutes while watching Sponge Bob. (There are a couple of kids camped out on the floor in front of the TV too.) We always have extra boys at the house. This photo just makes me happy as I try to remind myself that it's GOOD that the kids want to hang out here.

day 190
365/190
I actually took a couple pictures today. I was bummed though, that I didn't take my camera with me to the airport as I shipped Lindsey off to BYU for over a week as she attends track camp. I'm afraid I'm going to miss her. Out of all the kids, she's the one least likely to get on my nerves. LOL Jenna had Stoney over this afternoon, and those 2 together are a hoot. I took a photo of them playing. But then just now, as I went to dump the photos from my camera Jenna was sitting here, rocking out and playing Lars guitar. She didn't do it long enough for me to get the video camera, but you should know, that the vibrato in her voice was something else. I snapped this photo from the top of the stairs so she wouldn't see me.
until next time!-J
