Every year our garden gets a little bit better. I'm sure it's because we get a little bit better at taking care of it. My potted flowers in the back did amazing this year. We love to be outside and the kids always love checking out what has grown over night.</div>

We love our annual friends and family camping trip to Bear Lake! Lots of good food and fun. We still had to move tents on the lat night because the wind was so strong. My poor dad's tent has seen it's last trip I think. I'm determined to go up next year with nothing but a Springbar tent!</div>

So, I had been dreading the remodel of my laundry room. I didn't have to do it, but I spent a lot of time down in this room and it was awful. Not to mention that I had no running water in my basement to soak clothes, fill up my iron, and many other things that made me decide to start the remodel. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It started with ripping off wall paper. A lot of wall paper. Did I mention the fact that the original owner put the wall paper directly on the drywall? If you have never had the pleasure of experiencing this fun problem, it means you have to mud almost the entire wall! Then, sand, then mud, then sand, then texture, then texture some more. I am now proficient with drywall mud and a putty knife. Well, as proficient as I ever want to be.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Pev9ARoZCzQ/UBimQYeFc3I/AAAAAAAAA1Y/9tIaKxJ4ayg/s1600/DSC00699.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Pev9ARoZCzQ/UBimQYeFc3I/AAAAAAAAA1Y/9tIaKxJ4ayg/s320/DSC00699.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Do you notice the floor? It's brown laminate that tries to imitate patchwork hardword flooring. The cupboards dark and flimsy and very much particle board. YUCK!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mRID5yvUu5w/UBimbWCz23I/AAAAAAAAA1g/UJdCyQmE8Pk/s1600/DSC00700.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mRID5yvUu5w/UBimbWCz23I/AAAAAAAAA1g/UJdCyQmE8Pk/s320/DSC00700.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
The patch of brown showing in the picture below is what happens when the paper on the drywall peels off with the wallpaper. This patch turned into almost the whole wall. This is the reason I dreaded this project. I wasn't sure I could patch it and make it look good. Also, the drywall kept bubbling up so I had to keep mudding it over and over again. So frustrating!<br />
<br />

I should have taken pictures during the day when the sunlight streams through the window. My favorite feature is the tile, no wait, the laundry sink, no wait the new white cupboards! I just can't decide, I love it all!<br />

<br />
I couldn't do one part of the laundry room by myself. So a HUGE thank you to Jennie and Tony for the tile, my cousin Jad for the cupboards, Travis for cutting the drywall, my boss for bringing me tools and cutting the counters and doors, and Pete for rescuing me when I just couldn't finish it by myself.The Turleyshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02276109974127395181noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5712219116664641429.post-4262254873016399892012-07-28T21:03:00.000-07:002012-07-28T21:03:17.632-07:00Summer of Cousins<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Bridger and Marshall at the fountains at Gateway. Does this pose look familiar to anyone? Chad would do this EVERYTIME I took a picture of him in his swimsuit. Just made me smile :o)<br />

We braved a trip with just our little family to Disneyland. It was more fun and relaxing than I had expected. I was so worried about the plane ride, but each seat had it's own TV and the kids just watched cartoons the whole time.</div>

I had someone take a picture of us infront of the castle, but I failed to check to make sure that there was an actual picture taken. So, this is as close as we have to the traditional family pose at Disneyland.<br />

And of course, Jedi training was a hit! Bridger didn't get selected as a Jedi, but he loved watching it. Both kids got scared when Darth Vador and Darth Maul attacked the training. I had to do some quick<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">damage control and explain that it was all just pretend. </span><br />

Livy's favorite part of the trip was the World of Color water show. We watched it on our last night.

Bridger is a Turley through and through. It comes out in different ways and this time, through sports. We have tried about 3 different activities to see what he would like. This year, he was finally old enough to play baseball, well, tee ball to be exact. And he LOVES it!</div>

Getting ready for his first practice. He is also very excited about being 4! Him and Livy can pick the number 4 out of any sign, label, story, ANYTHING!<br />

I died laughing at his first game! It was awesome to see the helmets on these little kids. It reminded me of the movie "Space Balls". No one knew where to run after they hit the ball and it was a wrestling match in the field every time a ball left the tee.<br />

Just a few games in and they have a good grasp on the game. No more dog piles, they all run to first base (no guarantee after first, though), and every great once in a while, someone catches the ball.<br />
<br />
It's hard not to think of Chad when we embark on new adventures like this. I know that he would be right there with Bridger, teaching him all the tricks of the trade. Bridger is very encouraged to know that his daddy loved baseball and played when he was a little boy just like him.The Turleyshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02276109974127395181noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5712219116664641429.post-28030383721850439872012-05-05T21:09:00.003-07:002012-05-05T21:09:37.872-07:00Happy Easter 2012<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<span style="text-align: center;">I started a tradition last year making a skirt for Livy and a tie for Bridger. I really love to sew and this justifies another project. I wanted to make a bubble skirt for Livy and after much searching online, I was left to my own devices. I think it turned out great and she loves it.</span><br />

Bridger's friend, Isaac came with his mom as well. This was such a great adventure. I rarely get to do something one on one with the kids and Bridger does not like to go anywhere without Livy. When I was telling the kids the plans, they decided they wanted to go and leave me at home! I told Livy she would get to go to a friends house and they were going to a wedding where she could dance.

She hears music everywhere she goes. She dances to every movie, to all the credit music, in the store, in church. EVERYWHERE! So, I signed her up for dance.<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8BcdtldukcM/TtFU8N8BmXI/AAAAAAAAAss/0CrqrU5Iku8/s1600/DSC00539.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5679413998601214322" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8BcdtldukcM/TtFU8N8BmXI/AAAAAAAAAss/0CrqrU5Iku8/s320/DSC00539.JPG" /></a> She does tap and ballet at a studio in Sandy.

I made Livy's skirt and Bridger's tie! It was so fun and easy. It was also nice to have coordinating twin outfits for a boy and a girl! Which is impossible to find in the stores (at least at a reasonable price)!
<br />
<br />Livy and Bridger love to do funny poses for the camera. Here's some of their best!

Some of the plants have contracted a fungus, so I don't know if I'll get any good peppers or eggplants. I took this picture on Sunday afternoon and it was soooo hot. I decided to water because so many of the plants were looking wilty.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-yg1WanMmt6Y/ThDSeEyzYPI/AAAAAAAAArI/hCkljwcYdaM/s1600/DSC00514.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625227348710482162" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-yg1WanMmt6Y/ThDSeEyzYPI/AAAAAAAAArI/hCkljwcYdaM/s320/DSC00514.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_NRde0W36Ek/ThDSd4ANVfI/AAAAAAAAArA/XBFv1ij0EIo/s1600/DSC00515.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625227345277048306" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_NRde0W36Ek/ThDSd4ANVfI/AAAAAAAAArA/XBFv1ij0EIo/s320/DSC00515.JPG" /></a><br />My grass in the front yard is not doing to hot, or maybe I should say it's getting too hot. My flowers are loving it, though. This is the first year that I really planted any annuals and I have to say that they are looking pretty good.<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-p0UV_HLI1bQ/ThDSdcCyYsI/AAAAAAAAAq4/YkoY4VnaIj0/s1600/DSC00518.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625227337771672258" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-p0UV_HLI1bQ/ThDSdcCyYsI/AAAAAAAAAq4/YkoY4VnaIj0/s320/DSC00518.JPG" /></a> </div></div>The Turleyshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02276109974127395181noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5712219116664641429.post-22536788180014923372011-07-03T13:23:00.001-07:002011-07-03T13:32:10.983-07:00Dirty Girl Race at Wheeler FarmI signed up for my first muddy obstacle course race.

I had to call it an adventure to get the kids excited about riding in a car for 8 hours!

He heard about it from a co-worker and thought he would possibly, maybe, like gardening if it was low maintenance. So, he bought me the Squarefoot Gardening book for Mother's Day in 2008. I have done it for two years and have not been successful yet. Although, I'm conviced that is due to my lack of follow through rather than the type of gardening.<br /><br />It started out with two 4'x4' boxes. Determined to be prepared to have a successful gardening season in 2011, I started preparing during the Fall of 2010. I added 3 more 4'x4' boxes and a zuccini circle (no matter what the book says, I'm convinced that zuccini will NOT grow vertically).<br /><br />With the help of some of my wonderful friends, the garden got planted today. Plus, the yard got mowed and edged which it needed desperately!<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-lo7HavQSqU4/Tc74MxMGfCI/AAAAAAAAAps/KXUbG1hBQX4/s1600/DSC00453.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5606691484369058850" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-lo7HavQSqU4/Tc74MxMGfCI/AAAAAAAAAps/KXUbG1hBQX4/s320/DSC00453.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--GN6EPEdaYU/Tc74McjY6wI/AAAAAAAAApk/l5arthnOZaA/s1600/DSC00454.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5606691478829591298" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--GN6EPEdaYU/Tc74McjY6wI/AAAAAAAAApk/l5arthnOZaA/s320/DSC00454.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dedpWwxebxI/Tc73mo0PKRI/AAAAAAAAApc/n0Q5Sh201AM/s1600/DSC00456.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5606690829286451474" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dedpWwxebxI/Tc73mo0PKRI/AAAAAAAAApc/n0Q5Sh201AM/s320/DSC00456.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div>Bridger and Livy "helped" too.
