Summer!

We are officially in the thick of summer!  HOORAY! 
I love, love, love summer!

Love LIBERTY PARK.....

Love watching my girl get to play soccer with her grandpa....

Love that it stays warm and light 'til late....

Love that she doesn't have a care in the world....

Loving first time swim lessons...

Really love the swim cap and goggles!

Loved taking the littles to their first Utah Arts Festival....

I've always loved the Arts Fest....it is a definer of summer in Salt Lake City....

I LOVED that my daughter was the only child the entire weekend that wanted to put an elephant nose (including glitter and bright paint) on the giant paper mache frog instead of their provided "warts"!

LOVE, love love these three!

Poor man...it was sweltering hot...

While I'm on a "love" kick.  I am loving this paint color...

Does this make your cringe?

I'm not usually one to throw paint over unpainted wood myself.  But, it was essential in this case.  We are not fans of the '80's oak trend.  And, we really weren't fans of how blah our downstairs kitchen looked.  Blah brown tile floors, "nothing to me" white backsplash, even more boring cream colored counter tops.  This kitchen was screaming, "Please, oh please give me some color!"  So, I jumped right in and said, "No problem."  :)

Unfortunately, our buyer backed out at the last minute on our "old" house, so we are back to days of showings and open houses.  It's pretty rough trying to keep the house spotless, work and take care of the baby.  So, we have decided that we are going to continue to push to get the basement finished at the new house, so that we can move over there.  We figure we should be able to refinish the new house faster if we are there and much easier to keep the old house in "show condition".  Fingers are crossed that we can be over there in August. 

Jody, I'm so glad that you were able to get your family up to the mountains!  They are always the best for providing calm and tranquility when your world is full of chaos.  We are going to try to get up there this weekend.
