Not exactly the color we were shooting for!

So Chris finally let me paint something in the house. My project...the upstairs bathroom. I really had no idea what color to go for, and no real leads. So I picked up a book at Lowes and said how about this one. The label says "aloe vera" but when I look at it I say "minty green." Since I'm tired from painting we are gonna just have to stick with this color for a while. So off shopping we go to find some accent colors to go with it, maybe after all we can pull it together.*hopefully*

Here is before I decided to paint:





And after the painting project:


I will post some more pictures when we have our little bathroom project completely finished.

Dragon Boat Festival

This year was our first year attending the Dragon Boat Festival at Sloans Lake. It was fun and a good time to go since Ludy was still in Town. Here are a few pics from our day at the Festival.

They had all sorts of different Asian dances to sit and watch, these guys were pretty interesting.





Then Logan and Ludy went to go and get their faces painted.

Ludy got the Chinese
Symbol that was suppose to mean "princess" and Logan got well we really don't know what Logan got. He asked for a cheetah and ended up looking like this. He wasn't all that excited about it when he looked in the mirror.








Of course we had to see the Dragon Boat races them selves. My work actually sponsored one of the boats. We were trying to figure out how to become one of the boat people, but by the end it just looks like so much work to do the paddling, I think that I will just watch from the side.




Believe it or not we waited about 1 hour in line for this little Chinese dragon balloon. There was one man and he was making all the balloons for the kids.


It was fun Ludy & Andrew, come again!!!!

Estes Park

Chris' sister Ludy is here visiting for a few days. Today was the day we went to Estes Park. It was a nice day! Sunday afternoon we will go to the Dragon Boat Races, so we have a busy weekend planned. Here are some of our pictures from the day.



On the way we ran into these very tame I guess chipmunks. So Andrew and Logan tried feeding them to make them come even closer. When they realized Logan was giving them and old used up peanut shell they weren't so interested.





Then on the way home we had to make a quick stop at Jellystone....thinking it maybe a spot we want to hit for a weekend away.From what we saw they had cabins and camping there, we merely were there for yogi bear.


I'll have more on Sunday afternoon after the Dragon Boat Races!!!

Montana Adventure

We enjoyed so much seeing everybody when we were in Montana. We spent 10 very busy on the go days there. So here goes the run down of everything we did.
We left Thursday AM *July2* and headed to Bozeman. We had a full car Load, Chris, Myself, Logan, Aunt Kathy and of course Cinderella. We spent the night there Thursday and left in the morning for Great Falls. We spent 5 days there and had no moment of sitting still. We spent a lot of time with Chris' family and friends. Chris was very excited for the 4th of July b/c he could finally buy some fireworks. He had lot of time with his best friend Shane and his wife and their new little addition to the family, baby Ruth.




They got in their little game of golf. I of course with the tag along who drove the cart.







My friend Lisa came up to Great Falls from White Sulfur to hang out for a day, it was fun to see her!

We tried our luck at a game of Mini Golf but in the end owed the boys some ice cream

After Great Falls we made our way to hang out for a day with some of my family! It was fun to see them. I geared towards my little sisters education and made her go on the tour of the old Deer Lodge Prison, even though she has done it tons of times.




Then off to West Yellowstone we ran for a couple days away. I had Chris go to his very first Play mill Theater show. We went to "Guys and Dolls." He was a little leery in the beginning but when all was said and done he really did enjoy himself.

We drove through the park and saw almost everything. Old Faithful, the stinky paint pots, and a couple buffalo and elk. Ya know the usual Yellowstone Park stuff.




Saturday was Randy and Jodi's wedding day. They held their wedding at the Inn at Willow Creek. It was a nice place outside with the reception in the barn.




Then for today the long drive home, and when I say long it was long. Everybody was tired for driving/riding by the time we got here.


We are sorry if we missed you on this trip to Montana and will get you the next go round!
