August Happenings

Man, August has flown by. Here is August at a glance.

This actually is what is happening today... September 1st, but close enough. We finally had someone come and paint the 20 foot walls in the entry. I am so excited I can't stand it. They look so much better after 10 years of wear and tear.

I am so glad we didn't try to do it.

The last weeks in August have been dedicated to home improvement. Nice deep wire basket drawers by my sink for dish towels and such.

These chrome drawers are great for the heavy stuff in the cupboard. No more pulling everything out to fined something.

I also decorated Rick's new office at work with some pictures of beautiful rock art taken in Lake Powell, and outside of Vernal, Utah where we grew up. Some of the pottery was made by the kids in high school, some were gifts, and some we bought.

He needs some plants but all in all I thought it looked pretty good. His boss said it looked like an art gallery...I am still trying to think if that was a complement or a slam. I think is looks nice!

August is a big Birthday month for us. Bailey, Me, Becky my sis, Becky my dnl, and many nieces and nephews.

Bailey celebrating her 7th birthday.

Looli made this darling cupcake cake for my birthday. 5 years plus........?

The neighborhood squirrels are getting so friendly...busted for digging under my tree! .

Here is his partner in crime standing atop the neighbors garden art.

Jake is cutting teeth. He came over the other day and I gave him a Popsicle. This was his second Popsicle for the day, listen to his sound effects... hysterical.
