The Concert...

Well, the day after we got back from Oregon I was headed down to Utah! When I got into Utah my friend asked if I would go to a concert with her. Well, the plan was for me to babysit for Bruce and Elisa while they went to the concert. Being the night before the concert I told my friend that I didn't think it would work. However, the morning of Elisa called around and found a babysitter! :) I was so excited!!!

I was SOOO excited for Colbie Caillat to sing! I didn't take too many pictures of her, because I was worried that the camera was going to run out of bateries. She sang a Jackson Five song that we all got to stand up and dance to, so that was fun!




This is Marchelle and I... she took me to the concert for my birthday. Man, this has been quite the birthday season for me! She got the tickets from a coworker that couldn't go or something!? They were in the very front section, far right and back row.



Here are a couple pictures of John Mayer. He's actually quite amazing! He playes the guitar super well, has a great voice and is pretty fun to watch.




Thanks for taking me to the concert, Marchelle! You're awesome!!!

Oregon!!

Well, the week before last I was able to catch a ride with the parents, Brooke and the kids up to Oregon to see my grandparents. I hadn't been there for four or so years, so a lot had changed since then! Here are a few of the pictures I took while I was there.













Everything looked so beautiful!

Let the fun begin...

I didn't take too many pictures during the trip... I always forget to whip out my camera while we are playing games, but we sure did play some! It was fun to pick berries from the garden and play games in the yard.














Playing hide and seak with the kids was one of my favorites. We played it quite a few times. While I was hiding I thought of a couple great places to hide for the next couple rounds. So, the next time I hid in the grill area. Then the next time I had planned to hide up in this great big tree...











...well, when I got up there and felt REAL proud about the spot I had for myself I looked over and on the other side of that same tree I spotted Brooke's toes! It was so funny that I couldn't stop laughing the entire time! I couldn't see her face or anything else. I tried not to look over at all, but I kept seeing those toes and ankles in my mind and couldn't stop laughing! :) Good times!

Monday and Tuesday Mornings...

Well, I wasn't able to get much done yesterday and today, but I did work a little in the mornings. Brooke and kids came yesterday, so we spent time playing yesterday afternoon and evening. Then today I worked only for an hour or two and then I had to pack and get ready for our trip to Oregon! :)











I was able to put the first coat on that light green wall and the first coat on the top stripe in the closet. Other then that I was working on detail work. The close up picture of the window edge shows how I had to use a small brush to try and straighten the lines on the sides of the window. If you also look at that picture you can see the difference between the side that I did and the top that I have yet to do.


I will be gone for the next two weeks, so I will not be working on the room until I get back. Until then, have a fantastic one!!! :)

Saturday update...

I wasn't able to do too much today. I got a phone call telling me that I had to go to the Badger Reunion today, so I finished the light blue and then washed everything (including a shower for me). I thought I'd blog before I go. Here are more pictures of the progress!







What's left!? Well, if you haven't already noticed, the dark green stripe in the closet has only had one coat, and the dark green strip shown in this picture also only has one coat.

Besides that, all I have left is the light green for the top stripe in the closet and the other three sides of the bedroom that aren't dark green. After I do those I will need to take a very small brush to all my lines to make them straighter. I'm getting excited, I think it's starting to look pretty nice!

Let's just hope that all the colors match the bed spread and curtains well! :)

Another Update...

Today went pretty slow. It's hard to use different colors, cause you have to clean everything and dry them between each step. But, it has been pretty fun and I think it might look pretty nice!

I took pictures of the closet along the way today. I'm also showing a picture of what the dark green wall looks like right now. I didn't do too much in the main room besides that wall today.
Anywho, I hope ya'll enjoy!!!
