Pioneer Day

Baylin before the parade

For our Pioneer Day we watched the Days of 47 Parade on the t.v. and Baylin was in the Tooele Children's Parade. It was a really big deal! I thought it would be just a little parade , but no, the wards in Tooele went all out and put on a fabulous parade!!! She was on our wards Primary float. The theme of our float was "Native American Pioneers." I put this costume together and they made and decorated the headbands in Primary last week. She was really scared and crying before the parade and she didn't want to do it and I made her. I left her crying and when the parade got started she was fine and happy. She had such a good time and was so adorable on the float!!! I was so proud of her getting over her fear. She said there was just too many people!

The Old Kitchen

Here are a couple of pictures of what our kitchen looked like when we moved in. Lets just say it's YUCK!!! First of all the blue sponged paint, the ugly rooster wall paper, the blue countertops, the particle board cabinets, and the cream tile all had to go. Last summer before we moved in we took down the rooster wallpaper and painted all the walls brown. Everything else we got rid of this summer.

Here is an update on our kitchen remodel. It is looking so good! The kitchen is almost done and Nolan has been working so HARD!!! The only thing left to do in the kitchen is put up the crown molding above the cabinets, put up the tile backsplash and put up the baseboards. I LOVE how it has turned out!!! It is so much better than what I had pictured in my mind. The cabinets are still empty and the kitchen isn't put back together yet, but we are working on it. I will post a picture when it is completely finished!!!

Here are a few more pictures from this last week. We not only celebrated the 4th of July, but we spent Saturday at Lagoon ALL day. It was a blast! We also went to the pool at Deseret Peak complex and went swimming with Ryan and Katelyn. It sure has been a busy week. We are also remodeling our kitchen and putting in new floor in the hallway and entry way. Nolan is doing all of it and it looks so good. I will post pictures when the project is complete. We are in a huge mess right now, but it will be worth it when we are all finished.

We had such a fun 4th of July. We went to the parade, got candy, did face painting, slide down the giant blow up slide at the park, endured 102 degree temperatures, went swimming at my Mom's, had a BBQ, celebrated Nolan and my Mom's birthday, ate cake and ice cream, opened presents, watched fireworks, stayed up way too late and spent lots of FUN time withy our family. We hope everyone had safe and happy 4th of July!
