new walls

I sure hope you can follow this post. There are lots of pictures and lots of explanations, but I didn't do it in a very organized way! So good luck!
The before picture of the room with the computer in it!!! Brown paneling walls.

The process of priming the walls and then 2 coats of paint!

Gotta love the bright white primer!

This last picture and the very first picture are the exact same corner of the office room!!!

Finished!!!

The two rooms I painted last week are put back together!!!! I changed the decorations a little and the furniture a little!

It does seem a lot bigger.

I would love to have a new couch and recliner, but the ones we have will work!

My little office spot!

Update

we are still working on this house (decluttering) We are continuing to mow the yard, weed eat, work in the garden (finally), lead rambo, play with the hound puppies and enjoy doing whatever we please! The weather is so nice that the painted rooms haven't yet been put back together and furniture is still well, yep everywhere! I am going to try to complete several loose ends in the next week!!!! but have to say will probably take a break this weekend and enjoy the holiday!!!

This week...

This week we(I) have
1. completed painting two rooms (over paneling) so it took some time
2. working on cleaning out and organizing the basement
3. mowed
4. enjoying the sunshine!!!
5. pitched some toys - the basement got a little wet, therefore good reason to get rid of major (CRAP)!!!!
6. we are decluttering this house!

Pictures of the paint to come..

Wine

The wine tour and wine tasting was very fun!! Great picture Amanda!!

Some were good and others, not so much!!!

It was fun as we went down the list of what we liked and didn't like, we did bring a couple of bottles home and a couple of wine glasses!! We think we could get used to it!

Zip line

The zipline started up here!

It was fun, but a little scary being up so high!! This one is just the practice line!

The group of zipliners!

The picture we took before we went ziplining!!!

Branson

These are segways, they are motorized scooters!! Let me tell you they were not my favorite. I was too tense and did not enjoy riding them!

This was the group of 5 that rode them the first day!

BLB thought it was fun, he also did a good job at it and truly enjoyed my not so great experience, he thought I was funny!

Vacation

We have been in Branson, MO for the past 5 days!!

We golfed 3 different golf courses and enjoyed them all!

We spent 5 whole days together without our children, and with Brandons extended family!!!

This was the view from our room!
More pictures to come, some good and some not!!

Memorial Day

We enjoy golfing, all summer long, all day long, all week long as long as it is nice outside.

On Memorial day we spent the day at the golf course, the boys were a little restless, so I took them for a break to the park.

They thought it was fun!

It was hot and they really wanted to be in the swimming pool, but we just played!

Grandpa Dickies

Does it concern any of the rest of you that Tucker is on an ATV, by himself????

Tayden thinks he is big stuff, he graduated from the 3 wheeler, to Bradlys 4 wheeler!!!

They enjoy riding them up and down the driveway, through the mud, around the garden, and anywhere they can!!!!
Thanks Grandpa and Grandma!!!!

Thanks a million!

Denny and Tucker

Thanks Denny for all you have done!!

A very special lady has been a part of our lives for the past 5 years. She has helped tremendously in many ways, discipline, respect, and caring. Her doors are always open even in the Summer when mommy is off, but might want to golf or go somewhere without the two big helpers at our house!! She and Lyle do all they can for the children that call that place the babysitters!! They are great people and we appreciate all she does!!! The years of full time daycare have come to an end, we are sending Tucker to pre-school in August and got word that is will be 4 days a week. Monday -Thursday and he will ride the school bus with Tayden. There dad is going to put them on the bus and Mom will be home when they get off, therefore we are also saving this mom about 30 minutes a day!

Weekly update

This week we have swam in the pond, mommy golfed, weeded the garden, mowed the yard, and basically whatever I or we wanted to. Also did get 4 days of school work in this week!!!! We are enjoying summer vacation! I will post pictures soon!

Saturday June 5, 2004

At 6:00 pm, Lori Lynn Utt and Brandon Lee Bish were united in marriage, by officiant Rex Steinkruger at the McGowen Area just east of Bloomfield. "From this moment on" by Shania Twain, and "I Swear" by John Michael Montgomery were played via cd player. The decorations were bright colored flowers, white chairs, white arbor with purple wisteria, and green ferns. The wedding took place outside with around 100 guest present. The wedding party was Kylie Speer (Nebel), Leslie Lough, Lindsay Smith, Amanda Swaim, Lincoln Utt, Josh Batterson, JT Hopkins, Nathan Taylor, Joe Speer, and Bradly Bish, Brett Lough and Daylen Fenton.

I believe that is all the details, and yes I had to get the book out to look, I couldn't remember the exact time and songs.

Happy 7th Anniversary BLB!
