Tough Enough for Pink

Wednesday the 15th Brent's brother Hal got us tickets to the Stampede Rodeo in Nampa. It was Tough Enough for Pink night and everyone was asked to wear pink with ticket sales going toward free mammograms. It was my first rodeo, I had a lot of fun. The mutton bustin' was my favorite to watch. Katie was cheering on the cattle getting upset when they got roped.

Shattered Window

Yesterday as I pulled out of my neighborhood I passed the grounds crew trimming the edges and heard a huge bang. Well they hit a rock right into my passenger side window shattering it. Scared me to death! Anyway, thankfully no one was in the car with me to be injured, we found the crew manager and he quickly agreed to replace the window and have the car detailed to remove all the glass.

Project Bathroom complete!

One of the first projects on our list was to make the bathroom usable for both of us. We bought a new medicine cabinet so Brent's toiletries would have a home then realized that the vanity wouldn't match. I also got a new shower curtain for a bridal shower gift which made me really want to paint the walls. A few weeks ago we were visiting friends in Utah and they gave us tile for a wedding gift. So all in all, we painted the walls, painted the vanity, removed the towel rods, replaced their position with the medicine cabinet and then relocated the towels to hooks behind the door and tiled the floor. Now remember when I say we I really mean Brent, I just told him what I wanted:) He sure did a great job. Here is a picture of the beginning of the project and the final results:

1st Family Camping Trip

Last week we went camping up past Stanley Idaho with Brent's sister and husband. Behind us is one of our wedding presents, a totally cool new tent.

On our way home from camping we stopped at the Kirkham Hot Springs. It was rather run. I never new about all these cool places that Brent knows about from growing up in the area and doing all sorts of Boy Scout camp outs.

Butterfly song by Katie

Katie with the help of my new nephew Dan sang to me at the wedding reception. Here is a link to the U-tube of it.
