Memory Lane!

I am so copying your blog Jenny R I hope that is okay!

Everyone seems to have one of these on their blog these days. And since I'm such a crowd-follower, I decided to jump on the bandwagon. PLEASE PARTICIPATE! This could be interesting! :) Here is the challenge:

The Memory Post

1. As a comment on my blog, leave a memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you know me a little or a lot, anything you remember! If we're only blogging friends, write about a post that is the most memorable for you.

2. Next, if you feel so inclined, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. If you leave a memory about me, I'll be sure to write one about you...!

3. If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. ☺ And please do this on your page, too, so we can all share in the fun times together. :)

Mamma Mia!!

It was girl's night out on Tuesday so we decided to go to a chic flick. Jenny, my mom, Angela my sis, her friend Jen and Jenny's friend and daughter met at the theater and settled in for a fabulous time. ( With a warning that we were not to sing along. ) This movie was great!! The stars did a great job though they could have gotten better male actor singers, sorry Pierce. The music was so good that immediately after the movie we had to go out and buy some ABBA. We really had a super fun time and will have to check out the next chick flick. Yea!!

It's My Birthday!!

So this post comes a couple of weeks late. Sorry still trying to play catch up.

During our visit to Richfield over the 4th my sister-in-laws suggested we throw Colton a party to celebrate his birthday. We though that was a great idea since he never gets to celebrate it with the Rowley cousins. Trent's family was great and went all out. Sheri and my Mom-in-law, Colleen, made the cake. It was perfect for Colton. He is a pilot through and through. The morning of the 4th during the parade Colton spread out his arms and said "this is my party" with a big grin. I would think it was a party too if people threw me candy and prizes. He loves his presents and still plays with them everyday. A big thanks to my fabulous inlaws for making Colton's day special. We sure love hanging with you all.

4th of July FUN!!

What a fabulous holiday this has been. Course we are always glad to get out of town for a few days. I love 4th of July in Richfield. There is so much tradition and we love being a part of it. It is totally geared for kids and family. First off there is the parade where tons and tons of candy is thrown. Following the parade it is over to the city park where food and booths are set up for everyone. Following lunch you head to the foot races where all the kids get a chance to race and everyone gets a 50 cent coin for their efforts. Later in the afternoon there is a fish grab where a mob (that is the only way to describe it) of kids descends on three large temporary ponds full of fish to grab and take home. That is kind of crazy due to the amount of kids and crowd control issues. Following the fish grab we go to the pool where it is free swim day and a coin toss in the pool to grab as many as you can. Adults are invited to this one. Once dinner is done we get to do fireworks on the street and then align our chairs for the fireworks off the mountain. It is a busy fun day and we enjoy going every year!!

Interior Designer, I'm not

So I am a no longer a newlywed, with newlywed furniture and a newlywed budget. I have some great pieces of furniture that need an update to make our living room not so hodge podge anymore. My solution is to stain/paint these items to give the room a more homey and complete feel. I just don't know what to do or what to pick. My first instinct is black but then once I go black I can't go back. This is where you all come in. My sis in laws suggested blogging to find the answer so here are the pics of my furniture. Keep in mind that I have dark blue carpet (I know, I can't change that) and dark green sofas. Please help me decide what I should do with these. And what colors should I use.
