Sharpie Wall

I truly am a really strange girl always have been and probably always will be.. i have had a box FULL of Sharpie markers for as long as I can remember I have always just been really creative (or a doodler)... I hardly ever use them only when I make a cd or something like that, well yesterday I thought that we would do something fun and creative in Abbeys room... so we drew on her walls made flowers and it was so fun!

Yuba Lake

We went camping this last weekend, with all my sisters and my mom! It was so fun, we were going to go boating but it was really really windy, and one night it rained, but it was so fun, I haven't been camping for way too long! Lane had to work, so it was just me and Abbey! I put up and took down our tent all by myself, i know that sounds so lame, but i just had never really done it, and honestly Lane or my dad usually sets up my tent! Our tent was the only girls tent... everyone else had a boy in theirs, we really did have alot of fun! At night we would just lay there and stare at the top of the tent and listen to the wind and just laugh! She is becoming such a ham! She just thinks she is the funniest thing! She is walking more and more everyday! I think that camping helped.. i don't really know why she didn't want to crawl on the rocks up there, cause she crawls on our rock driveway all the time? Whatever works I guess!

The first day we were up there my sister Keara's little girl Ellie was over playing in the dirt just happy and having fun and then all the sudden she started crying.. apparently she wasn't playing in the dirt, at Yuba there were hundreds of HUGE red ant hills.. i have never seen so many in my entire life, but she was just sitting on a big huge ant hill! They crawled in her diaper and she got some bites on her little bum and the one that really made her cry was the one on her finger! She said that she was just trying to play with them! She is the nudist in our family she is naked more than she is clothed!

Lane works for the Home Depot down here in Richfield, right now he is the Lumber Supervisor, but one of our Assistant Managers just got fired, so there is a postion open, with Home Depot in order to become an Assistant Manager, you have to take a test called a RMA.. so our store manager made a list of all the Department Supervisors that he wanted to take it and sent it off to his boss and his boss then decided who he would allow to go... Lane was the ONLY name that he approved! He is such a hard worker and really wants this, it is nice to see his hard work being recognized, so he will take the test in Cedar City next Tuesday, and then he can apply for the job and get an interview with our manager! I think that he has an AWESOME chance, really his only competition is someone from another store, and we aren't sure how many people are going to come clear down here! It would be a big raise and AWESOME benefits for us! So we are hoping that he will get it! He would be awesome at it! I am really proud of him! He really works so hard so that we can have such a great life, and I am a lucky little woman:)

Here are just a few pictures from our camping trip!

We have had a busy month already.. it seems like July just drug on and on and then now all the sudden we are half way through August! My mom and Ken bought a boat! We have taken it out at least once a week, and it is SO fun! We have just really loved it! Abbey loves it she loves her life jacket and going on the tube! Thats right she is one and is already a dare devil at first i was freaked out, but she has a blast! Will and Ash and Kyle came down and we had a fun couple days, we got them hooked on Yo Gabba Gabba! Then this weekend, Kyndra, Kynsie, Walker and Karlee came down, we hung out went to the lake and painted fingernails! We just love them and had a blast! Sad to see summer coming to an end but are excited for the fall!

Abbey is really starting to talk, she says up please, chip please she is just gabbering away! We are really having a fun time.. she just got a little bed and is loving it! hopefully she will start to sleep all night in it! We really are loving our sweet girl and our sweet life! We feel so lucky to have such great family that comes to visit us and make these memories that will really be remembered forever!
