The Table

Our last table was again a beautifull table set if it were still the 80's. That set we baught brand new about 20 years ago. It matched our old front room couches perfectly, how that happend was by chance. Anyway in keeping up with the upgrades, Dave found this lovely dining room set for only $80 on KSL.com. They sold it because they had just moved into a newer home and this set just didn't go with their new dining room. They spent over $1000 when they baught this set. So here's the picture of our new dining table and chairs.

The couch

We've been through a few couches so far. The last couch set in our front room was the perfect set if it were still the 80's. It was given to us by Dave's parents who got it from an inlaw. We took the 80's couches to Doug's Orem house to be used in his theater room in the basement.

This set, Dave found again on KSL.com for only $90 for the set. However it didn't match the green paint on the walls. So I re-painted the walls to match the couches. Just love all these projects Dave brings home for me to do. (NOT) However I do like these couches and we did need an update. and the new paint matches better with the new flooring we put in last year in the kitchen. It's the spending any amount of money right now that I'm not to happy with. He did use his computer business money to pay for them, so I forgave him.

Anyway here's a picture of them in my freshly painted front room. Eccept you can't see my brown walls very well in this photo.

I'm going to need matching curtains now.

The tent

We had a garage sale last fall right after Dave was laid off of work. We sold the tent that my parents gave us for $25. It was a good tent, it leaked a bit. It was just really big and bulky and we hardly every used it. Dave found a free tent on KSL.com. They said it was still good. However when we got it home and put it up, it was missing a pole and the front zipper was beyond repair and it was covered in mold. Out that tent went. We do have one tent that is a two person tent for the girls. So no camping trips for the family this year. O well. My girls don't like camping anymore anyway. Dayna gets car sick and heat exahstion very easy. And Jess doesn't like to be away from the computer for to long. I don't like the meal planning and packing. Dave loves camping. Ya because he doesn't have to do anything. I'm sure Dave will bring home a few more free tents from KSL.com before the summer is over. He's gotten to be quite the horder.

more beading

Just some more beading projects. I have lots more I need to post, but my camera ran out of battery juice. I'm out of the fancy beads. All I have left are accent beads. Guess I'll just have to take a trip over to honks and see if they have any left. Every time I find a new craft project and then find my materials at a cheep store, everyone else jumps on the band-wagon and buys up all the stuff I need. I was the one who asked the sales associate at the honks in Provo to please put in the word to order lots of beads, and they did. Apparently word got out that honks has cool beads and now they can't keep up with the demand. Darn these crazy Utah Mormon stay at home moms.

Dayna's graduation

Dayna graduated from Salem Hills High School. Here are some pictures of the most momentous day.
