super random loves

This is such a random post about fun with things we have been up! Lots of here and there and everywhere!!

First...I spray painted our storm door! BLUE! And I love it!! It looks like a rainbow threw up all over my house and I love it! So much life and color!

My feet looked similar to a smurf. I put plastic on the ground but it didn't do any good. Our garage is covered in blue paint. Kind of funny...

I also painted our actual door. Just white and tan. Nothing crazy but it sure looks a lot better. Still has the ugly yellow glass...baby steps though. I have no pictures of it!

I seriously love our house! I feel so blessed to be here and making it our own home!

Second...Shane has started playing summer baseball for the old Hyrum Hornets! It's been super fun to watch him play...not to mention I LOVE to see those field lights come on at night! There are few greater sights than that!

Third...Adi had her first dance recital last week. Be still my heart! She was so darling! Didn't follow a single step and was totally in her own little world...just like normal! Loved watching her!!

Fourth...Daren's Uncle Neil has been preparing for the upcoming Hancey Family Camp out that will be at his house this year. With those preparations, he has added a ZIP LINE to his yard. Last Sunday we went over to everyone could test it out. It was a hit! I didn't try it...mainly because I am a chicken. Maybe I will for the actual camp out...maybe...mostly I am worried that I am not strong enough to hold on for a 5 second period. HA! But seriously...

Shane and Daren both did it...well Daren did until he could touch the ground...haha! He didn't make it very far...

Fifth...and everything else...

I FINALLY put curtain up in our bedroom. Have I mentioned that my husband HATES to up curtain rods? Bless his heart for helping me! I bought these bad boys like a year ago and never got around the buying the actual rods for them. Loving the way it makes our room feel. More homey and peaceful.

 I won this North Face jacket! It's like a $200 jacket and it was FREE! Boo yeah! It's a little snug but who cares! FREE! I was the first to find the North Face rep at a local sporting good. Daren saw the radio station van parked in front of the store as we pulled in so he turned the radio station to it and sure enough..."Be the first person to come see us and we will give you this jacket." Heck yeah we raced in there and found him! It was awesome!

We went and visited Grandma's grave on Memorial Day weekend. It was really beautiful and super busy! Grandma is doing good. I rearranged her flowers so they were all symmetrical. I know she appreciated it.

My popsicle bench strikes again! Look at these cute scouts! They stopped by to enjoy the bench...and then never left! HA! They are also in our Sunday School class. Good kids! I was informed Sunday that they will be stopping by again this week after scouts.

Last week we had the craziest hail storm I think I have ever seen! We were in Providence at Annie and Harley's house and all of a sudden the power went out. Soon after that we decided to head home and then BAM...HAIL!! Like big old hail balls! We were driving like 15 MPH and we could barely see in front of us! And it was SO loud! I could barely hear Daren talk and he was sitting right next to me! I for sure thought it was going to break our windshield! When we got home, we didn't have a single drop of rain! It was so cra!

Well that's all for now! I am super excited for this summer. It's going to be the summer of FUN! Last summer all we did was work. This summer we are going to PLAY!

mostly daren and adi but that's okay

So this most will mostly be pictures of Daren and Adi. It seems like that is what most of my pictures are. I tell you...these two are the best of friends. Their relationship is just so special and I LOVE watching them. I hope they always remain close.

A few weeks ago, we were at Sunday dinner and Adi was sitting behind Daren's head and just tormenting Daren's face. It was so funny to watch! The pictures aren't the best because I was laughing so hard! Daren just let her do her thing.

The other night Adi was out at our house and this is how she chose to watch her movie...Seriously. This girl loves her Uncle Daren!

In other non Adi and Daren news...

We had a little over nighter in Bear Lake with part of Daren's family a few weekends ago. It was only for a night but it sure was fun! We spent most of the time in the pool playing game and sitting in the hot tub. In the morning, we had breakfast and played games, then headed home. But not more stopping for a raspberry malt and a picture! 

We celebrated Kayzen's 7th birthday recently! I still can't believe he is 7! I swear he is still 5! Love my monkey!

In house related news...

We finally got the front of the house done...well as far as landscaping goes! We got plants and flowers planted. It makes me so happy! We are slowly working on the rest but it keeps raining! I am grateful for the rain but I have about a million outside projects I want to do! We did get some things planted in our garden last night! So exciting!!

When we went to buy all our plants we couldn't find our bungie cords. So, instead, we just buckled the plants in! Don't want them falling over! HA!

We also got a new mailbox! And I love it! It's so cute! Every time I would get the mail I would get annoyed because the old mailbox had the old owners last name. It's MY house and I want MY name on it! It's not on it yet, but it will be one day!

We had this tree in our backyard that bloomed the most beautiful blossoms this year! They are already gone but I sure did enjoy them while they were in bloom. We moved in too late last year to see them!

Since it's been raining, we have been able to do a few other little projects....like...building a bench for our porch. Daren built it for me and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it!! I have big dreams for this bench. It's for laughing and loving and eating popsicles on! We are going to watch thunder storms on it and have deep conversations on it. Seriously people...BIG dreams! We have already had our first popsicles on it!

And last...just a few pictures of the Bear doggy and his people...He loves his people!

That's all for now! Much love.
