swiss days weekend!!!!

we took pictures under water in the hot tub... the bubbles look so awesome!!

This one is my favorite!!! it turned out so clear!
For some reason dad was standing out by the river all by himself for about ten minutes.. we were inside laughing because he looks like he is pondering life... hilarious!!!!
For some reason every time we go camping in the trailer someone clogs the toilet. my poor dad has to try to unclog it!! sometimes it ends up all over his hands... so gross!!! haha!!!


We went up to swiss days cause my mom does a booth up there... she is very talented!!! i went up all day friday to help her. i had to come home and work saturday and then it was off to swiss days again last night to help take it all down. We are now camping in echo. we went swimming earlier and now were just being lazy and laying around... i want to go fishing cause there is a little creek right behind our fifth wheel.

The baby blues. :(

we have been married for two and a half years now and for the first two solid years having a baby never even crossed my mind. but all of a sudden its like a switch has flipped in my head. i really want to be a mom. i always just figured that when we wanted a baby, it would happen no problem. boy was i wrong. :( we have been off birth control for a year and a half. we started really "trying" in May. its been four months in a row of disappointment. the first two months were the hardest. i would have myself convinced that we were pregnant. and when i found out i wasn't i would just ball. now I'm on to month five. i am starting to get concerned. i have planned on being a mom my entire life. i always looked up to my mom for being an awesome stay at home mom. its even the reason i went to hair school. i have always planned on staying home with my kids and doing hair to make money. now i have a house.... i am building a salon in my house... and i am not getting pregnant. :( what if i cant have kids??? i had never even considered this being a problem before. people tell me not to worry about it.. but its always in the back of my mind. i went to a friends house last night to see her new baby. i couldn't help but wonder what it would be like to hold my own baby in my arms. the thought of it never happening breaks my heart. :( i just don't understand why we cant get pregnant. it doesn't make sense that heavenly father would allow all of these 16 year olds and single moms to have a baby but not a couple who want it and have been sealed in the temple. i know we would be really good parents. anyways... i guess i will just keep praying and be patient and hope that it will happen for us. i know it takes people a long time sometimes but its just really hard. i just needed to vent for a minute.

we took this window out and installed french doors! it turned out so beautiful!
this floor was under the carpet. all we had to do was sand it and finish it!
the color i painted is called silver sage!
my mom helped me paint!!! ( when we were outside rinsing off the brushes, there was an enormous wolf spider on her back!!) haha!!!

this summer and my birthday!

This summer has been a busy one!! i have been working so hard on trying to turn one of my bed rooms into a salon. i really want to quit working at the salon and just work from home. i hired a contractor named ron to do it for me! he is the guy who built my parents house. its ended up costing an arm and a leg but i hope it will all be worth it in the end.
