Decorating Updates

Here are just a few pictures of the new things we have done for the house. The Family room is still in progress and we're getting can-lights in the kitchen soon too. We feel very blessed to have had so much help in the up-dating process. (Thanks Kristy, Mom, Monique and Grandpa Barnes!)

My Mom made this quilt for Jane. She is amazing and we love it! It looks so good in her room over the crib

This is a shelf that I painted to go in her room - I think her blessing dress looks so cute hanging from the hook.

Kristy (Kevin's sister) has been helping design some things for us. She is an Interior Designer and was gracious enough to share her talents with us. She designed this wall and painted the sign you can see in the background (the unfinished family room part). She is AMAZING!

Grandpa Barnes made this box for me and I painted it to match the plaques on the kitchen wall...I still need some cute greenery to go in it. He's amazing too!

This is a shot of the front living room wall - my friend Monique has a Cricket and she helped me print out the vinyl lettering. Heather helped me pick out the curtains.

As you can see, I can't really do anything by myself...it's hard to trust my own judgement sometimes. Thanks again for all your help everyone!

BYU Football

As many of you know, we are HUGE BYU Football fans and are so excited that they're doing well. A couple weeks ago at BYU's season opener, we decided to take Jane with us to the game and Kevin's sister Kristy watched Emery for us. I made Jane a little "Y" onesie to wear to the game. Kevin was really proud of his little BYU-clad baby:) A few weeks before that we went to a Football opening party - mostly to pick-up Emery's BYU kids club packet and her football tickets. We didn't realize it was such a HUGE party - all the players were there signing autographs and there were game-worn helmets for sale...Kevin just had to put one on! I wish we could have bought one, but they were going for $250. Kevin was really tempted though:)

Here we are with Fui Vakapuna after he signed our game posters. We had a great time!

Bear Lake

So, I know it's been a while, but I'm finally in the blogging "mood" again...which means I have a few entries to catch-up on. About a month ago our family took a trip to Bear Lake for the Lundgreen family reunion. We stayed in a really nice condo in Garden City that had room for all 20 of us. Emery LOVED the beach and really liked to play in the water with her cousins. Of course, she had her moments though (she's two:). We went to the beach for three days and the first day was the only day we had any competition for our spot - there were only about 8-10 other families on the beach. The other two days were a bit cooler so there was only one or two other groups around. It was most school districts first week of school, so we think that lent to the vacancy of the beach area. The Kemp's (Kevin's sister) have 4 wave runners that were really fun to ride around and Grandpa Lundgreen brought his volleyball net. We had a great time playing in the sand and enjoying eachother's company!
