Boating in June 2013 Picture Overload

Anne Marie and Paul invited us to go boating.  Our little family had  a lot of fun.  Here is a bunch of pictures.  I have a ton o Paul because he was a jumping machine and none of Jake because I didn't get my camera out until after he wakeboarded.

On the drive down, in our shades.

The sun was bright

Annie and Addy, say that 10 times fast :)

YAY, I got up :)

Trecia, I missed your jump.

Jake and Paul slowly got Drake in the water by lowering him in while he was splashing his feet.

The ride back in, the wind in his face

Due to the windy ride back and sunscreen his hair was sticking up

We unexpectedly stayed the night at my parents.  Later that night, Drake rolled off the bed and got a really bad bloody nose.  When we turned on the light we were worried he had split his head open because there was so much blood on his face. But this kid is a bleeder.

Carpet Time!

YES! We officially have carpet back into our trailer.  It looks great, I am excited! Although it is light, it isn't as light as in the pictures it is a tan color. If you look at the last picture of the blue room, it is more accurate because there isn't as much sunlight overexposing the picture.

And I would have loved to gotten a darker color, but the darker the more expensive.

So, more problems came up.  Kade has to redo the plumbing in most of the house, so we are waiting for that.  But we have a new toilet installed, although I don't have a picture. HAHA imagine that.

We also I working on finishing (staining) our cabinets.  So, we won't move in until I have revamped our kitchen.  But I would say a week or two until we are living in Monteview.

So, as always nothing goes as planned and there is always more work then initially anticipated, but we are excited that the carpet is in and that the house already has a different look/feel. :D

Update for May and June

I feel like I haven't blogged in a while...although it hasn't been too long.  This last week feels like a month has gone by!  So, I don't remember what I have posted about.  We were supposed to be moved out  Friday May 31 from our rental, but it took an extra week for things to happen. We had everything moved but the house needs some cleaning done, on the smoke covered walls.

So aside from boring house updates, we have kept busy.  On memorial day, the hubs and I went four wheeling with Annie, Paul, Jake, Trecia, and Chard.  Everyone rode a bike/four wheeler by themselves, except Trecia.  She had me on the back of hers.  My mom was awesome and watched our kids and I had so much fun.  We had some close calls, a cow jumped in front of us and we almost tipped the four wheeler but that is part of the adventure.   I sadly didn't take any pictures.  I was worried about keeping my camera safe, I will bring it next time! We were so dirty all of us were caked in dust. We looked like we were wearing dirt foundation.  It was quite the ride, clear up a butte, but not busy with the memorial day crowed like I had anticipated.

Then Tuesday of last week the 28th I got my hair cut and colored (for family pictures).  So I just stayed at my moms with the kids and got it done.  I really like how it turned out this time.  Every time I trim my hair I want to cry, it just seems so short.  :)  But I think this is the longest my hair has gotten, it has a tendency to break off.

Then Friday May 31st came and we moved in to Kade's parents house.  Just a few cloths, not much.  And I have found that I really enjoy nap time.  All 5 kids in the house are quite and I can think.

Saturday, June 1st I went to Lava.  The hubs was kind and helped me with a wedding shoot.  It was a huge stress, and I am glad it is over.  Weddings are a little stressful. :(


My mom was awesome again, and watched my kids for me. :)






While in Lava I tried Thai food for the first time, it was a great experience.

This first week of June has been busy.  We are gone every night to clean the rental or work on our future home/trailer.

Then the 10th I started the scariest thing for me, swathing.  Tony my brother-in-law asked me a year ago, I brushed it off because I didn't think I would have a babysitter.  But they took care of that and I survived first crop and really enjoyed myself.  Alone time is golden.

I finished first crop on the 17th around 11pm and was relieved, but as soon as 2 days passed I missed it.

The only picture I took all of first crop...the flat tire.

I have kept busy since, editing wedding pictures...O MY that is taking a long time :D

While I was swathing, most of the house/trailer work came to a halt.  We are waiting on electrical to get carpet and move in.  We waited on the power company for a while.  Finally, we got it working on the 15th but couldn't get carpet scheduled till the 27th.  We have been working on replacing broken plumbing and toilets.



Wednesday the 12th Kevin proposed to his girlfriend  Harmony.  They are getting married August 30 in California.

Thursday the 20th we took family pictures.  I am excited to see if they turned out. Sneak
peek.  And a huge thanks to Alyssa from Alyssa Richardson Photography for the pictures.   https://www.facebook.com/alyssarichardsonphotography?ref=ts&fref=ts

I took these last two

Then this last Sunday the 23rd my cousin Colton gave a talk in church.  He is on his way today to London England South mission for 2 years.  It was good to catch up with my extended Kunz family.

Wow a month in review it looks like.  Man I hope I do better this month with blog posts :D
