Water Park Fun

I was off on Monday since we had two weddings this weekend so Sheridan and I went to the Brushy Creek water park with Sara and Natalie. Sheridan wasn't too crazy about it at first. She only wanted me to hold her and did not want down. So I stood there, holding her while Natalie played. Then Sara and I decided we would take a break and eat our picnic lunch in the shade. After lunch we tried it again and this time I sat down (with Sheridan in my lap of course) and splashed in the water which Sheridan thought was fun and just like the bath tub so she quickly warmed up to the idea and was off playing in all of the water spouts! The girls had a blast and Sara and I enjoyed getting to spend time together! It was a great afternoon!



Put me down...I must go play!

After working all weekend with weddings on Friday and Saturday, I was so excited about spending all day Sunday with Sheridan and Cameron! Our morning consisted of our usual weekend routine...lounging around in our pj's, watching cartoons, reading the paper, and eating a yummy breakfast. Of course I took out the camera and snapped away while Sheridan did her thing. As you can see she doesn't sit still for very long and her new "trick" is climbing up on the furniture.

Since it was Father's Day, we went to Temple to have dinner with Cameron's family and my parents came with us. We had a great time and Cameron and I got to enjoy a dinner without cutting up someone else's food or picking stuff up off the floor that was purposely dropped because Sheridan sat between Cameron's parents!
If only we could all be this flexible!

My Tool Time Tim

My handy husband has proven himself once more with his latest project...tiling our bathroom. I admit, I had my doubts when he first started talking about all of these projects he was going to do himself. I'm not from that school of thought so this is all new to me.....my dad operates under the theory of paying people to do big projects like this (well, any project big or small for that matter) and that's what I'm used to. However, Cameron did a fantastic job and I love my new bathroom!! We are also going to use the same tile throughout the rest of the house. Stay tuned for that end result....




Our new countertops

We (and by we I mean Cameron) have started all of the remodeling projects we've been wanting to do for quite some time. First order of business was getting new stainless steel appliances for our kitchen which included a dishwasher, oven and microwave. Then we had new countertops put in! I was so excited that Cameron was actually going to pay someone to install the countertops since he insists on doing all of the home improvement projects himself! He did do the demo work himself but the installation he avoided! I absolutely love the new countertops!!! I can't believe we waited so long to get rid of those yucky white ones! Eventually we will redo the backsplash and in the next couple of weeks Cameron is going to paint the cabinets an off-white color and install tile!!!

Let the demo work begin.....

Fun Day Mondays!

One of the things I love about my job is being able to have Mondays off after working a wedding on the weekend! For one day I get to pretend I'm a stay-at-home mom and it's always my favorite day of week! I cherish these days with Sheridan! Typically, we have a very relaxed morning and will either run errands during the afternoon or get together with friends (both mine and Sheridan's friends, of course!) or my mom. I even enjoy going to the grocery store on Mondays! Last week on our fun day Monday, we had lunch at TGIFriday's with my friend, Amy and her daughter, Taryn. Amy is a teacher so she is off for her much deserved summer vacation. Taryn has always been great with baby Sheridan (as she calls her) and Sheridan always laughs and loves being entertained by Taryn! They just love each other and you can see it in this picture!
