more and more primer and wall paper

Since it is soo hot outside and we don't get much time to work outside we have got a lot done inside. We have everything primed except our room and bath. That room right now is tolerable. But here are the other 2 rooms.

Plus we have most of the wall paper off in the craft room. As you can see it will need a little primer too. ;)

Here is our little girl. playing outside.
She wanted to "help" mommy and daddy paint Saturday when we finished priming. she kept bumping against the wall. Normally when i paint or prime, she just lays and is a very good little girl.. but she just loves her daddy and just loves to be around him.

And here is my downstairs... propane got spoiled and had 2 boxes at onetime to chew up.
Just like mommy she loves cuddling with blankets.
and likes to be just like daddy on the computer.
working away at whatever she does on the computer.

Painting and Priming

SO what a weekend! We went to the temple saturdy and played games at The McEwan's in our ward. :) we also ate out at Bill Miller's BBQ, which we hadn't been to yet.. and we got the 10 piece chicken tender special with a bucket of soda. Yes a bucket.

Here is the apple pie Daniel and I made for the 4th of July! It turned out great!
This is the skirt I sewed. I need to get a better pic. but it has pinks and green and a dark brown on an off white. I am so proud of it!
So Daniel's mom flew down Sunday night for a few days. Since we are in a stage 2 drought there were no fireworks, so we decided to celebrate by priming and painting our living room! So here are some before and after pictures. They of course didn't come out in the right order. But they are there. :) Daniel took Tuesday off too and it was so great to have mom there and Daniel off for 4 days!!! We also visited the food bank, Daniel's mom manages the Pocatello one, and went down town, and did a few things. It was tons of fun!

This is the best pic to show the color we painted. it is a golden tan. Much better than the green and orange.



So this is the sample for the kitchen. I'm thinking of doing this gray, and then 2 small walls a deep red for accent in the kitchen.

This is how my kitchen and the informal dinning room look... primed! Much better! :)




Primed the upstairs landing. Much better than before, see below
Before with the wall paper stuff and gross
So now I just have the bedrooms to prime. I forgot the pics but i have the half bath primed too. And we have colors picked for most of the house! I'm so excited to get it all painted. It will be much prettier and more us.
