Four Wheelin' With the Lambs at Lamb Springs!

We recently went four-wheelin' with Grandpa Dar & Grandma Lamb. Kelly & Mesia came along and we headed out by Lamb Springs. We were going to go to the petroglyphs, but we were all too lazy to hike down to the one's we went to, so we went out a little further and went down this creek bed to look down into Water Canyon. Uncle Kelly kept a close hold on Jentry so she could see the bottom.

Headin' back up the canyon - Jeff giving Dallen a little help up a steep rock and Grandpa Dar giving Grandma a heart attack.

Mesia & Jeff and Dallen making their way up out of the wash after shuffling quads to help Dallen get up a couple steep parts.

Kelly & Sisi following close behind. Jentry was with me bringing up the rear with the Jeep.

We all had a great time even though it started getting cold!! First quad ride of the year!!! Yeah!

Birthdays at the Millett Homestead!!

On March 14th we went over to Parowan for Baylee and Beau's birthday party. The kids had so much fun playing!! (We really don't get together often enough.) Buddy saddled up a couple of their horses and the kids all took turns riding and having a great time!! Luke sat and had little talks with Pappo and Uncle Jeff. He is such a cutie! Saige ran right through a big mud hole and was very upset about it! Dallen seemed a little nervous up there on that big animal. Sierra liked it pretty well. But Jentry was the one who absolutely LOVED it!!! (They rode horses one day at preschool and at first she didn't even want to give it a try. I finally convinced her to let me put her on and walk beside her. After that, she wouldn't let anyone else have a turn!!) She had a blast at Buddy and Tami's and even wanted to run. So, Buddy and I tried running the horse around and finally Tami got out there in her nice sandals and ran them. They had a great day. It was very nice to get together with everyone!! Thanks Tami - you and Buddy are the BEST host/hostess!!! (Great sloppy joes and salads!!)

Bathroom Re-Do!!

Well, it's been awhile since I posted, but wanted to get a couple pictures on of my updated bathroom. We have had these bright daisy digs for a few years now, but I felt like it was time for a change. Besides, I really needed to scrub mildew spots off the ceiling and walls (embarrassing, I know) with bleach and fix some spots where the paint was peeling. I got to work on the scrubbing and scraped and re-spackled some, and then painted (first with two coats of KILZ then two coats of Brazilian Tan-or-something). This process took several days with letting spackle dry, then KILZ dry, then the paint dry. But in the end it was worth it!! I was also going to paint the vanity cupboard, but got lazy and decided I didn't want anything darker than what we already had. I just put some new, updated handles on the doors and it looks alright.

And this is what it looks like now. I love the tan color and it almost matches the orange bathtub and sink - but not quite as orange. I saw this "hearts and stars" shower curtain in ABC back in July and also the valance a while later and decided that I wanted to have it for my bathroom. Of course, I do love red!! I got dark red rugs and the brown towels look really nice. I also found a cute star in ABC and hung it above the toilet. I didn't have anything up there before, and it has a red and off-white checked piece of cloth wrapped around it in a bow, so it matches great!! I am very excited to be enjoying my bathroom now. It is a little darker in there now, but it also feels a lot more cozy than the stark white walls before. I love it!!!
