It's so hot

This is what happened to my soda, in my van

And...

Back in Utah

I had a great time in Washington. My sister and I were sad it when it was time for me to leave. Tuesday as we were cooking dinner, my niece was helping. I grabbed my phone to take a pic, and we got photo bombed.

This was while dinner was cooking 

Hubby flew in Wednesday. We then met up with a co worker to get two puppies. They did great on the drive down. We also picked up my father in law. He has some health issues, so we are going to see if we can't get them straighten out.

It was in the nineties when we arrived Thursday. My body was in slight shock.

We filled up the swimming pool for the dogs..

They love the water.

Friday we purchased curtains and a curtain rod for the living room. That has made a huge difference. We have an AC unit, but it's too small for the house. We ran it for a couple hours Friday and Saturday. We haven't needed to run it today. It was 95 today. I don't want an astronomical electric bill.

We have a little swamp cooler. Part of the bottom broke. Hubby took it apart to see if he could fix it.

 Notice the cat is supervising 

Luckily we were able to fix it. It has been helpful!

Back in Washington

Yesterday the boys and I drove up to Washington. It took us 11 1/2 hours to drive up.

The drive was good, except my left arm and part of my left leg got really,really sunburned. I put on aloe as soon as I got to my sisters, but it still hurts. The crazy thing was I didn't have my arm hanging out either.

Here's a picture, Andrew took it when we were in Oregon 

My niece started yelling when the boys and I arrived.

My nephew was excited to see my kids as well. The first thing he did was take Andrew and Ryan to go play with his Legos.

Andrew built him an airplane out of Legos which he has now played with since Friday

Here is my newest high school graduate. He leaves for the navy the beginning of August!

Today's project...

Finally Sun

After 4 weekends of rain, we finally get a sunny weekend. We have had some incredible lightening storms

We are working on fencing the back forty, we have had skunks around our hen house.

Looking forward to a productive weekend!

Goal for this weekend

I was wanting to finish cleaning up the back yard this weekend, since hubby and I both have a 3 day weekend. Mother Nature obviously has other plans, and it is raining. In fact, its suppose to be wet all weekend. That's ok, because I have lots of projects to do inside the house.
My goal is to paint the laundry room. We are looking for some light fixtures in between coats.
I will post pictures later.
Have a great weekend!

Laundry room

My laundry room is large. And ugly.

Half of the room had linoleum, the other half was cement flooring. At one time it was carpeted, but the drain out back became clogged and it flooded. The carpet was ripped out. 

Notice the flooring, or lack of?

I found some self stick tiles that I liked. I purchased some.

I began to lay them.

Hubby spent most of yesterday scraping up the old floor. It was glued to last :)

It was super rainy, so that cancelled our outdoor work plans.

I am happy how this turned out. I need to buy new trim and paint.

That will probably be next week.
