Pineview

We went to Pineview reservoir Sunday for Tim's birthday. Can't say it was the friendliest spot for windsurfers. They weren't going to let us park our trailers because they weren't "boat" trailers. Then they eventually decided we could park them after we said we wanted our money back. It was quite confusing but eventually we made it to the beach. That's all the kids cared about. It was a nice sandy beach and the reservoir was pretty but way too many motor boats and jet skis for such a small reservoir.

Okay, I know it looks like an empty lake but there really were a lot of boats!

Finally got him to wear the life vest

Bear Lake

We went camping at Bear Lake with our friends Andy, Michelle and Sophia this week. Jackson loved the beach.

What's better than playing on the beach in your PJ's

We stopped to get raspberry shakes

The KOA campground where we rented the bikes had a bouncy thing for the kids. Jackson and Sophia LOVED it

Jackson, do you like camping?

Me windsurfing

Windsurfing

We finally got a chance to go up to Deer Creek and windsurf this weekend.

A firefighting helicopter picked up a load of water while we were there. They were fighting the bridal veil falls fire.

Tim coming in. He's on a small plane (fast enough for the board to skim the water and the nose to come up).

Heavy Lifting

We've started the bathroom re-model and the other day my husband decided to remove the 300+ pound cast iron tub by himself! Despite my protests he got it out. Any volunteers to help him put in the new tub?

Memory Tag

Here are the rules:
1. Add a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!
2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments. I can't wait to see what people remember.

And the winner is.....

Since the blog poll resulted in another tie....I went with my gut and went back to white. It's not totally obvious in the picture but the white paint on the shutters is brighter than the house so now I'm still not sure. I guess I could always wait for them to get dirty enough to match the siding.

Opinions please!

Tim and I have been discussing this for a couple weeks and we've decided we need a third opinion. We decided to paint the front door and Tim really wanted to paint it green. I'm fine with the green front door but not so sure about the green shutters. I think there is too much white on the other side of the door for the shutters to be green. It's not balanced. Tim likes the green shutters. Therein lies the disagreement and I have resisted putting a second coat of paint on the shutters until we decide if they will stay green or go back to white. So we need your honest opinion! Should the shutters be green or white?






Here's an old picture for reference.
