Our Summer Project

At the beginning of August the Jones' went on a family road trip... And Brandon, myself and baby Britain got to house-sit.  We kind of went crazy and chose to paint... A. LOT. we did the bathroom, the laundry room and a plaid wall in the addition... yes I actually said PLAID.  It was intense, it took more hours than I could have imagined... and here is how we did it:

Taped diagonal stripes all measured out

We painted inside every other line in a dry brushing technique

We taped and painted the opposite diagonals in the same way

Lots more taping for itty bitty lines in blue and red...
then we dry brushed the entire wall with tan paint

Then we did the same thing, but in bigger form

 So sadly... I don't seem to have a picture of the finished product. But basically the project made me hate plaid for a couple of weeks but it was awesome and so fun to work so hard with my wonderful husband and one of my best friends- my sister in law :)  Anyway here were some of the other fun times throughout our crazy two weeks:

Britain's feet prints!

Taking a break...

Just a snack... lol!

I just love the beautiful family that I am a part of.  I am so grateful that we have each other.  As much as I miss Utah, it is great to know I am part of a family here in Wyoming as well.   I especially love my little helper.  Come on, she is adorable covered in paint! Who wouldn't love her?!
