Nilsson News

This week we celebrated haircuts for all the girls!  We no longer look like shag-muffins!  We went with a pixie cut for Eliza and short a-line for Addy and the regular for me.  It is perfect for this hot summer weather that has decided to move in.
Garrett went on high adventure with the priests and teachers this past Friday and Saturday.  They went on a 53 mile bike ride to the hot springs and back.  All went well until Garrett's bike had a mishap which sent him flying over the handle bars and he landed on his head.  Thankfully he was wearing a helmet because the helmet got cracked and his head did not.  He is achey and sore and has a few scratches and bruises but it could have been a lot worse, so we are counting our blessings.
We got our shutters finally finished  and they are now hanging on our house.  We bought some shrubs and landscape rocks so now we are ready to put our front flower bed back together.
Things are busy but good.  Now for some pictures!

As you can see from the before picture, there used to be juniper shrubs, three burning bush and one huge crabapple stump.  They are now all gone and there are shutters on the windows that we made from salvaged pallets from our wood shed.
This is the first phase of our sunroom demo. It opens things up a ton and has made a huge difference!
Blah garage door and then....Fun garage door!


And lest you think we don't do anything, here is proof that we do a few fun things occasionally.

 At the local dairy getting some yummy raw milk or as the kids say "real cows milk"
 Doing a river run in at Henry's Fork

 Henry's first few words have been very important ones like, "dirt, hammer, ouch, and stuck"



 Beautiful Girls!
