What we have been up too........

It seems like life is just running so fast and we are trying to keep up. We have been up to so many different things these past few weeks, so I will try and get everyone caught up.
* I decided to paint almost all of the inside of our house about 3 weeks ago. What a big project. I have been wanting to paint really bad for a year now and Garrett just keeps telling me I am crazy and that he was not helping with this project. (I don't blame him we have painted so much in the past 2 years) but I needed color in my house the walls were all white I wanted something new. I knew I was not going to be happy so I just decided to go for it. I thought I will just paint at night when the kids go to bed. (I was wrong) with as much area that I had to do it took more then nights it took all my time. It took me 1 1/2 weeks of painting all day long to get it done. It looks great. I did the kitchen a olive brown, the living room, dining room and t.v. room is a cream with a touch of yellow, and then a few brick red accent walls. I am really happy with it, it was a big project and am very happy to be done. Garrett felt bad for me and decided to help out a little with the painting. I will post pictures later.
*Garrett attended Haz. Mat training all of last week. He says that it was a great class and he really learned alot from it. What I learned is that I love his Job. When he was doing this training all week we never saw him; he left at 6:30 am and got home around 7-8 pm. I would hate a everyday 9-5 job with only saturdays to do stuff (even though some days it's really hard having him gone 24hrs) . We love having him home on his days off.
*Started helping plan our 10 year class reunion. We had a meeting this last week to start to get things going. I can't believe that it is going to be 10 years this summer. I feel old.
* Garrett taught a CPR/ AED class, that is really nice having the extra $$$$$. That money will come in handy on our disneyland trip.
* Went to see Sarah run track, recomitted myself to running more offen.
* Planted our veg. Garden. I'm a little late in a few things but I think we will be ok. I can't wait to start eating from it. The girls are excited, to get strawberries soon.
* Played outside in 87 degree weather with the kids, got out the kids pool so they can start swimming. We love summer time.
