Our New Home/Project

Here is a picture of our New Home, we moved in about 3 months ago. Time flies by so fast when we have been trying to get the yard put together and extending the front flower bed and painting the shutters and fixing part of the grass. It seem like it never ends, but we LOVE it and would never go back. Lets hope that never happens. I will post more picture of the inside as I get things more done and organized. :)

Also I bought this really old Buffet table off KSL and put it in our Entry way. Before it was old looking not very cute, so I spiced it up a notch and Spray painted it yellow and I LOVE how it turned out. It took 3 cans of white primer and then 3 cans of yellow spray paint. One of my best friends from college told me about this website called allthingsthirfty.com.On there she tells you how to do all sorts of cool stuff. I was so excited when I realized I didn't have to sand the entire thing and paint it. I could spray paint instead. It was my first real spray paint project and I am so proud how it turned out.

Family Pictures

We had Family pictures taken awhile back the end of July. But never got around to posting since we have been so busy working on our house and the yard. Here are some pictures of the boys. They looked so Handsome! I must say their wives are very lucky girls. Eric and I did some good work! :)

The last month!

This last month has been CRAZY busy in the Halvorsen household. Over Labor Day weekend we had our BIG family Reunion that we always have. This year my Family was in charge of it. Our theme was "Pass It On". We had a blast! My little brother ended up making a slide show of all the 69 people who came and it turned out awesome. We had all the family members send in pictures of them and their children, and a quality. My brother then put the quality on the "Pass It On" slide show with there quality. It was so neat to see all the different personalities and people we have within our Family ties. Some of our favorite are, homemade ice cream, homemade fruit roll-ups that my grandma slaves over making for everyone, the saw dust hunt. We have done this every since I was a little girl. My grandparents always bring up a big pile of sawdust then fill it with money and candy for the kids. We divide up by age and each group gets a turn to DIG in. The programs we have in the mountains at night are beautiful! Just being with everyone is so much fun. You start to realize what life is all about. So hip hip hooray! We did it and aren't in charge for 4 more years! One more thing we had Hoe Down this year and it was so much fun! Our cousin Brett who is in the picture dressed up and it was HILARIOUS!! We had a blue grass band and the hole shebang!
