August 2023

 


Thursday, August 3rd was now Mike's turn for a Colonoscopy... it went well & he'll be back in 7 years, instead of 10 because there was one polyp that was precancerous (which is more common in men).


HE DID IT!!! ;0)




They even have these little cars to help take back into surgery for nervous or scared children, we thought we might need it for Mike. But he powered through!

Thursday ended up being a LAZY day for both of us, after a late night & early morning!!!

Mike's been cleaning out his garage & prepping it and getting it ready to get the floor epoxied 
and redo his Mike's Mazda Man Cave
First to do- Prepping for new Bright WHITE PAINT







* BEFORE Paint *

* AFTER Paint *

It LOOKS SOOO GOOD!!! Its so much more brighter!



I mean, what MAN doesn't NEED a TV in their man cave?!?!?
And NOW, the Epoxy Scott did!
It looks so GOOD!

It's light & bright and JUST what we wanted!

Gracie's Bridal Shower that her family is putting on- Friday, August 25th from 6:30-9:30 in Ogden.

This date was changed from Saturday to Wednesday, August 23rd-

Tanner & Gracie went to Bear Lake with her family this year for their Family Reunion-
I also commissioned Bailey to make a drawing of this picture from our Moab trip, I love- She had to combine 2 pictures together of us because the black hoodies we were both wearing. 
(Our CA trip & Moab trip pictures) It turned out great!




Like I said, the doggies LOVE Mike!

And wouldn't you know it RIGHT BEFORE going back to school, I start to clean out the storage rooms...
These pictures are just a few that brought back some FUN MeMoRiEs-
Kids jersey's, girls unitards from gymnastic days, Family reunion Tshirts, Bailey's Super Cape etc



Home decor, yard signs, pictures, Holiday decor, card table & chairs from our wedding, 
Christmas stockings etc etc etc
Lots & lots of Clothes, shoes, & sleeping bags- the basement was a HUGE MESS until it was all taken to the DI and sold- even the bunk bed the kids slept in!




We ended up being able to sell this for $200 on Facebook Marketplace to a family that had a boy & girls and another one on the way- it reminded me of us!


A Thanksgiving list of things we are GRATEFUL for...

Then I came across all mine & Mike's boxes and boxes of cards, notes, letters, mix tapes

& memorabilia from our dating years!





And my Bridal picture...of me NOT HAPPY with my dress, Bailey said... YEP!
Alpine Days Parade sitting outside at Kim's house
The last float is the FOAM float & the kids LOVED it as always!
I sure LOVE Alpine!!!
My new school schedule this year-
I  LOVE this view too! Jone's Barn & Alpine Mountains

Gracie's brother, Nathan came home from his mission & they Celebrated his return & Farewell this weekend

Madi's upgrades to her car

A beautiful Rainbow the first Friday morning back, on my way to work-



Storage Room downstairs after it was ALL CLEANED & organized- NO MORE Monica's closet!
Working in the garage, putting storage cabinets together- IF they were delivered UNDAMAGED...


These 2 large storage cabinets were damaged in the delivery, twice now- Hopefully, third times the charm!

Speciality Painting (some subcontractors of Mike's & the same company that painted our house remodel, a few years back) painted our garage & then posted about it-



The Bachelorette Party Bailey put on for Gracie-
Wednesday, August 23rd 2023 from 6-8 pm















Bailey did an AMAZING job!

HOMEAID Diaper Drive @ AMFCU  Field



























Gracie's family put on a Family Bridal Shower for her up in Pleasant View at her Aunt & Uncle's Home
It was a Beautiful night, Gracie received a lot of GREAT gifts- Me, Bailey & Madi drove up & met Kelly off 4500 S, so we could carpool up & visit on the drive. Gracie headed up earlier the day because it was her mom's Birthday & she wanted to spend some time with her. 
 
It was a FUN night getting to know Gracie's family a little bit. 


A post from Gracie, saying she's feeling VERY Thankful for the weekend-

AFTER the epoxy was put down, and some stuff was put back & BEFORE the Car lift was installed

We had a few hiccups in the install, but overall everything went well & we got it figured out-
