Life is Great in 2008

The theme for my family reunion fondly called the "Blood Drive" This is a group shot minus a few keys family members namely Bryce and Candice clan my dear husband Jeff and cute Brook and Rich I think Brandon weaseled out of it too but he was really there somewhere.

This is lovely I know but we were camping!!

This was the view from the camp site. We were in Fish Lake it was beautiful and a nice break from the humidity in Michigan. (This was last weekend I am just slow posting!!)

Seems like so long ago already! The cool beauty of Utah has not been good for our desert survival! You'll have to email us the not so pretty picture of us before we left. Brandon is actually in the picture and Camden and Tucker looking at each other is priceless. I was feeling bad we missed it but since we didn't get home until 10 as it was and had to buy a DVD player on the way to survive on more dark second in the van with Brant, it is good we were gone! He hates the dark, wonder where he gets that!? As always, pretty little girls in the new posts!

How to get Urine/Sweat stains out of your Mattress

If you have kids you have pee stains I know it. If you don't lucky you or you are a liar and in denial. I have pee stains on more than one mattress. I also have sweat stains on pillows because well I sweat a.lot . It's a gift I know. I digress. Anyway I have tried many different ways to get urine/pee out of mattresses and I have been very unsuccessful so I did a google search and what do you know? Another mom had pee stains too. So I borrowed her recipe and it totally worked so I am sharing it with you. All you need are these few house-hold ingredients and a spray bottle. I bought a really expensive one (NOT) I used one I had for my kids hair. It worked great. You will need: 3 Tablespoons Baking Soda 8 ounces Hydrogen peroxide 1 drop dish soap Mix together well and use right away. My mom discovered that if it is not mixed well the baking soda will clog the sprayer. You also can't store this apparently it doesn't last in t...

Master Bedroom Makeover Board and Batten

I highly recommend a few items although you don't HAVE to have them it just makes this project go so much faster. I bought a pancake compressor with three nail guns included saved me on this project and a miter saw. I bought both from Home Depot and they didn't pay me to say that it is just where I happen to shop. I actually had this all measured out and went to Home Depot and they cut the mdf primed boards for me. However I later purchased the miter saw and was then able to cut things right here at my house. The nail gun I used is a 16 gauge gun that can shoot nails up to 3 inches. I used a 2.5 inch nail to cover the thickness of the board and wall. Ok so I recommend deciding how you want your boards spaced first and measure and mark on the wall where you want them. I tried to do every 16 inches because that is how far apart my studs were but then I realized my wall wasn't an even length and so I have some that look a li...
