Decorating/painting the piano!

I decided that since we had lived in our house for more than 4 years it was time to decorate and hang a few things on the walls. I picked out some cute fabric and had my friend sew some curtain panels for me, I ordered decroative pillows, hung some stuff on the walls and decided to paint my piano. This was highly uncharacteristic of me but I found some stuff called chalk paint that was very easy to work with and you didn't have to do any sanding or strip the paint before you started. It also dries in 20 minutes so you can complete a project pretty quick. I really wanted to do bright yellow to match the curtains and some wallpaper I found but I was out-voted and my family chose blue. 

Right in the middle of my piano project my peaches were on so I went back and forth between the two. My dishwasher also broke so it was crazy. Everything was so messy and stuck for a few days. We had about 400 peaches from our 2 peach trees and they were SO delicious.

We also ordered a new bookshelf to hold all of the violin stuff and painted all of our walls. It finally looked like we lived there. 

July in a nutshell

Here are some random pics from July

Syd danced on the table.

We went grocery shopping

We rode the golf cart with our shades on. Everyone thinks the babies are so cool because they always wear their sunglasses. The truth is that syd can't handle the sun in her eyes. She says while screaming, "it's too bright for me".

We spent lots of time in the pool. Dalton and syd are daredevils and jump off of the highest spot!

We worked in and ate from the garden!

Still have binkis:(

This picture makes me laugh because I think it's SO cute but everytime they see it they say, "we were fighting". As soon as I snapped the picture they had a HUGE fight.

We played on the hallway mattress! Must have been left out after someone came for a visit!

More sunglasses and binkis

Snuggles

LOVE THIS PICTURE! everyone holding hands.

Fell asleep standing up. Then fell on the floor.

Boating with the Phillips

We were finally able to find a time when we were all available to take the boat out with the Phillips family. It was late July and Buena Vista was VERY low. The kids had a blast on the skis and tube and we enjoyed being together-as always. 

I took more videos than pictures that day so I don't have many:(
