I was reading what Greg had blogged on the way to Park City, and I wanted to get one thing straight... "We" did not paint the kitchen cabinets. Greg did it as a surprise when I was in Arizona! When Vella and I flew into Salt Lake Greg kept telling me about how messy the kitchen was and how he was trying to organize so everything was out of the drawers, etc. I was kinda bummed thinking about having to clean that all up. We got home and to my surprise the cabinets were painted white and the kitchen was super clean!!! Greg did an awesome job!! Our kitchen looks great and that was the best surprise.

Our trip to Park City was a lot of fun. It was so nice to see all of the family! I look forward to seeing them again for Vella's Baby Blessing.

Oh.. and my baby weight is coming off. I am so happy! I thought it would be a lot harder to lose. I guess I am just lucky. 46 lbs down 12 to go

Jay Updates

To the right we have cucumbers moving left, onions, Anaheim peppers, carrots, and corn.

Our raspberry patch we transplanted from Grandpa Thompson's garden. We have eaten about 10, yummy yummy.

Close up of some of the raspberries.

This picture is left of the first one, it is the corn, carrots and jalapeño peppers, romaine lettuce, more onions, and what is left of our radish patch.

Our tomatoes or further left and this is what they are looking like right now.

Here is a picture from the opposite end, you see more corn, strawberries, tomatoes then the plants from the other pictures.

Grapes are looking awesome this year especially for whacking them back so much.

We painted our kitchen cabinets white. Looks bigger. Now we just need to paint that red above them, change our counters, and put up a tile back splash and our kitchen will be legit.

I updated all this while driving in the van headed to Park City Utah for the family vacation. Lindsay has her Droid phone which you can hook your laptop up to and get internet access. What a cool thing!! Thanks Lindsay for letting me borrow this while you napped.

Daddy and Vella

Well, here are a few pictures from our trip to Arizona! It was a lot of fun. We did lots of swimming :) The picture below is of a day trip we took to Globe. We were able to see old Indian dwellings. Well, the baby is awake!

No Blogging

Well we have been keeping busy but not blogging it. Alexis went to Arizona for 2 weeks to help her mom out and show Vella to her family. She had a good time and I am sure she will blog some of the pictures and what not why she was there. When she was gone I worked in Grand Teton National park and Jackson hole a lot but while I was home I painted the kitchen cabinets white. I will get a picture now that I have the camera back. Mom and Grandma Whiting came over and refinished our kitchen table and it looks amazing, like a whole different table. I wish I had some before and after pictures to contrasts the difference. After work today I will take some pictures of things and update the world. I received a call from Jay the other day asking about my garden, I guess I could slap a couple of pictures of that up also.
