As Time Goes By!!! (Catch Up)

Ok, so I know that I have done this once before, but this time is REALLY bad. I am a stay at home as most of you know, but I seriously have had no time to work on my blog, or when I have had time I have recently become a Face Book Junkie!! Sad I know, but I think it is fun to catch up with old friends. I am going to do a little summery of our last few months events.

In June we had the annual Wallace Family Reunion. It was Jon's year to host it and we spent a wonderful time up by Jerome Idaho.

On July 4th like we do every year we go camping with my Dad and Teresa and the John's family. Normally it has been in Driggs Idaho, but this year it was moved to Spencer Idaho which is clear up almost to the Montana border. We left for the weekend and had a great time. It rained alot, but it was still a lot of fun spending time with everyone and going four wheeling. We left that Sunday and once we got out of he canyon we received a phone call from my mom. She told Sam that she had gone over to our house to check on the garden and that the hot water pipe to our claw tub had broken and flooded our house. We had two inches of water upstairs and four downstairs. It was about a three or four hour drive to our house and Sam and I talked about it all the way home. Both of us could not wait to get home to see the mess. When I first walked into the house it smelled VERY musty and there were huge fans every were because my mom had to call a restoration company in to clean everything up. The carpet in the hallway and some of the master bedroom got wet, and of course everything in the bathroom. It really didn't look that bad to us at first and we packed up a couple of things to go to my mom's for the night since they turned the main water off until the pipe was fixed. The next day I called the insurance company and met with the restoration company. By the next day most of everything had dried out and it was horrible, paint was pilling off the wall and the bead board that was up in the bathroom was falling off the wall. The tile flooring was squishy when you walked on it. It just ended up being a lot worse then first expected. The restoration guy then told me it would take a week or two to fix everything...WHAT? I was shocked. So we ended up living in a hotel for three weeks, but we got a B E A Utiful bathroom out of it!!!

We had Jaxon's birthday party in the hotel, and the hotel was nice enough to let us have a swim party in their pool. They all had a blast!!!

Raylie's 1 Year old
I made Raylie's birthday cake and for my first attempt at fondant I don't think that it turned out too bad!!
She got spoiled by everyone, and had fun eating her cake.
