David and I are at crossroads. We're waiting to hear if he gets a job in Ohio working with his brother on computers. If so, we're moving across the country and starting a whole new life. If not, we may be moving to Salt Lake City pursuing jobs at the airport. Its much more expensive to live there, and the job isn't a perfect fit for David like the one in Ohio, but its a good change, the benefits are amazing, and we'd be much closer to the majority of our family.
I'm scared to death and the anticipation is painful. Of course, there's still the chance that both jobs fall through and we stay here in Burley. I guess we'll see.

Happy Birthday Brennan Martin Pigford!!




Getting up WAY too early for our long day of traveling home... so sleepy.
look at the green!
Miniature Golf!!
played this all day while Summer was a work, lots of fun!! (no, this is not the course we played on, shame on me for not taking many pictures. was hoping to snap a picture of fireflies, but they were too few and far between. according to National Geographic, that's our fault. We shine too many lights so they can't find their mates! thought that was interesting...and disappointing)
Concert! Yeah!


you can almost see the stage...should've had a taller person take the picture...
WE went to....
Dave
and Buster's

PRIZES!!!
Here's what we did in Ohio....

WE ATE!!!



So many new places that we've never tried...
and new chances to find out you have food allergies. Something German? At least I didn't swell up after eating at the melting pot. YUM!!

We're in OHIO!!! right here we're on a 1/3 replica of the Eiffel tower at kings Island amusement park. lots of fun, but lot's of heat. It was very windy up there, and it was just what we needed.

Closer look at my dad's hobby... pretty pretty!!




More pictures...

Here's Davy standing next to his half finished concrete project. My Dad bought a build it yourself shed and he's making the foundation for it. Lucky my dad needed this done right about when David got laid off for a few weeks. Now he's working part time at Thornton Construction and Thursdays and Fridays he's working on this.

Here's David's brother Daniel standing in our basement after they knocked out the wall. (see how Dan can hardly stand up straight!) We have big plans for this space...just not enough money. I guess it doesn't help in our savings that we're flying to Ohio to see Dan and his wife Summer next week, but we think it'll be well worth the trip. (We are so excited!!) Plus we figure we gotta do this stuff while we can.






This is an XBOX cover I painted for Lane with nail polish.
I drew this image he picked out^
free hand, traced with a sharpy, then did my best to copy the colors with layering of nail polishes.
My talented little brother cole painted the face plate. He's been doing that for his friends for a while, making a little profit here and there.

I got this idea from makeitandloveit.blogspot.com.
She had covered a wooden bead bracelet with some cute scrap fabric.
I didn't cover a bracelet, I stuffed it with some potpourri. It smells great and lasts longer than perfume.
I used a string of beads to help measure where to tie off the bunches, then added a bow to hide the ends.



Been Feeling a little crafty Lately...I got this idea from kari-youcanmakeit.blogspot.com. She posts lots of fun things from other peoples' blogs...like a creativity collector. These were real fun and SO easy.
