Tape and Mud and a Litte Bit More.

Yesterday was a fun day.  My sister, Ami and her family came down to Provo to spend the afternoon with us.  It ended up being a lot of fun.  First, we took them to our house so that they could see where we were going to live, and the progress that has been done to it.  Once we got there we had to track through the 8" of snow that were on the ground.  We were hoping that we would find sidewalk while we were doing it.  Don't worry though, the snow hadn't quite hardened the dirt, so we found a lot of mud instead.  We got up to the porch, turned the knob on the front door, it was locked.  We couldn't believe it.  Chris tracked his was around the house to the garage, but it had been sealed off to keep the cold out so that things could dry better.  So he went around back to see if the sliding glass door in the back of the house was unlocked.  It sure wasn't.  We saw that every window was slightly cracked open though.  That gave me an idea.  Ryan and Chris lifted me up through one of the front windows so I could unlock the front door for everyone.  Breaking into our house for the first time. . .  Check.

Tape and mud is all done.

Even the ceilings are completed.

But it looks like there was still some work to be done.

 After we were done breaking into our house, we moved on to our next activity.  We decided to try this new place in Provo called, Color Me Mine.  It was actually a fun place to go.  Chris and I already want to go back and paint more things.  What you do there is pick out a ceramic sculpture, dish (cup, plate, etc.), different kitchen items, vases, you get the idea.  They have a lot of different options for you to choose from.  Once you pick out what you are going to do, you paint it anyway that you want.  They have a ton of different colors, and stencils, and different things to help you make your creation awesome.  After you are done painting it, you leave it there for a few days and they fire it for you.  Once that is done, you go and pick it up and it is super shiny and protected so that you can use it in your everyday life.

Ryan and Tyson were painting a basketball piggy bank.

The end result.

Kenlee chose to paint a dog.

Her end result.

Ami chose a really cute giant mug.

Her end result.

Chris and I chose a giant mug as well.

Our end result.

 We had a lot of fun painting our creations.  We are excited to go and pick them up to see them not so chalky.  After that we went to a new pizza place, well new to us.  It is call Malawi's Pizza.  It was really good as well.  In the end, everyone seemed to have a good time, and everything yesterday turned out fantastic.  I had a lot of fun and I hope that we can make Donio trips a regular thing.

The cute Donio family.

We had a great time.
