Now that you have had a tour of the inside, I  thought you might like to see the front of the house :) Another view of the front of the house (the yard is really coming along) And of course now for the fun part :) picture of the food table...I am starting to get it all set up! Nathan couldn't wait for the guests to arrive so he is snacking on some of the food.... I made a fruit flag (since the 4th of July is so close I thought I would do a red/white/blue theme.. This is a Red Velvet Cheese Ball,  it was so delicious!!!! Since we are having an open house, I thought it would be fun to make sugar cookies shaped like a house... My Mother and Father-in-law got us an  Edible Fruit Basket....Isn't it pretty? Nathan was being funny while we were waiting for the guests  (he kept sneaking food) Here is our friend Kristina and her baby Kobe  playing with some toys :) ...

We decided to have an open house to show off the house now that we are starting to get settled a little bit.  So I  thought I would post some pictures and let you have a virtual open house tour with me :) This is our guest bedroom, all set up and  ready for visitors... This next room is my craft room.  It is a work in progress, but slowly getting put together. This is the living room (notice the clock above the fireplace?)  My parents bought it for us since they live to far away to come to our open house :)  That was so sweet of them. Here is our guest bathroom :) And of course, the kitchen :)  I am decorating my kitchen in a coffee theme and red appliances. This is our entry way... As you come in our front door, immediately to the left is our stairway to go up to our bonus room. These are the signs at the top of the stairway :) Here is our game room... ...

So on our way home from our trip to Salt Lake, I talked Nathan into stopping by the Shoshone Falls and Dierkes Lake.   Here is the sign as you enter Dierkes Lake : ) I took a picture of Nathan as we were standing overlooking the lake.... Here is where they have sectioned off for  a swimming area.  To the right (outside of the picture) is a nice beach and an area where you can have a picnic... Then you drive down a little ways to the Shoshone Falls We parked the car and decided to walk down to  the lookouts.  Below is a picture as we were walking down to where you can look straight across at the Falls.... Isn't this just beautiful??? I love waterfalls! I thought this was really neat how there was a rainbow in the water... This is the other side of the river (the falls are on the left, outside of the picture) Look at the mountains behind the falls, and how the rive...
