♫ As Long as You're Mine....♫

Hello Everyone! 

Happy Summer! WAHOOO...this year is flyin' by! Here are some of the highlights of our summer thus far :)

Our Garden:
We were not going to work on putting in a garden this year, but the thought of home grown tomatoes and cucumbers convinced us to plant one. It started off a little slow, but before we knew it, we have bushes of tomato plants!

Melissa picking the first ripe one of the year!

Home Improvements:
We are constantly trying to do different things to our little house to make it more ours. We got our first piece of fine art (as mentioned in the last post) and we updated our laundry room. What do you think?




Automobile Changes:
Roxxie (our 2008 TSX Acura) went to the doctors for a good clean up. Since Christopher got her, she has acquired a few beauty marks including rock chips on the front bumper, a big chip out of the roof from a big rock on the freeway, and other scratches in the paint. Here is some pictures of the process...
















But in the meantime, we get to drive around in Lil' Bug!!!

We wanted to get a motorcycle, but decided that this cute little Del Sol would do the trick for us :)
We have already enjoyed going camping with it and on a nice Sunday drive. 

Lil' Bug

Lexi couldn't believe we bought her favorite kind of car!




WICKED
We also got the chance to go to WICKED at the Capitol Theater in Salt Lake City.

In our seats waiting for it to begin! :)


It was amazing! I am so glad that Emily and Andrew came with us! I can't wait to see it again!

Springtime at the Borget Home

Hello Everyone! It seems like its been a while since we have blogged. We have continued to work on our home. The newest addition has been our cute patio furniture and a painting for our front room.
We love it!
Alisha also came for a visit in May.We love her! We went to a new mall in Salt Lake City, the City Creek Mall. It was fun to go shopping with my sisters again.

Alisha, Me, & Emily
Christopher is such a good shopper!
















We have also really enjoyed going to all the homes of the Parade of Homes. We love going to look at some good ideas of how to make our house better and for future houses we may build. Here are some of our favorite features:)
Love the grand entry way

Christopher loves the waterfall features

A modern home decorated with a real plant wall. "Impressive"

Loved the huge shower!

On the 3rd floor putting green of one of the homes. Love the view!



We have also been able to go to our temple, the Oquirrh Mountain Temple. We love it there.
Temple where we got married :)

We have a lot of fun filled summer planned, so we'll have lots more to update on our blog. :)

Titanic Murder Mystery Dinner

 
Last fall We went to a murder mystery dinner hosted by our friends Michael and Julie.  It was so much fun.  We then decided that we should do our own.  After much thought and searching we decided to do a Titanic Murder Mystery dinner on the 100th anniversary of the titanic sinking.  We had a lot of fun.  We dressed up and ate lots of delicious food.  We had Christopher’s sister Emilee and Melissa’s brother Jonny be our servers.

Spring Break Family Visit!!!!

We love when family comes to visit! The Heckert Family (and Grandma & Grandpa) came to visit for Spring Break. It was a busy week with lots of fun things to do!

Christopher loved spending time with Drew and Dad. They went to eat sushi and shoot guns.


 

We also celebrated Drew's birthday by going to the Malt shop.
Emily & Lily :)






Papa & Melanie

The girls loved playing with each other. They are all growing up so fast!
Grandma made the girls matching Easter dress. We tried to get a group picture, but as you can see, there was a lot going on!
