Easter Sunday

My photography skills are majorly lacking, but at least I remembered to take a picture before church.

Easter Part-ay!

Another great Easter party at Grandma and Grandpa's house. We had a smaller group this year, but still loaded with fun.

Greg, Piper, Cannon, and Harper. Angie and Qiana. Grandma and Grandpa. Aaron, Kim, and Elsie.

Easter Egg Hunt. Pinata. Games. Bubbles. Silly String. BBQ Hamburgers and Strawberry Pie. Beautiful weather!!

dying eggs

Lots of fun dying eggs with Grandma and Grandpa.

The New House

Here's the new house! I wanted to post pictures because I love to see where/how people live. I like to be able to picture surroundings.

It's two finished levels, and an unfinished basement.

The upstairs family room. Just like we had it set up in Idaho.

This is Elsie's toy closet and play area. It's really just an extension of the family area. She loves having all her stuff right where the action is, and I love having a place to store it all that's not her bedroom.
The third bedroom. Just an office/storage area right now. We need to buy a desk and hang some stuff. But very functional for now, and I love functional!
So I'm not the best picture taker, so I hope Elsie's room pics look okay. We're really happy with what we've done so far, but have a little more work to do. I want to add some more purplish-pinkish accessories and some really cute curtains.


The purple and white quilt on the bed was made by my Aunt Gail for my wedding. I'm so happy we now have a bed where it works so well!
Our bedroom, bathroom, and humungous closet are upstairs also. We haven't done anything cool in there, so I didn't feel the need to take a picture.

In fact, as I look at these pictures, I keep thinking it doesn't seem like we've done a whole lot. But we have!!

So now we go downstairs. Yes, a big empty room, and it will be that way for a while.

The dining area. We've lost our motivation to hang stuff. I think it's because I really want new stuff, but that's going to happen any time soon. I need to get over that!
The 1/2 bath. Just had too show at least one bathroom, and it was the cleanest.
And the kitchen. I've loved the island. Elsie loves to sit at the counter and hang out while I'm doing stuff.
We just love it!

a little Christmas video

I came across this video of Elsie singing some Christmas songs. You may notice that she throws in a little Bing Crosby version (including back-up singers) into the mix. We love Bing!



(I am playing major catch up on the blog, so sorry about all the Christmas posts!)

By the way...we moved!

We have had quite a busy month so far, and we are loving every minute of it. We moved into our house in Spanish Fork on January 28th (Paxton's bday). It is great! It's a much bigger space than our Nampa house. I've got a place for everything, and lots of empty space for when we're able to fill it. There's even an unfinished basement for storage.

We finally have high-speed internet, which explains why I've actually been motivated to blog. :) We have yet to get any satellite/cable, so we've been watching lots of movies and using our normal TV time to get stuff done around the house. Lots of projects, putting furniture together, hanging pictures, cleaning, etc. Our favorite thing so far is Elsie's bedroom. We have a few more pictures to hang, and then I'll post some pictures. It's quite adorable, if I do say so!!

Now, everyone, come visit!

Love ya

I'm not super big into Valentine's Day, but I've got to give a shout out to the one I love.

Aaron -
You make me laugh. You put up with my craziness. You work hard. You take care of us. You make me happy. I love you!
