Easter Weekend

By
We took a long weekend trip down to St. George over Easter to go to my new niece's blessing.  Almost the whole family migrated down and we had such a great time together.  It was gorgeous weather, almost like being transported to summertime.  We ate delicious food, played games, went to an egg hunt at the park, there was swimming, golfing, tennis (I didn't get pictures of the sporty activities), dying of eggs, church and might I add great company.  Prepare yourself for many pictures.

Before we headed down to Southern Utah, the Easter Bunny made an
early visit to our house so we had road trip treats and something to
wear for Sunday.  What a thoughtful bunny.

Meeting my new, little niece.  

My sisters and their babies.  There is so much cuteness in this picture.
It just so happened that Talena was also in St. George celebrating her
birthday.  I was excited that I got to go out to dinner with her and
other friends to commemorate the day of her birth.

At the Easter egg hunt at the park.  They let the younger
kids go first.  Here is Super R. showing me his full basket.
He also was quick to share the candy inside.
Too sweet.

King E and General J conspiring together on how to get the
most eggs.

This is one of my favorite pics.  Super R and B. Anu were so excited
to go on the big slide.
Getting prepared to make the jump.
I love this picture.  This is the face of a little boy in pure delight.
Me and Shel dying Easter eggs.  

Michele and Dr. C dying eggs.  He was the only other person who
was interested in helping us.
Our works of art.
After the blessing, we took family pictures
outside of the church.  Here is my
mom and me in our Easter attire.

Too much cuteness for one to handle.

Little Ry-Guy.

The proud parents with Princess C.

Me, Noelle and Baby C.

Mark and B. Anu.  Both are such characters, must run in the family.
Pretty Shel with her pretty little girl.
Excuse me, I mustache you a question. He he he.

The proud grandparents with baby girl.

Perfect way to end the day, with Easter dinner.

    Looks like you had a great Easter. I like how Danny's tie is coordinated with your skirt.

      Yes, the "Easter Bunny" planned that coordination. :)

Oh Crafty Trees, Oh Crafty Trees...

I've become a finals widow, if you will, meaning Danny is crazy busy trying to finish up the semester.  This has given me extra time to use my crafty skills to get our place Christmas ready.  My first creations were these little paper/foam trees.  I've seen a few variations online of this craft. I put my own little twist on it.  They are really easy to make, just takes some time. Here is what you need: Scrap paper Hot glue gun 1" Circle punch Foam cone (at most craft stores) Toothpicks Note:  You are going to go to the craft store to buy the little foam cone and you will see styrofoam glue and you will think to yourself that would be a good thing to buy for this project.  Don't!  I got the styrofoam glue and it didn't work at all.  Just go with your trusty glue gun, it won't let you down. I think it's pretty self-explanatory by looking at the picture.  You just punch circles out from the scrap paper.  Then hot glue th...

Things that brought me joy this week

By
This past week was Melina's birthday!  Since she lives far away, Talena and I put together a hula party in a box and mailed it to her.  We found all of these treasures at the dollar section at the front of Target.  My favorite moment was when we heard a lady gripe about how the discount section was full of a bunch of useless stuff that no one would buy.  At that very moment we turned the corner, with our hand basket full of awesome stuff we had found.  We just smiled. The party supplies The party agenda I was having a bit of a low evening and Danny suggested we go get my latest craving Sonic blasts.   (Ice cream + candy + whipped cream.)  I know you aren't supposed to feed sorrows with food, but this particular evening I made an exception.  Whoever made that Sonic blast was heaven sent.  It had more Reese's peanut butter cups than actual ice cream.  It's like they sensed my heavy heart and tried to heal it with choc...

Hello Sunshine

  I've had the book The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron on my bookshelf for a couple of years now. It is a program that is supposed to connect you to your inner creativity. It may sound a little out there, but sometimes I try out there stuff. So after reading the first chapter, I thought, why not? Creative endeavors always feed my soul and as of late, my soul needs some feeding. Part of the program is to take yourself on a weekly artist date. Dating myself to connect to my inner creativity? Younger versions of myself may have laughed at this, but the mom version of myself is excited about the idea of time alone .  In pure defiance of the snow I have seen almost daily for months, for my first artist date, I decided to get a pedicure. I mostly was there for the foot massage, but I figured if I make my toes sandal ready, then surely the weather will take the hint and spring will start making its appearance. (I know, I know, we need the snow, we are in a drought. All the lakes a d...
