They like each other sometimes

Just proof that they do in fact like each other sometimes. They were 'marking their Bibles' together last night and fell asleep. Brian caught the picture on his blackberry.

What's your favorite room?

This is mine!

The crib is finally gone, and is replaced by my latest Craigslist find. This little vanity 30$. I just recovered the stool with the polka dot fabric today.



The big girls bunkbed.

Their little picture wall.



Fabrics that will be used for the duvet covers. I am such a sucker for polka dots!



Not too soon before I finished recovering the stool, Avery's dress got caught on the top rail and she fell off the ladder. I really thought it could have been broken. No swelling and little pain, so I'm crossing my fingers.

Quick Change

Amazing what a little blue dye can do....

Before :

After:




I took off the green buttons and just used a white fabric flower pin in its place. The green thread didn't change color, probably because it is polyester. But I think it makes it a little more interesting.

Easter Best

Happy Easter!

Outside Brian's parents Church Service.




Easter Baskets in the morning, we will call this the BREAKFAST OF CHAMPIONS.... and that is how they acted for the rest of the day. "Champions" as in crazy children with more energy than the Tasmanian devil. Just kidding. All things (meaning all the candy) considered, they were amazing.





At the Easter Egg hunt with Gaynea.



Inspecting our findings.....





This is my all time favorite Easter Dress. Avery wore this years ago, and hopefully Auri will wear it next year. I love the simplicity of it, with the little Easter Bunny on the front.


After church and Brunch at John and Patsy's house, we headed into Portland to visit with Aunt Sandra. Two of Sandra's daughters were there with their families. It was such great visit.






I thought Patsy and John looked like a very handsome couple.




My favorite pictures of the day. Sandra and Patsy with their Annual Easter hats. They put them on at the end of the day and broke into song and dance. Their laughter reminded me of me and my sisters. Their love and happiness is so apparent.



What a Young Spirit!!


Lastly, one of my baking highlights, Meringue Bunnies. Huge hit....to be repeated next year.
