Easter Day

This year's Easter Baskets were fun to make! Instead of getting Bexley a basket, I just filled a flower pot we had laying around with some grass (left) and made the other one with Claudia Lopez out of milk jugs (right). Cute, huh? Claudia is one clever lady!

Also, I finally bought Bexley the spiky ball she always plays with at the library. She played with it about the entire time of conference.

Mitch & I got some good stuff too-except I kinda misjudged how many bags of jellybeans it takes to fill a mason jar. And, I finally got a pizza cutter! Mitch disassembled mine last year for an object lesson...... It was a great lesson, but my pizza cutter never recovered. All in all, a nice, relaxing Easter.

After Conference we went for a walk & Bexley lived it up in the Boehmke's vintage stroller from the 70's.... It's the actual stroller Tim's Mom used to roll him around in...

A big upgrade from our Snap & Go!

Swingin' around with Dad.

Happy Valentines Day!

Mitch, Bexley & I had a great Valentines Day together! I don't know how he did it, but Mitch somehow bought and hide these beautiful flowers for me! I was surprised with them Valentines' morning with a cute card that had a picture of Rivers in it, looking guilty.... Evidently I would have had chocolates too, if he hadn't eaten them!

Since it was Sunday, we weren't planning on doing much. My friend, Michele Boehmke, and her family invited us over for dinner. Every time we go to Michele's they just have the best food! Her husband, Tim, made potato soup. He is a very good cook! Then, we had fun making pizzas and attempted to do some foot stamping of the babies.... For those of you inspired to get your baby's foot & handprints for your scrapbooks, I highly suggest doing it while their asleep! We learned the hard way! The footprints went ok, but the handprints were a nightmare! Both Bexley & Milo curled their hands shut & made it impossible to get a decent print!

Michele- your dinner invitation was an inspired one! Our oven "kicked the bucket" that night and is still not working! But, we haven't even had to cook since you feed us Sunday and we had the leftovers for dinner tonight!... Now just hope the repair guy shows up tomorrow and doesn't get snowed out like he did today! Thanks again!

Happy Valentines Day everyone!
