Grandma Kathryn Visits!!

We were able to have a visit from Grandma Kathryn over spring break for a few days. We had so much fun were so glad to get to spend some time with her.

Happy Pi Day!

Since Michael works in a Math Department they, of course, celebrated "Pi day" a couple of weeks ago. Michael volunteered me to make an apple pie for the celebration, so I decided to try Pioneer Woman's Caramel Apple Pie...wow oh wow this pie is fabulous! Go to the store now, get the ingredients, make pie...you will not regret it!

Beautiful Spring!

We are really loving spring right now. All of the trees are in bloom and the weather is gorgeous! I always go back and forth on what is my favorite season between spring and fall...right now I am going to say it is spring!

Our Baby Hammock!!!

So, I have been hearing fabulous things about these baby hammocks that are becoming so popular, specifically the Amby and Happy Hangup. I wanted one so bad, but the price tag is pretty steep! So, after showing Michael what I wanted, we put our skills together (his=building; making something out of nothing, mine=sewing; supervising making something out of nothing) and came up with this!! It only cost us about 30 dollars and it works just like the expensive baby hammocks. It is spring loaded as well, so it undulates as well as swings. It also has a safety cable, just in case, and holds up to like 200 lbs. (hopefully we never have a 200 lb. baby though). Anyway, just thought I would show it off, I love it!

Organization Wednesday!

Well, this Wednesday, I didn't really have a plan for what I wanted to organize. But, after making my normal Wednesday grocery shopping trip and putting away food, I began to realize that I have bought double and even triple of some of the same things and that there was no room in my fridge. So I promptly decided the fridge would be getting the organization job for the week. It came at a good time too because I had just made this fabulous, oh so good, yummy yummy recipe, but in the process it had leaked in my fridge, so it needed a good scrubbing out too. So, here is what became of it. I also did the freezer while I was at it, but it didn't take much since we rarely freeze anything.

FHE

Last night, for FHE, we talked about Temples. We mostly used this lesson from Deseret Book. We also watched a short video on Temples and then the kids got to hang a photo of the Temple in their room where ever they wanted it. This was very hard for Mommy, since I kind of like to decorate "my way", but Lyna was so excited to get to put it where ever she wanted it, it made her feel very big and special.

The Galleria

Yesterday, we went to the Galleria in Dallas. It was fun, we took the kids to see a puppet theater show. We also ate at a yummy mexican restaurant there.
