Spring Break


Aida, Fiona, and Grandpa Jim at Sunset Beach


It was little chilly, but we managed to go on the one day it didn't rain. We met a family from New Zealand that was looking to move to the area. Have I told you that my children are not shy and will talk to anyone?!!
My Brother's(Joseph) Spring Break project for my mom. He dug out all the plants and put in back wall and front brick area with the rocks. It's taking shape. Fiona was out their helping him and earned $1.00 for being such a great helper to Grandma Judy and Joseph.


We also spent a day in Medford and visited Grandmie and Aunt Connie and uncle Richard. They made Easter baskets and hid eggs in the yard. We went and saw Cousin Brian's new condo. Very nice and yes, the Buffalo head has its own room!

We also did a little shopping and sewing. I'll post some pictures at a later date.

Easter Egg Fun






Last weekend we were down at my parents, and the weather was nice, so Grandma Judy decided to do Easter Egg with the girls. They loved it. They dyed them and then took turns hiding them in the yard and finding them.

It kinda reminds me of the annual Easter egg coloring and hiding that we did with the Leslie's. We'd dye like 12 dozen or more eggs and then hide them in the yard. We didn't always find all the eggs!

My friend Amy............




My friend Amy came to visit the first weekend of March, well she actually came to see her sister, but staying with me was the added bonus. Amy's sister is married to my Brother-in-law. She set them up and they ended up getting married!(And this week Tiana will be having their first child, it's all very exciting!) I haven't seen Amy in about 2 and half years, so it was good to see her. My girls still remember her and were very excited about the visit. She brought her daughter Mena who my girls just wanted to mother.

Bloomers


I made these for my niece Haddie for her second birthday. (Feb.25th) I thought they turned out so cute! I also finished another pair of pajama bottoms for Aida and am working on pair of pants for her and a small baby quilt for my friend Dawnell. I'll have some more pictures in a week or so...
