A Few projects I've been up to...

Finally I am showing you Kaisleys big girl room! Kaisley loves her new bed, and I had a lot of fun making it special for her! The other project I did would never of happened if it wasn't for my amazing talented mother! While we were home in Boise a few months ago, I had my mom help me sew the cushion cover, well it fit like a glove and I was so pleased with the outcome! After a lot of elbow grease, achy back from bending over in strange positions, lots of sand paper, tons of staples, two coats of nasty toxic stripper, and one can of my new favorite product BRIWAX...I can now say it was all worth it!!

Kaisley's new BIG girl room!





The Before...
And After!
I am in love! I told Chris we will never get rid of this chair, I put way to much time and effort into making it exactly what I wanted that I don't think I could ever part!
I can finally say it was all worth it!
I was wondering...for a while if I should of just chucked it in the dumpster!

Happy Mother's Day!


(Only one missing is Mary...she must have been taking the photo)
I came across this picture today and was reminded of that very special evening I spent with all the women who I love and look up to so dearly...gave me the most encouraging love, support, and most of all inspiration; just a few weeks before I became a Mother.
Being a Mother is the most wonderful calling in the world and I am so happy to have a day to celebrate all the amazing women who have made me the mother I am today. So Mom, Jenelle, Mary, Cindy, Kristie, Emily, Grandma, Fay, Amy, and Julie I am thinking of all of you on this special day...you all have a special place in my heart and have helped me be the woman and mother I am today. I wish we could all celebrate together but we can't and so I just get to pretend ;) I miss you all so much and am so proud and grateful to be apart of such a powerful and loving sisterhood! Happy Mama's Day to you all!

Easter! A week late...

Okay, there are a ton of pictures in this post! We had so many festivities for Easter, I couldn't leave any of them out. Enjoy!

I had a Easter Party for Kaisley and some of her friends, it was a lot of fun...but I think Kaisley may appreciate it more when shes a little older, having 5 extra kiddos around in one room doing "projects", is a bit challenging I must admit...All in all it was so much fun.

Kaisley, Cambrie, Hunter, Tessa, and Gabe
Aren't they so cute with their GIANT bunny ears!


Kaisley all ready for the Egg Hunt!

Hunting for the best eggs!

Easter Morning!
Easter Bunny has come...

Following her trail of eggs the Bunny left behind...I wonder where it's leading to?

down the stairs...
Easter Bunny treated Kaisley really good this year, can't you tell shes happy with what she sees!

Kaisley immediately put on her dress up! She loves to dress up!
Look at that silly face!

Hunting for more eggs...

I know crazy, two baskets...she loves to hunt for eggs so the easter bunny made sure she had a Hunt! Ps. they don't all have candy in the them

Ready for church!

Our attempt for a family Easter Sunday photo...not to bad for a self timer snap shot...

Daddy and Kaisley after church...
We had a wonderful Easter weekend! We celebrated Easter dinner with our wonderful friends Burry, Melissa, Ryan, and The Taylors. We ate a yummy traditional Easter dinner, and finished it off with Melissa's yummy chocolate cake! Hope you all had a wonderful Easter, we miss you!
