Easter

A little late Eh?
Well we had a fun Easter this year! We headed up to Pine Valley to spend time with the Jones Family. Like every Jones family party, there was a ton of delicious food, crazy kids, and four wheelers.
It was cute watching all of the kids color eggs inside... while the "Easter Bunny" hid eggs outside.

It was also fun to watch the kids on their egg hunt.

It's crazy how old my sister and cute cousins are getting.

That is how i felt too!

Something New

AFTER

Boy I love Spring Break!

Something Old

Do I look worried?

Well I should be! Guess what the Mr. did now?

Does that give you a hint?
Out of the blue we met a guy about a truck
Kicked the tires...
Honked the horn...
I couldn't burst his bubble, so I went along with it. The Mr. bought himself a work truck.
SOLD!

We filled it up with gas... doubling the value of the truck, and headed home. As the clouds started to roll in, we were grateful that we checked the window wipers before we bought it... but we didn't expect to have them to short out when they got wet... oxymoron?
So I spent the next hour reaching out the window pulling the wipers up and down so Jon could see to drive.
I'm just glad that we thought it was so funny.

So I guess that the moral of the story is.... have fun when things don't go your way. At least Jon was happy and I got a good laugh while watching him trying to act like a redneck.
My mother was so proud.

Take a minute to smile!

It just made me smile. So I thought I'd share. P.S. I have some pretty wonderful pictures of my spring break, coming soon. I bet you can't guess what we did!

Meet the Moores

The Moores are such a great family! They are laid back and fun to be around! Please visit their adoption website HERE! This wonderful couple is ready to have a special addition to their family!

These are a few of my favorite things!

I love design. I'm not amazing at it, but I sure like to create things, doodle and look at pretty things. What got me so excited you say? We got a new bed! (mattress and box spring) So It is my duty to make it beautiful. I have been looking around for a head board design and my mind continued to turn to a beautiful farmhouse bed (shown above) from Knock Off Wood. It is probably my favorite site! So when I find the time to head up to the shop, THIS will be my next project. I am also in love with yellow... purple.... aqua... and grey. So the grey side tables above make me smile. And guess what. They are from Knock off wood too! But I still can't decide if they are what I want... So I think I will design my own. So you better look forward to seeing my doodles!
But until then, I hope you enjoy seeing a little piece of what makes me smile!

The Holidays

First of all, I am sorry I haven't posted anything for quite a while. Life has been crazy busy with work and school. Jon and I are both still attending Dixie State College and we can't wait for Jon to graduate this summer. As for me...I have no idea what to do with my education! I feel a bit lost about what to do with my life, Help! If any of you have any suggestions... I'm all ears! Other than work and school and watching BYU basketball games (Jon has a man crush on Jimmer, I swear), we haven't done much else.

As for the Holidays!

We had a wonderful time for Thanksgiving. We had all of Jon's family down in St. George and we hung out, played with the little ones and ate a ton of amazing food. It is always a party when the Vandermydes are in town.EDITED FOR THE SAFETY OF OUR VIEWERS

For Christmas we spent some time with my family. We went up to Chester on Christmas morning , opened presents, ate a wonderful breakfast and hung out. I love the Holiday season. I enjoy being surrounded by people that I love. This was a picture of our cute little Christmas tree. It would be quite empty if my mom didn't donate some decorations to me. Thanks MOM!Besides a few things, Our Holiday Season went great!
