This is our house
Rob took these pictures a month or so ago. Now under the windows, red tulips have emerged.
Back view of house. See dirt in bottom corner. Rob put grass seed down. We'll see how that goes.
Last thursday morning we woke up to 6" of snow.
The view from inside our sliding glass door. This week it's in the 70s. I'm sunburned already.
My mom gave us these sugar easter decorations, so we had to make easter cupcakes and use them. Christopher loves cupcakes!
We dyed eggs...the finished product. He also loves to peel the eggs.
Easter Egg hunt. Oh, and at his Dr's appointment he was 30 lbs, 37 1/2" (5% for both...I think after this winter we'll be done w/2T clothes though.)
We bought this 1000 piece puzzle of Provo at DI for $2 and were thrilled that all the pieces were there. Christopher loves puzzles and was good at noticing details on the pieces. (He knew what pieces went to the SWKT and that my sister Cambrai has a class there.) Rob did most of it, but I helped a little.
This is a side-ways picture of Christopher's cake. It's a basketball and hoop. My friend Melissa made it. Thanks Melissa, you did a great job! (I frosted the basketball.) After we made it we decided we should have frosted the hoop white or a light yellow. I think if we did the strings diagonally it would have turned out better too.
Blowing out the candles. (This is the jacket that goes with the pants in the pictures below.)
Rob's parents gave him this soccer set and he loves it!
He wants to play with us every day.
This is our front room. When you walk in the front door, you can go up or down stairs, or come into this room on your left. We love the high ceilings and fireplace.
I made these drapes/curtains for our huge front windows. I got the fabric in February. $85 and 30+ hours later we were very happy with the result. This is the biggest project I have ever done in my entire life. I got to know my sewing machine quite well and learned how to make button holes. A special thanks to my mother-in-law for all her advice. Rob is thrilled that they are up and done.
This is what it looks like pulled back.
My birthday cake (rainbow chip frosting of course) with Christopher, my sister Cambrai, and Kimberly and Scott.
When my family was in town for their spring break, we went to Salt Lake. It was freezing.
Look in our archives from last year when we went to Salt Lake around this same time. We went into the Church History Museum, where they have a primary play room. Christopher ran in there squealing "I remember this place!" He ran and gave the sheep a big hug. I asked if he wanted a picture with the sheep and he said "no, we already did that." He would hold still for a very solemn wiseman picture.
This is Christopher's first drawing of a real person. Everyother picture is just scribbles and he has to tell us what it is. This time I could actually tell. I was amazed!
My mom made him this Batman cape for his birthday. He loves it! My sister Gabrielle (who will be going to BYU next year) is helping him fly.
Rob's brother Scott got married on Valentines Day. We were busy with wedding festivus the whole day.
Grooms men and bridesmaids.
Christopher loved the piano that played by itself.
The immediate family at the Salt Lake Temple (it didn't rain (or snow) while we were taking pictures.)
Goofy Scott and beautiful Kimberly.
Haircut! This is me at 20 weeks with a new haircut. And we found out we are having a boy! We are really excited and are taking name suggestions (we like traditional names). This is a new couch we bought on KSL (recliners on either side). Rob likes that it's long enough for him to lay down on while I sit on the other end (you are only seeing 3/4 of the couch). I am currently making drapes for the large windows behind me (it will be floor to ceiling-14 feet!) I think it's my biggest sewing project ever.
