a fun few weeks

This is the Mrs. family(all except one sibling...we missed you!!!) I was able to go to my home town to visit my parents one last time before they moved to Cheyenne Wyoming. It was great to see everyone. I love my crazy family.



I know this might seem silly, but a lot of our families don't know what our apartment looks like. Here is the first installment on "our home"(rest to follow once it is cleaned and ready for a photo shoot). Our front room is where we spend most of our time.
This chair below is awesome. Not only is is super comfy, but it is raised fabric on the pattern. We once had a friend over and he was sitting on the arm of the chair. The Mrs. couldn't stand it and asked him to sit in it correctly so he didn't break it. He has never since touched that chair and probably never will again.
These are some new pictures (thanks Aubrey for the frames) of power lines and birds. We like them and think they are pretty cool. The Mrs. took the pictures and then enlarged them to fit in the frames.
I'm pretty proud of these curtains, my friend helped me pick out the fabric and I sewed them up. My favorite part: turquoise and mustard tassels on the side.
Off to Easter. Our traditional Conference Breakfast started off a little different this year. Our friends came over a little late. Turns out a huge bowl of crepe badder opened up all over the back seat of their car. No fun on a Sunday morning.
Appropriately, the Mr. made a hard boiled egg monster who was bitter and mad.
And I had to color coordinate the eggs so they looked pretty.

The next day, I headed off to Chicago to help my Sister in law with a new baby. It was so fun to hang out with family members I don't get to see very often. I really enjoyed my time getting to know those members of the family better. The toddler and I went all over and had a blast. It didn't hurt either that I bribed her affection with chocolate chip cookie and rice crispy making, episodes of Dora and all the playground time she could handle. Unfortunately for my Mister, he had to stay home and do homework and get ready for finals. He was sure happy to have me home and I was happy to be back with him.
