New Countertops

I'm so excited - look at the kitchen makeover we're getting? It's not quite done - we still need to add the tile backsplash which we're going to do all the way up to the cabinets!! Oh and we haven't had water in the sink for the last 24 hours since we added an undermount sink and it's needs time to cure. Love it!

Look, Ma, NO Hands!

Last Monday night we had the Missionaries over for dinner. One of the Elders is brand new to the mission and he was having an issue with his bike seat, so we went outside to see if we could help them. We were having a bit of trouble, but luckily our neighbor pulled up and since he worked for several years as bicycle mechanic he whipped the seat into shape in no time.

Brooke then asked Rex if he would fix her training wheels because one of them was loose and wasn't hitting the ground. Rex asked her if she would like to just take the wheels off. She was hesitant for a bit and then agreed. Long story short we took the wheels off, Brooke sat on the seat and literally too off! She still needs some help to start, but other than that she is a real pro. Was she ready or what? Since then she has been a bike riding fiend asking every day if we'll take her out to ride.

Hoppy Easter!

We were so excited to receive a spur-of-the-moment visit from Janet and the kiddos. The cousins had such a good time reconnecting. On Saturday morning (in between races at the track meet) we went to Suzi's neighborhood for an Easter egg hunt. Danielle and Kari were good sports and came along.

Enjoy the pics of the kiddos!

Cake Pops - Oh, my aching feet!

Have you ever been to Bakerella's website?

If you have then I bet you've either tried to make cake pops or you've thought "wow, those are cute I'm going to try those some day." Well, me too. My friend Darby thought the same thing, so we got together last Thursday to give it a whirl. All I could say that night was, "oh, my aching feet!!" They were time consuming to say that least and the real bummer was mine don't look as cute as Bakerella's. Darby took some great pics and if you want to read more about our afternoon making cake pops check it out here.

Unfortunately, Easter cake pops won't become a tradition in my home.
