Memories are rare jewels which time polishes into perfection.

Twins-at-Work Day

Courtney and Savanna
Dani and I

At work this past week we had a day of matching scrub tops for a few of us! Doesn't happen too often but it made for some fun photo taking with our phones! :)

What a great day we had! The weather was the warmest we have seen this season so the kids enjoyed an outdoor egg hunt and we just had a fun time! Enjoy the smilebox if you want to see pictures of the afternoon events.

Beware of Identity Theft This Easter!!!



















HAPPY EASTER!!!!

Go Fly A Kite!

...and that's what we did today! The advantage of having WIDE OPEN SPACES!!






Trying to see into the sun




The facial expressions of concentration and fun!


Jaren did AWESOME flying the kite! He is our perfectionist!







Enjoying the fresh air, cuddling and kite flying!




Of course Tori is on the hunt for more mice below the snow piles!









Something wrong with this picture? I think I used to get my lil' sister to do this for me many moons ago too! The first born have it figured out! :)

Transformations

Since it's spring I've been doing a little "freshening" up again around here. I repainted the bathroom and painted an old dresser downstairs. I love looking back over the years to see what things used to look like. The one room I've seemed to have followed has been Jaren's room. Jaren's room before the painting started in Jan 2008 - it was a guest room
After the painting was done but no real furniture.

I missed a stage with his single bed that we got him and his bedding coordinates that are now in use in Landen's room.


His new double bed - March 2011

(with my old bedding set)

And finally it's finished! Jaren's bedroom

2011





I've also been working on the downstairs bedroom for when our company comes.


The repainted dresser that used to be Kevin and Curtis' when they were babies. It's amazing what a coat of paint can do!


And finally our now, non-purple, bathroom :)




And Out Come the Bikes!

Our two bikers
Landen still has not quite figured out how to use the pedals so he pulls the Fred Flinstone moves and uses his feet on the ground to move the bike!




Just about missed him he zoomed by so fast!



Gettin' a little fancy!


Tori's spring bath so she could be reunited indoors with the family after spending just about 2 weeks sleeping in the shop. Hopefully she stays a little cleaner than what she was! She is the best mouser, hunting all day! Our place looks like a battle field with dead mice all over the driveway!



Did someone say lunch??



Tori on her look-out point being able to watch the boys play downstairs but still not miss out on what I'm doing upstairs! Smart dog!
