Easter and Snow!!

For easter we didn't do too much. The Saturday before Easter we went to the easter egg hunt that the complex had it was the dumbest thing I have ever been to. Instead of hiding the eggs outside they had a bucket in the clubhouse where all the kids got to pick 10 eggs. I couldn't believe that, the weather wasn't bad at all. Later we were invited to go to a friends house to have and easter egg huntfor the kids. Dillon had a blast looking for eggs and putting them in his bag. He also liked playing with the kids. Easter sunday wasn't too bad we went to church and both of us were teaching primary so we missed our other classes, but we still had fun. Then we had dinner at my parents place. Then we played many games. My brothers and sister were home from school so it was fun to play with them and see them again.

This past weekend we had a crazy snow storm. Friday it started as rain, then turned to snow and hail, then the strangest thing happened while it was snowing it thundered! It was crazy to see snow and hear thunder. It continued snowing until afternoon on saturday giving us about a foot and a half of snow. It was so beautiful, unfortunatly my camera wasn't working so I didn't get any pics. That night at Walmart it was insane. It was crazy busy. People were finally able to get out so the come to Walmart to buy food. The lines for the registers were crazy long we were so short on people , which didn't help. It was one crazy night!

Twilight DVD!

Last Friday night when it seemed everyone was throwing a Twilight party, I went with my friends to Walmart in Parker who was hosting 93.3, a local radio station. I didn't have the money to get the movie, but I wanted to come and hang out with my friends anyway, We played a few card games. Then at one point we went outside to put our names in the drawing to win the movie for FREE! I had alo put my name in to win some other Twilight gear. Well when midnight came around, 93.3 announced their winner and it was ME!! I was so excited I was bouncing off the walls. I was so excited!! So I came that night not knowing what was to happen and got the DVD I wasn't planning on getting it anyway!! YEA ME!!

PS: This is my 50th post!

Food storage and other stuff

I have discovered a great site for recepies from stuff in your food storage! I am so excited about this because then I can make things that I thought I might never get to because it's refrigerated or whatever. Even powdered milk recepies and other ways to use it. I couldn't believe it! She even has a milk conversion chart to make milk for a recepie! I absoultly love this site and can't wait to try out the recepies

Also Dillon loves the camera! He decided on day to put a pokeman ball over his mouth and this is what we got!




He was also playing in his room with his blankets and pillow and got them all over by the desk, so Mikel moved a box out from under the table and as you can see he loves it! everytime the camera is out he smiles it is the cutest thing ever!

Happy Birthday Mikel!

Have a Happy birthday honey! You are awesome, We love you!

I was tagged by Jeanne
Here is what you do: grab your camera and take at least 5 random pictures around your house. No cleaning up first, this is your house as is.

Here are some categories you could use:

* Room that stays the cleanest
* Work in progress
* What someone else is doing right now
* Favorite decor or display
* Something that represents your current life
* Favorite relaxing spot
* Something hand-me-down
* What someone else is doing right now.

This I guess represents some of our current life, the office/ Dillon's room


The living room this is actually a good day!


This is always a work in progress


Who would have thought that the laundry room is the cleanest room in the house!


Dillon fell asleep in a very relaxing place


He was too cute to just take one picture!


I tag anyone who wants to do it!

I finally did it!

So I have made quite a drastic change I finally chopped it all off! Well not completly, but I did cut over 3 inches off.
