Easter!

Here are some pics of us coloring Easter eggs.  We decided to try food coloring instead of the tablets because last year some of the tablets didn't color so well.  We were very happy with the results of the food coloring/water/vinegar mix!

Here is from Easter Morning.  The Easter Bunny is still "kicking out" all the eggs (I think Emma means hiding - she said this last year too!)

A Visit from Uncle Sam

Bill's baby brother Sam works in Provo. (Bill is the oldest of 7 and Sam is the youngest) Sam just got married last year (remember when Emma was a flowergirl?).  My point is he has no kids - because he is recently married and my kids just adore him (because he is a lot of fun.....for kids!).  Here are some pics from his latest visit.

Sam is quite the artiste n'est pas?

Princess Bed Chronicles Part 2

It seems like it took forever and now it is finished...well almost.   We still have to add the risers for the stairs but it feels so much better to say finis!  I haven't started on curtains or shams and I need to finish her quilt.   I also have grand plans to put up board and batten on her walls but today I just want to enjoy being done.  In the meantime, Bill started on Gage's bed today.

And just for fun...I want you to notice that there is a door - but for whatever reason, Maya keeps climbing in/out all the windows!

If you're curious or want to build your own - we downloaded the plans from Ana-white.com they are free.  We spent about $200 on wood, $80 on paint (we bought 2 gallons of primer/paint all in one from Behr in white and some shade of pink- the name is escaping me now).  But I am sure if you want Bill to build you one (because he's so good at it; and loved it so much) he would only charge millions.....now who wants one?
