So… We decided to celebrate Easter this year…. Well the bunny and chocolate and eggs part of Easter.
Auntie Rene & I decorated the eggs and then the munchkin tried to find them on Easter morning. She’s not much of an egg hunter… It took all of us adults pointing and guiding to get her to find them. But in the end she did! She even manged to keep most of them in her basket!
All in all, it was quite hilarious! As you can probably guess, her new favorite word is Egg!
Vacation!
We have reservations again this year at Yosemite National Park!
Only 3 months till we get to go to that magical valley again!
This year our babies will be much more mobile then they were last summer!
Okay… enough dreaming for me… I’ll go back to reality and the pile of work on my desk!
Hope you had a great holiday weekend… we did! :)
We are back!
Our quick little Vancouver BC tour is over.
The baby has been washed, van unpacked, groceries purchased and our daily routines are back on schedule.
I’ll be posting some photos of the trip soon!
Here’s our day in pictures!
Making cookies for Papa!
Intrigue.
The Attack!
The withdrawal. If she could speak more words, they would be “Yuck! What’s on my hands?”
A solid fabric bonanza, from craigslist!
Baby destruction of said fabrics. Currently waiting patiently for the 7am Yosemite Camping Reservation sale!
AND still waiting for my valentine… Etta’s full mouth kisses, are sweet, but I like flowers…
Sideways, but so much fun!
A trip to Butte Creek Mill and their Antique Store!!!
A little bit of thrifty treasure…
And sunshine… so much sunshine we were able to save a little power!
We were recently featured on Colton’s blog at www. P67shooter.com !
We took a nice long photo walk in Ashland’s Lithia Park a few weekends past! Etta chased ducks, we paused for multiple pictures and played in the park! The picture above is us on one of Lithia Park’s many bridges!
When we found out we were pregnant people wanted to know a couple things. 1) Sex 2)When we were due 3)What color were we going to paint the nursery?
We didn’t know the answer to 1, Election Day was 2, and PAINT? Who paints a nursery these days? Let alone, pick out the colors in advance, a baby can’t even see like us grown ups for weeks…. We laughed at 3 the most(even more so, cause it made it to the top 3!).
Now, fast forward, a year or so later, and the kid is finaly getting her own room. And paint!? Why yes, we suddenly do care, it’s amazing what a little time can do. She’s gonna have her own room (My crafty bits and I have been moved to the garage), she’s gonna need some color!
Time was spent in the paint store stealing samples, then we had some discussions about color, finally I snuck back to the paint store and bought my three favorites (sorry papa)!
Aquarian Sky (light blue).
Cactus Dahlia (sour pink).
Sea King (tealy blue).
I could tell you how I feel about paint names and their absurdity, but I’ll save it for later.
Our “map” to paint, the boys (my husband and his brother) figured out the ratio’s, borrowed a giant ruler (taller than me), and drew the painting lines on the walls for me to follow up with tape & actual paint!
Pre-Paint, the room is preped!
The first two coats are on! 
One more to go…. will post that as soon! I hope!
When Halloween’s over, Christmas begins, this weekend our local Goodwill Thrift Stores host their annual Holiday Extravaganza. Each store own day special day to put out all their holiday goods, and the thrifters just go crazy!
Here’s what I picked up!
I just can resist 1)pink ornaments 2) young martha books and 3)gnomes/elfs/whatever those two cuties are!
I’ve also been keeping a look out for a little chair for our babe, today I hit the jackpot! A chair that’s also a stepladder, made of wood and ORANGE!
The sweet lady who sold us the stool, also had a sister named Etta! So, we’ll just chalk it up to fate.
Etta’s (Eore) first Halloween Haunting! We walked all the way around the block tricking & being treated by our ghostly neighbor’s.
A bit timid at first, but she caught on!
Success!
Candy in the bucket!
