Easter {2012}

This weekend we had our annual family reunion. We always have so much fun getting to hang out with our family that we don't often get to see. We gather each year at the lake in Brownwood, TX over Easter weekend.

This year we had to change where we stayed due to the building we had stayed at for over 40 years is in the process of being torn down. :( I think most of us were a little hesitant about having to change but I think it ended up being a wonderful change!

Rilan and Zoey had so much fun playing with their cousins. They woke early and played until they crashed at night.

 Rilan feel in LOVE with little Miss Paislee. He pushed her around for hours at a time in the walker or stroller.

Zo loved playing in the rocks!

My little sweeties before the egg hunt. Rilan was not thrilled by any means about having to take pictures. 

 Zoey has started saying "cheese" when you take a photo of her and it might be the cutest thing ever. I love that she is starting that stage of loving to have her photo taken!

Hope you and your family had a wonderful Easter weekend too!

Living, He loved me 
Dying, He saved me 
Buried, He carried my sins far away 
Rising, He justified freely forever 
One day He’s coming 
Oh glorious day, oh glorious day 

A few recent projects...

So I've had my cricut for a few weeks now and I am LOVING it! Just wish I had a little more time to use it! It still needs a permanent home too, my dining room table is tired of being its temporary home.

The first thing I made was Easter buckets for the kids. I still have to add polka dots to Zoey's and I might change her name to match her outfit she is going to wear on Easter. Rilan just wanted his name and a dinosaur on his so that was easy!

I did a few things for my mom while she was here with it. I put her name on her iPhone cover, and I also put Rilan's name on a sports bottle for his soccer games and practice.

We have a problem with toys in our house. It drive me nuts to see them scattered everywhere so I went to Wal-Mart and got this tub, whatever can fit into it and the lid go on can stay down stairs, everything else has to stay upstairs. Its been working so far. Now if I can just help Rilan learn how to keep his room clean!

And last, ever since I saw the mirror Kelly made for Hollis I knew I wanted to do something similar.  I already had this mirror in Zoey's room so it was nice that I didn't have to buy anything for the project! Well except the vinyl, which I had but even then it only cost about a dollar!

 Uhmm looks like I forgot to clean the mirror good before I hung it!

I have a few more projects planned to do in the next few weeks, I can't wait to share when they are done!
