Family Pictures

If you haven't seen them on Facebook, here they are. Thanks to our photographer Megan for taking such fun pictures of our girls:)

Random

I am a bad blogger. so here are a few things that have been going on...

Richy poo had a birthday. Happy 33rd old man!!!

Imagine that this is facing the right way...Willow played softball again this year. Her team name was the Sliders:) Again, she had fun playing in the dirt LOL!

Willow finally lost one of her front teeth. She looks pretty cute....for now:)

Elwyn cut her hair...AGAIN!!! This time with her nail clippers...REALLY!!!! What ever will i do with that girl. About two weeks after she did this, she cut it again, this time with Rich's razor...NICE:(

Poor Willow

Willow was invited to an 'Out of school' shindig back in May. Well she whacked her teeth REALLy hard on a teeter totter while there and it turned her cute little front teeth brownish/grayish. This picture really doesn't do her teeth justice..i guess that's a good thing:)

Then about 2 weeks later while practicing softball with Rich, he whacked her HARD on the thumb. Man it was ugly. The nail has since fallen off, and i THINK a new one is growing in it's place...i'm not sure, but i'm hoping:)

Look who graduated from preschool...

...a month ago:) I'm such a great blogger:) And these pictures kind of suck.

She was so darn cute during her graduation, and I'm so proud of her for learning so much this past year. Now i just need to get through another year of preschool, and then i can send her off to KINDERGARTEN!!!!! WOOOHOOO!!!!:) Ok, that really is a little sad to think about:)

I finished my bedroom!!!

If you know me, you know i always have some sort of project going on in my house...i think i got this from my dad:) Anywho...if there isn't a project going on, you better believe there is one in the works...just ask me, i have many more projects i want to do!

So here is our bedroom...please don't look at my clutter, i want you to focus on the walls:) This is the color of the walls when we bought the place, which i liked just fine until i decided i was living in a dungeon:) Rich on the other hand...still likes this color...Too bad Richy poo!!!

Another shot of the brown walls

Okay, these pictures don't do my room justice. The lighting is horrible...and i just have to say Rich doesn't like the colors i chose, oh well. Also the blue painters tape is still up...LOL!!!

I painted the walls a grayish/green. Then Rich helped me put up wainscotting. i LOVE it!!! It really gives the room alot of character. I just wish i didn't have so much furniture that covers the walls:(

Now that i look at these, they really aren't great pictures. I will have take more when i feel like it and repost:)

Easter

Yes, we celebrated Easter...don't you worry about it. I'm just a terrible blogger:)

Willow with a retarded smile dyeing eggs:)

Rich and Elwyn

Having a good time dyeing eggs:)

I think this is one of Elwyn's eggs..i assume Rich helped her draw the heart:)

Some of the eggs we dyed:)

Salt Lake trip

We did one fun thing for Spring break this year...okay we did more fun things, but i will blog about this one:) We got a hotel in Salt Lake for a night...and took the kids to Temple Square...which living in Utah doesn't sound like a fun time, but the girls have never been there...since they are Wisconsinites:) And i can't even tell you the last time that I was there:) Warning: lots of pictures to follow...

Richy poo and me in our hotel room

My two silly girls. I love Elwyn's face..she's a crack up!!!

Willow and Elwyn on the bed

Waiting to eat dinner at The Garden...side note: Rich wanted to go to The Roof...what was he thinking, really...i mean we aren't made of money!!!

Eating dinner

The next day we went to the Church History Museum...great place. This was the girls' favorite thing to do...dance:) Elwyn had this ridiculous perma-grin her face the entire time...HILARIOUS!!!!
