Thought for a Monday

The grass isn't greener on the other side...It's greener where you water it!  Wherever you are and whatever you are doing in your life is always going to be great when you have a good attitude about it.  You get out of it what you put in to it.

Bathroom remodel

AFTER:

This bathroom redo is a project that I vowed to have done while Nathan was serving his mission.  Well it is finally finished!  Katie chose the paint color and I love it!  We got the big mirror at Ikea, and in the mirror you can see the wonderful new shower. It is all fresh and new and beautiful.
I forgot to take a before photo but here is one Hannah took (along with her lovely hair) that shows the little corner shower that is now gone. Yay!

BEFORE:

Prom Night

Tonight is Prom night for Hannah.  She had lots of help from her older sister to get her hair and make-up just right and I think she looks absolutely beautiful! Lucky young man who gets to spend the evening dancing with fun and lovely Hannah.

May the 4th

May the 4th be with you! Happy Star Wars Day!  

Kate created a Wookie cake for us to enjoy today, she is so creative. 

Yummy!

Our family really loves a yummy bowl of warm Danish Dessert.  Tonight we added a bit of angel food cake and some strawberries to it, but just plain is just fine with me!  Oliver spooned up as much as he could and then decided it was so good he needed to lick the bottom of the bowl. Yummy!

Nathan's grand missionary adventures are coming to an end, at least the full time adventures in Missouri and Illinois.  The wonderful things that he has learned there will, I'm sure, help him in his future adventures!  We received his travel papers and he will arrive home the morning of May 23, 2013.  I am so excited to see him, bask in his missionary spirit, and listen to all he has to share!  One more month.

Finished Project

I finished Katie's afghan!  I've been working on it for a while..well years now...but it is complete and a gift to her with love from me.
