This one's for you, Dick!
Pictures of our new porch lights! I think they're beautiful! And the fact that I got them for 50% off of the CLEARANCE price, makes them even PRETTIER!!!
The things that make you happy when you own a home!!!

Add it to the list...
...of things we'll Never DO AGAIN!!!
We decided to take advantage of the Questar Gas rebate for adding attic insulation. So, we, excitedly, purchased our 35 bags of attic insulation, and had it delivered to our house on Friday, along with the "Hopper" (aka: machine I was responsible for dumping the bags of insulation into, which then shoots it through the 40' hose and out into our attic). Not hard, right?!

Well, you're right, it wasn't HARD, but it was MISERABLE!!! Jordan was up in the attic for 3 HOURS breathing in the dusty, grossness! And I was on the porch, loading the insulation into the Hopper, and running up and down the stairs to check with Jordan and make sure I should keep loading. Oh, and the ONE TIME I didn't check after 3 bags, we had a MAJOR disaster! Jordan attempted to move the hose to a different spot in our attic, and it slipped and fell out of the attic into the hallway at the top of our stairs! All the while,I'm downstairs loading bag after bag into the machine, which is now SPRAYING ALL OVER our HOUSE!!! Nice, eh?!
Anyways, apart from that, it went smoothly, and we were SO HAPPY when it was done!!!

Easter Fun
So this Easter we went up to Logan and hung-out with my fam. It was alot of fun to have everyone together again. Even though we all live so close, it had been a while since everyone had gathered at the same time!
I've noticed that I'm getting into the habit of only taking pictures of the cute little niece and nephews when we have family gatherings. Could that be because they're the cutest of the bunch?! You have to admit, every creature is 10 times cuter when they're little!

Anyways...there's something about BuBbleS and BoYS!

Two Things...
FIRST...Look what I made:
I just had to take a picture of this dessert, because I thought it was so PRETTY!!! It's a Lemonade Cheesecake Pie, and it was pretty yummy, too! Check out the latest Kraft magazine for the recipe...SUPER EASY!!!
Those who know me, know that I shy away from the first sign of a craft...but this was easy! I bought the wreath at Tai Pan and attached the flowers and ribbon, and...voila! A new Spring door decoration! I think it's pretty cute, even though Jordan said, "The flowers are uneven! There's more on the right side then there are on the left!"
Thanks, Honey! I did that on purpose!
And SECOND...Thank heaven for little girls (and other couples who are having them!)!!!
My LITTLE sister had her SECOND baby on March 5, and it was a beautiful baby girl...REAGAN ANN!!! I love her already! Too bad she's not my own!
I think she looks JUST LIKE Ashley, her mom! That's a good thing, because Ashley has always been really cute!
I decided to take Chase (the big brother of Reagan)to see Disney on Ice one week after Reagan was born. I was pretty nervous about taking him by myself for the night...but it turned out to be a HUGE success, thanks in large part to the coaching beforehand by Ashley and Todd!
They had Chase convinced that my Toyota Corolla was a BLUE RACECAR! And boy was he excited to "Drive fast on the FAST road!!!"
Once we got to our seats, he seemed terrified to be surrounded by all the strange people, and ended-up sitting on my lap the ENTIRE show! But aside from being scared of all my coworkers, he was completely entertained!
After the show was over, and as soon as we got outside away from the crowds, he started talking about how the "Pirate HIT the alligator (Captain Hook)!" and everything else he had seen, and didn't stop until we got back to his house and he found his cousin Michael waiting to play with him!
It was ALOT of fun! I even said to Ashley when she asked if I wanted to 2 1/2 year old that I'd adopt a toddler and happily skip over the baby stage! You never know, that just might be what we end-up doing!
HaPPy SPrInG!!!
