Hillari took 1st place in the women's group and will be going on to nationals in California! Way to go Hill!! Here is a youtube video of her competition. They do some crazy amazing things.

Easter

We had our Easter celebration at my sister-in-law's parents house. It was a lot of fun, except that Gary wasn't there to celebrate with us, since he was in Oklahoma for two weeks.




We took the kids to Deseret Peak for their Easter egg hunt. They had the field divided up in age groups, so I only have pics right now of Brianna's field, since that is where I ended up. My sister, Heidi, took Jenna so I need to get pics from her still of that fiasco. All Jenna ended up with was a football, so Brianna gave her some candy.



Our pre-Easter activities included coloring eggs in my backyard, making an Easter art project, and playing.

Projects around the house

We've been pretty busy with various things around the house. Here are some of the ongoing projects. We've ordered a bunkbed that matches the desk for Brianna and Jenna.
In the bathroom we put up bead-board, pegs for the towels, and a new mirror. I will paint the upper walls a different color, but I'm waiting on the bathroom stuff I ordered to choose a color.

We finally got a new kitchen table that can accomodate up to 8 people, 10 if we squish. It's been great!
