My Old Love

For years I played the piano and I was pretty good! I quit back in high school and I have been wanting to pick it back up. My fantabulous husband found this beauty for me and let me buy it!


It is a gorgeous cherry wood and it has an amazing sound to it! I practiced last night for a while and realized how much I LOVE playing! I can't wait to get some of my favorite songs down again.


Looks pretty good, hu!? I am in love with it and I love my man! Thank you for finding this piano for me and for letting me buy it! You are the BEST!

Easter

This was our first Easter celebration as a married couple! And it was a super busy, yet enjoyable day. We woke up nice and early and went to my side of the family's stake conference. Elder Richard Scott was the speaker! He gave a great talk and we are thankful we were invited along. We enjoyed a tasty lunch at my Nana and Papa's house and got to see all the cousins. It's always nice to see the fam!


After lunch, we travelled back up to eat dinner with Scott's side of the family.


Reminiscing on past Easter holidays...When I was little, my mom would make jell-O Easter eggs- and boy did I love them! So I decided it would be fun to make them for the nieces.


Here are the Jell-O eggs we made!
I think the girls and rest of the family enjoyed them and found it pretty fun.



After dinner we ventured out into the big field for the Egg Hunt!


We have 8 nieces all together but four of them live far away in Idaho. Which is sad cause we miss them all the time. (But I think we get to see them in just a couple weeks!) There are four nieces that live right here with us, but one is only a month and a half old- so she didn't join in. But the three older girls had a ton of fun running all over the field finding their hidden Easter eggs. They were pretty excited!








These girls are all SO beautiful, so fun and oh-so precious. We had a blast watching them hunt for eggs. Hope everyone had a very Happy Easter!

The Precious

A couple of years ago I got the most precious little kitten from a neighbor. She was only a few weeks old at the time, so I've had her since she was a baby. She was oh-so sweet and precious that I named her 'Precious'. She is evil sometimes though (OK- a lot of the time) and that's when we call her 'THE Precious'. We are dorky, I know.



We were playing one of our favorite games on Sunday, with my side of the family, called Qwirkle. It's super fun. The cat decided she wanted to play too and hopped up on an available chair and just sat there by her game pieces. Pretty cute.
