Lime Shell Helmet for a Cat

Just for your enjoyment....

I came along this picture today when googling images for artwork for our house. It makes me laugh to the point of crying everytime I look at this cats poor little face.

Some Good R and R

For Easter weekend we packed up and headed south. We wanted to get away before Dave started his new job on Monday so we took most last week off (not that it is hard to when you are a sub and school is out anyway:)) and went to St. George with my fam. It was really nice to get away and take a few days to relax after working 3 straight weeks on our house. The first day there my mom treated Kaitlin, me and herself to pedicures! It was a great start to the R and R-ful weekend.

We also decided to take a visit to Zion's National Park. My first time ever going! It was super cool and beautiful! Kaitlin loved it, too. At first she was a little sketchy about the heights but then when we got her out on a hike she loved it and couldn't get enough of it.

We miss Michael!

Dave's playground/sanctuary!

I am awful because I didn't get any pics of our Easter festivities. We did dye eggs and we did hunt for our Easter baskets. (Dave and I played the Easter Bunny, too.) But no pics. I'm getting worse and worse with taking pics:( But our Easter was great! I was quite distrot that by Saturday all of the good Easter candy was gone. The shelves were wiped out everywhere! No cadbury eggs for me and no robin's eggs for Dave:(

We were also able to hangout with Dave's newly engaged buddy Kyle and his fiance Mckenzie. Congrats guys!

Home Updates

Well we've been working our little fingers off to get different projects done around our house. We now have the floors done (except for the stairs, those will take a bit longer) and we're only a room and a half away from having the whole upstairs painted! We've also been able to clean up our yard a bit (I keep forgetting to take a picture of our backyard; the people before us did an amazing job on it). We truly love our house and it is so much fun making it our own! Dave is trusting me with paint colors. I try to get his opinion but he always says, "I donno." He says I've done a good job thus far... Well I've posted a few progress pics but I don't want to post the final ones just yet so I'm giving a little peek to those that haven't seen it:)

This is our front room with the paint done, the floor torn up and the room in dissaray.

Here's some of our crew working on the floors!

Our bedroom in transition from red and pink walls to BLUE!
