1800 miles

The 1800 miles to and from Utah were totally worth it.

I captured this photo.

It will now be blown up to 20x30.

And hung above my sofa to replace a picture I took last summer.

I'm in love with it.

But more in love with the cute kiddos in it.

May 5th

Cinco de Mayo

A great reason to have a party.

I'm so sad I did not get pictures of everyone drinking their 'margaritas'

I'm trying to be better at taking pictures during parties and not just before :)

Cookies

And no cinco de mayo would be complete without a Pinata.

I really wanted to get a Donkey one.

I went to the store excited to make my purchase.

15 dollars!

Serisouly???

I could not justify it.

So I decided to make one.

I have not made one since I was like ten, but I figured if I made one when I was ten, i
t could not be that hard.

I had a great idea to make it look like a sombrero.

It looked more like the planet Saturn when I was done.

So my sweet hubby took it upon himself to paint it for me.

It turned out cute.

And most importantly the kiddos loved it!

Yes, that is my daughter without pants on at our party.

Andrew hit it open!....after Collin pushed holes all over it to help the process.

Who knew flour and water could be so strong and durable :)

Mindy's baby shower

My brother, Nathan, is a blackhawk helicopter pilot for the Army.

He is currently in Iraq. And will be until just before Christmas.

His sweet wife is due with their first baby in June!!!

They have waited a very long time for this little bundle to join their family.

My mom and I really wanted to throw Mindy a shower.

And this week we did!

In honor of my brother.......

Operation Baby Shower

My dad was also a Blackhawk helicopter pilot. We used his helmet as a centerpiece.
