Lady Bug Craft

Well I needed something to do after I got out of surgery so I picked up this lady bug family from the wood connection and painted them and put scrapbook paper on the wings! I think they turned out pretty cute! My mom gave me the cutest idea to put the red bandana's on the wings but I couldn't find the right pattern for them so I gave up on that idea :( But I still think they turned out really cute!

Easter

This Easter was great because me and Jake decided to do Easter baskets this year... Last year just wasn't the same without them! We hid them and Jake put Duke's Duck in my basket and he just wandered right up to it before I even found it and took the duck out for himself! He is so funny, he was being a little impatient why I took the tags off for him!

Jake found his basket! 

See how impatient he looks... 

 Jake LOVES The Great Outdoors and we always make fun of him for it, but I decided it's time for him to own it :D

Jake's favorite candy! 

I got a huge picture of all the guys in Baja on their dirt biking trip, he's gong to hang it in the garage!

Don't mind how ugly I look... I just got out of surgery ok! Jake did so good with my Easter basket this year... He got creative all by himself! He got me Scrabble Slam, nail polish, lip glass and earrings!

Then my family came over to dye Easter eggs! Krysta bought the coolest kits.. One was tie dye and the other was camo! And I made the best Easter sugar cookies ever too.. yeah I'm pretty cool.

Krysta's didn't turn out the way she wanted :(

Mom doing her first tie dye egg thinkin she's cool because she is doing the "advanced method" The turn out wasn't as great as she hoped hahaha

Mom thinkin she's cool stuff taking her egg out of the tie dye process... 

Groovy!

Yeah we're pretty advanced egg dyers... not a big deal. ;)

Promotion baby!

I've gotten a promotion at work! I am so happy that they've thought of me and let me have this chance to learn more about the company. It is a lot of stress learning everything but I know once I get it down I will do great! My main job will be filling out all the pre-qualifications for all the future bids we'll be doing. This really intimidated me at first because of how important it is, but just like any new task, it intimidates me until I get familiar with it. Something else that I'll be doing is helping out in the electrical division and working with the project managers! This is the area of the company I've wanted to work for so I am very grateful to get this opportunity. I really love my job and the people I work with and especially management. They are all so great, I hope I can make them proud! Wish me luck!

Jacob's birthday!

Well my little Jacob is now 24- he's just growing up so fast! ;) We had all our friends over for a BBQ and it was so fun to see everyone! Supercross was on that night so of course the boys had to watch that for FOUR HOURS! But it's ok, the girls played games and it was soooooo much fun!! That night was much needed, theres been way too much going on lately and I think we both needed a night to relax and enjoy hanging out with everyone. We've got the best friends in the whole world! I'm so grateful for them, I don't know where we'd be without them.
