April 2010

Hello All! As you can see, I took a little blogging break. Lots of great excuses! Broken camera, moving in, Summer Wellness Challenge, preparations for David's homecoming.... I could go on and on! Nonetheless, I did manage to snap a few shots during the month of April....

Abram checking out the table top... A side note about the table... When we left UT we sold our table with the intention of getting a new one once we got to CO. However, when we got into housing last year, we had no dining room or even space to put a table! We got into a bigger house this time. No "dining room" per se, rather just an area with linoleum and the obnoxious stairs overhang. There really isn't room to fit an actual dining room table, so I think we are going to stick with the card table and folding chairs for awhile. Not to mention, the kiddos are at that age where their destructive tendencies can really do damage to furniture. Might as well wait to buy a new dining set for a bit! "FIX IT UP... WEAR IT OUT... MAKE DO... OR DO WITHOUT!" During the unpacking, Malia ran across her camping set from Grandpa and Grandma. What better way to utilize the set than to stuff it with Oreos??

Right after I got into housing I happened upon a garage sale and found this kid's kitchen... $30! Brand new it's well over $200! It fits perfectly along the wall and gives the kids something to do while I am cooking...


Easter weekend at Monika's... decorating cupcakes with Kaela. This is one of the few pictures I have from the weekend... Stinking camera!


Abram enjoying some Mac & Chreese... Non Dairy, Egg Free version of Macaroni and Cheese.... YUM! It's actually not too bad...


One of Abram's newest hobbies... emptying the toilet paper roll AND the trash can! He is angry because I chastised him... If I recall all I said was his name!

So there you have our life in April... mostly lots of unpacking! I was fortunate enough to have my mom and sister come out one weekend to help me get started. Thanks friends! Unfortunately, no pictures from their whirlwind visit :( On to May...
