Today I Felt Gourmet

We recently watched Ratatouille the movie. Devan and I both love it. So cute! Whenever I watch it I always think "man, that looks tasty." Finally today I tried it. Here is the recipe. Can I just say that it was DELICIOUS!!! I went back for seconds...and I licked my plate clean.

I Have Grass!!!

I finally have grass...well...in the front yard at least...and a little bit on the side. It only took a year and a half to get to this point but it was definitely worth it. Devan and I want to thank all those that showed up to help. You are all WONDERFUL!!!

AFTER


Here are some additional pics...(the cute little kid helping Devan is our neighbor. His name is Riley and he is 3. Whenever he saw us out in the front yard he would literally run over with his toy shovel, rake and wheelbarrow to help us out. It was adorable.

Mother's Day Should Fall on a Saturday

I think I might start petitioning for mothers day to fall on saturday. That way I could at least go out and by a new pair shoes to cheer me up. Let's be honest here...today ranks up there with my top 2 least favorite days of the year. In fact, I HATE TODAY!!! Here is link to a website that I find can cheer me up. I hope all you mothers have a great day. I, however, will be avoiding all things mothery and hopefully going for a bike ride later today (weather pending).

My First Patch Quilt

When Devan got his job at BYU we were left with a pile of brown pants (most of which had huge holes in them) and a bunch of gray and blue shirts that had his name embroidered in to them. One day I had the thought..."Hey, we should make a quilt out of these clothes." At first it seemed like a good idea. Then about 2 months in to the project I thought "this is a horrible idea." But now that everything is finally all done I'm glad I did it. I had a lot of help along the way. One day Massiel and Cyndi came and helped me sew squares together. Massiel at one point also helped me cut the squares out. Plus I had a great little helper names Devan. He did a lot of sewing. Plus he is a pro at quilting. I'm proud to say that we are finally done. I think the whole thing took me about 4 months to complete. Here are some pictures.

Scott's Birthday

This is the year that most of the "friends group" is turning 30. Scott's birthday is just 2 days before mine. This year we did a quaint little dinner at Olive Garden and then the Scott, Sarah, Devan and myself headed over to the shooting range. Here are some pictures from our evening.

I love pictures that catch Devan laughing.

Devan and Sarah are great at reloading magazines.

Check out that one right in the middle. That was my money shot of the night.



Meet zombie Bin Laden. Sarah aimed high...I aimed a bit lower.
