Funny Stuff

Owen has been cracking me up lately.  He says the funniest things so when he's not driving me crazy he has me laughing like crazy. Here are a few of my favorites.

A few weeks ago we were walking out of Target:
Me: Owen, you have to hold my hand in the parking lot
Owen: Because of all the cars?
Me: Yes, because of all the cars
Owen: I just wish all these people would go away, then Owen could walk wherever he wanted.

Any of you that know Reid, will understand my sudden pondering if I had cloned my husband.  I didn't realize that a dislike of people was a genetic trait or that it would show itself quite so early.

Then last week we were at the zoo.  One of the zookeepers had a snake out that Owen was looking at.
Owen: Where did this snake come from?
Zookeeper: Africa
Owen: Where did you come from?
Zookeeper: Tennessee, Where did you come from?
Owen: Jesus

Oh, you've got to love that boy!

Brooke is a Model!

OK, so not really, and kind of not the future we're hoping for,  but my friend Kate did take some pictures of Brooke modeling some dresses for her blog here.  Kate is super talented and kind of amazing, so you should totally check out her blog and see pictures of my cute little girl too.

House Projects

I've definitely been getting a little crazy trying to get some things done before the baby comes.  Reid's to do list was getting kind of long, but luckily he puts up with me and we were able to get a pretty good start on my list.

Laundry Room

We made this coat rack to hang sports stuff, and wet towels from the pool, it seems like we can never have enough hooks for things.  I put up the pictures with the clothespins and I think they look so great.



Front Porch 

Our front porch was in need of a little pick me up.  So I made the wreath and got the pot and flowers.  Reid, made the bench.  Yeah, you can kind of tell one of us has a little more skill than the other.

I love this bench.  It looks so good, I'm so impressed with Reid and that he can do these things.  I think he's pretty awesome, even though I am a little biased.

Back Patio

Reid made these planters out of pallets over the winter.  I think they are perfect for our herbs and I just love the style. 

We also got a picnic table.  It is perfect for dinner outside, and for the kids to color on. 

FHE Board

OK, so this is kind of a silly little project, but we were definitely in need of something to help us organize our FHE.  I didn't want to mess with getting vinyl, so I used chalkboard paint and the wooden shapes from Hobby Lobby.  The kids think it is pretty cool and it works so that is good enough for me.

Easter Stuff

We had a great Easter.  Easter really snuck up on me this year, but we managed to do some fun things.  And enjoy the wonderful spirit of this Holiday.

We copied this idea from here, the Easter bunny left a piece of string tied to each of their doorknobs and there was a maze around our house they had to follow to find their hidden baskets.  The kids loved it, it was such a simple way to add something a little fun and extra special to our Easter traditions.

 We had a neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt.  There were nine girls, Owen and one other boy who is almost one.  Our neighborhood is a little over run with girls, but Owen seems to deal with it.



One of our nice neighbors brought a bunny pinata, which the kids just loved.  It is so fun to live in a neighborhood with so many kids.

 We dyed Easter Eggs.  Owen obviously really enjoyed himself.

Happy Easter!
