Recent times

This is going to be a long update with quite a few pictures! First off, Easter! We had a wonderful Easter weekend! We were able to watch General Conference at home, and Josie was enthralled by the idea of church on TV. It was a great conference and we really enjoyed listening to all the talks. If you want some more information on that, check out www.lds.org. You can read the conference talks and even watch some. It was GREAT! On Saturday night while Justin was at the Priesthood meeting, Josie and I got ready for Easter by coloring eggs. She thought it was great. 
Here we are getting ready:
I turned my back for 2 seconds and ended up with this:
Here are our beautiful eggs!

We had a great time! Easter morning was a lot of fun too! Josie had been watching the Mickey Mouse Easter show where they had an egg hunt, so she did a great job on her own little egg hunt. She found all 6 eggs all by herself. Here are a few Easter morning pictures. I took more videos than pictures, but I haven't uploaded my videos yet. So the next update will have all the videos.

This picture was today, but its a picture of her Easter dress that I made for her, so I decided it fit under the Easter category.  She looked adorable in it!

Other exciting news, Josie has LOTS of hair now, and loves it when mommy fixes it pretty. Here are a few of the styles we've tried lately.


In my world, I still try to keep up with my craft and sewing projects. Don't forget to check out my craft blog, if you're interested. Here is one of my favorite projects:
And we put them to use making some banana-chocolate chip bread today...


Latest and greatest news, we've upgraded our VW Beetle! We've been doing lots of shopping/comparing/everything lately for a new car because the Beetle has just been getting less and less reliable. When we test-drove this car, Josie told us, "I like it! I like-a dis car!" and she still says it every time we get in. We love it too! Its a Toyota RAV4. Isn't it pretty? :)

Josie likes to drive it too.

That's all for this update, but hopefully I'll stop being lazy and get some videos posted soon so you can see the  Josie-monster in action. Until next time.. :)

Hooray for new cars!! Especially SUVs! You're lucky that Josie likes it when you fix her hair pretty. I hear of so many moms whose daughters just pull out anything they put in their hair. She just keeps getting cuter and cuter!

Wow, it looks like Josie stayed clean while doing the eggs, i'm impressed. She's definitely a cutie.

So much fun happening at your house! Josie looks so adorable and I can't wait until Delaney has enough to hair to do stuff with. Right now we settle for headbands and adorable bows. :) Hurray on the RAV4! I remember when Lance and I got that same car as our first SUV! It's a great car and you're going to LOVE it! I can't wait to see you guys!!! XOXO
