A spoonful of events (like alphabet soup or something...)

I made the granola bars yesterday, yummy! I ate one for breakfast this morning. Really quick and easy to make, the are a keeper.

Also tried a yummy new black bean soup recipe from the More with Less cookbook. I use that cookbook at least once a week, it has been a good investment. The recipe called for a pound of dried black beans, 1 green pepper and a ham shank. Pretty simple.

::Here's a recap of the past couple of weeks::

Mike and Edna (Hubie's sister and brother in law) had baby Emmett. Don't they look like a fun bunch of people?


Hubie took a week off work to rehab more of the house.
New window in the dining room- looks great! (There used to be a steel door in its place)


Hubie and I spent some nice time on our back patio. I am so glad we put that in last summer. Now is the perfect time to enjoy it, no bugs (only raccoons when it gets dark!!)!!


Take a look at this guy!

Before...

And After...
No More Braces! Hube got his braces off after only having them a year!


This is our orange wall...it was only orange a few hours before we painted it over. Just thought people would like to see the evidence.


We had a wonderful time at Heather and Ryan's wedding. Heather wore her grandmother's wedding dress. Isn't she beautiful?

We spent time with Kenny and Melissa and Melody (pictured above in the black and white dress) too! Went to a cute coffee shop with them in between wedding day things.

Here we are all spiffed up, I even bought a new maternity dress for the special event.


...we've had a busy couple of weeks right?

Lastly, but certainly not of least importance! Amanda Davis's 25th Birthday celebration! She invited us out to Distrito for brunch after church. We had a nice time dining together:).

As you can see, we have been busy. We definitely needed some time to just relax and be silly the past couple of weeks.




Hope you all enjoyed Easter, and had time to reflect during Holy Week. It was a meaningful time for us.

Val, glad you had a fab time over Easter. You look great, love all the work you've on the house and with the baby preps.

I'm also happy for Heather, she looked lovely in that wedding gown.

Stay well.
