He is Risen!

Easter... One of my favorite times of year. I absolutely love that spring is in the air and that there is a sense of refreshment. So appropriate for the resurrection of our Savior! He gave us hope and a newness of life. This year we enjoyed some amazing worship. There was a young choir director leading a small choir of 15 people or so added to the praise band this morning at church. I must say... they were AMAZING! There voices were beautiful and the music arrangement was fantastic. When you add that to singing to our King, you are bound to have a great time with the Lord.

After service we went to my parents' house for a turkey and some Easter egg hunting. We had a wonderful time. Here's to new life! Enjoying spring of 2010:)

Catchin' up

So I haven't blogged yet this week, and of course I have a lot to blog about... so here goes:)

My boys sure do love to wrestle:) Ethan even gets pretty rough sometimes. I love all the laughter and jumping on each other! 

Then there was the snow day... Ethan was having a blast just smearing snowballs onto the sliding glass doors... they played on our patio for a good hour! 

Then would you expect anything else in Colorado? Within a couple of days it was warm and sunny. I got the boys new sunglasses which they love. Aren't they stylish??? :)

Here is a picture of a hat I made for a friend... I think that this one might just be my favorite! It didn't take much time at all and I love the colors!

My first applique! I am making a pillow for our bed. I think I am going to start a crocheted blanket as well that is green and brown. I made some pillow shams that I showed you in an earlier post, but decided that well... I hated them:) so no biggy... I am just taking it slowly and making different ones that I love. 

And last but not least... here are the squares that I cut out for a project for a friend... I will post the final project as soon as my friend gets them:)

As you can see I actually did a lot this week! Wow, I didn't realize how much I did until I got to showing it all to you:) Hope you enjoy!

Crochet Away

Lately I have been crocheting a lot:) I had never gotten how to do it before... things always turned out crooked or I just got bored with what I was doing. I finally got on the internet and just learned some new stitches and got some cool patterns and now I am addicted! I had made some cute little girlie hats a couple of weeks ago but forgot to take pictures. So here is the one I made for me! I think it turned out pretty cool! I  absolutely love the yarn I found on clearance at Hobby Lobby. It is so soft!

Puppets

At a trip to JoAnn's a couple of weeks ago, the boys picked out some of these fun foam animal puppets. We made them when we got home, but of course soon after they destroyed them. Ah well, at least it was fun while it lasted! And we plenty more to make some again:)

Dinosaurs!

Yesterday we went to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science for their free day. Andrew had been looking forward to seeing the dinosaurs for a while now, so I was excited to take them. They enjoyed it quite a bit. He talked about petting and riding them the whole way home. He obviously didn't get to ride or pet them, but I still think that he thinks they are big pets:)

Dang those teeth are HUGE! wouldn't want to have lived in them days!
