Monterey, CA

 

This last weekend Easter weekend I head up to Monterey, CA to visit Zakk (my cousin), his wife Autumn and their daughter Bella. It was a busy weekend! Saturday Bella had 3 separate egg hunts! What a lucky girl! The pictures are in order of egg hunts!

• At the Barnyard: Carmel, CA
• Bella found an egg that had $1.10 in it!!
• Ward members in their new ward.
• Bella was very protective of her eggs!
• Ward members in there old ward.
• Bella found half of them and her friend found the other half. 10 eggs each!!

 

That night we wen down to the beach! (Not sure which one and had a so called bonfire and roasted marsh mellows. Their friends Kyle, Kendra, Shea (spelling?) and Ashley joined us. Bella was afraid of the fire! but thought it was pretty cool that Zakk could jump over it.

This is the famous Grandpa William's Smile!!

Backyard Garden Plans

Remember I had 2 post about the backyard garden. Well the final decisions are almost decided and hopefully we can buy at least the stepping stones this weekend and the parts for the fountain when mom and dad get back from Washington on April 10th.

I Have IT!

May dad and I went to Lowe's and Home Depot yesterday afternoon to get miniature roses and look at stepping stone ideas for the backyard garden. My dad gave me the idea to do a rock path (shown edited in the picture below) and than paving stones on the raised part.

Tomorrow I will plant the roses and weed more and take another picture!!

In Our Backyard

See the big patch of dirt on the right side. It is the empty spot. Will I pulled a big plant out yesterday that was over taking my mom's mini roses.

Will now I need some ideas for that big empty spot...pond and fountain...just fountain...more plants...

We need to hide the sprinkler system pipes but still have excess able...ummmm

Caterpillar Bib

I love this bib! I found the pattern by simiplicy. There are other option as well. This one is for my sister Bethany's new baby boy Samuel. I plan on making one for my brother Dan's new boy Jacob also but a different animal. I think I will make a few for our ward silent auction also.

Day 51

Well I am now just 2 chapters behind in being caught up to day 51. It is better than 10 chapters!!

Well time to get some sleep, have to be up real early to take my mom to the airport. She is head to Utah to help Bethany and there family adjust to little Samuel in their lives.

Day 50

Well I can't believe it I actually fell behind in my scripture reading. I am 10 chapters behind. So my goal tomorrow is to catch up. I kind of slack off because one night I forgot and than almost forgot the next night so, I just read read one chapter and one chapter after that. So tomorrow is my day to catch up.
