Gocart Madness

Today was our work out in the yard day. We put down weed cloth and then spread out a bark look alike. It's made out of recycled tires and it is supposed to keep it's color for up to 15 years. It looks just like bark. We also decided to try a topsy turvy strawberry planter so we did that today as well. We'll have to let you know if it works or not!! Dini brought up a croquet set she had from the school that hadn't been used so we said we'd take it (nothing beats free games!). We convinced Dini to try our gocart out while she was up here. We took a video of it so all could enjoy!

Dini drove the gocart pretty well! She even skidded around the corners!

My sister's a married woman!

Well it's official now, Lindie has been married for almost 2 days. It was raining the day before she got married, but it was a beautifully sunny day on her wedding day.(Whew!) I snapped a few pics up at the temple.



Someone got this carraige for her. It was a cute idea but those horses were very stinky!!! :o) We took some pictures of the temple grounds. It was so pretty!



My Grandpa and Grandma came from California. It's been so long since I've seen them. I enjoyed every minute I had with them! They are off to New York to the museums and the Yankee's game. I'm jealous, but I'll survive! It's finally been decent weather here. Well here's a couple more pics we took at the temple.



I think Lindie got the perfect wedding day which is what we all wanted. Her husband Tyler seems like a great guy. Congrats again you two!

Mothers Day!

Well we had a pretty good Mothers Day. I had to work until 7pm so Casey decided he would make dinner for his mom and have her up to our house to eat. I left him step by step instructions on how to make everything. He said there was a lot more work involved in making dinner than he thought! Casey sent me a picture on my phone of some flowers he got for me. I got home from work at 7:30 and had my family and Casey's family over. I had spent about 2 hours the night before making a special cake for Mothers Day. For my mom I got her a cake stand that my grandma had said she wanted. So I brought the cake out on her cake stand. Everyone thought that I had bought the cake. Then my mom looked closer at the cake stand and said, "Hey you have the cake stand I wanted!". It was fun to see her reaction when I said it was for her! Well here is the cake I made. Really its kind of plain. I wanted to do more to it, but I didn't have time.



I made Dini that scrapbook book but I didn't get a picture of her with it. I think she liked her book though. Here are some other pictures of our Mother's Night.


We just had part of both our families there. So those who weren't there, we missed you and hope you had a great Mothers Day!

Funny Clips

Does this remind anyone of their morning routine? It does for me! I'm always running late it seems. I especially like his exercises, mine are about the same!!



I think this is hilarious! Casey showed it to me awhile ago but it's still funny!



This is a more recent one from The Office. It's one of our favorite shows. We can't quite get this impersonation down but it's fun to try!

Weekend Craft

I found a great blog that has tons of cute fun craft ideas. I found a tutorial on how to make Mod Podge shoes. Here's a picture of the before shoe.


So I just found a cheap plain flat shoe to try it on. I went and found me a little bit of cute fabric, bought the Mod Podge stuff and a foam brush and here's what I ended up with!

I found this blog through Nicole's blog so thanks Nicole!!! Here is the website of the blog http://craftedbykatie.blogspot.com. The only thing I might try different next time is the Mod Podge makes the shoe kind of stiff, so I might try doing it with hot glue. Anyways, I do think it's a cute shoe. Now I have to go find something to wear it with!
