Easter!!

I have tried writing this blog 2 times already, and Blogger keeps messing it up. I am sick of re-blogging. I am not going to re-type everything again, so you will just get some pictures with a few captions. Enjoy!

The Easter Bunny brought the girls each a new tool belt full of real tools! Now they have tools that are just their size to build their projects with!

It has been a tradition for a few years now to go fishing at Toston Dam on Easter. The weather was BEAUTIFUL!! A perfect day for fishing, excpet the fish weren't biting. Bummer. It was still really nice to get out and enjoy the day!

Nick and Megan came with us.

Jake met up with his friend Titus at the dam.

Hidden Treasure

We got out and about this morning for our first hike/geocaching of the season. We went up to the Buffalo Jump State Park to hike around and to find a hidden treasure box. We had never been to the Buffalo Jump and it is only about 10 miles from our house. We didn't end up finding the treasure box because we ended up on the wrong trail, and by the time we turned around, it was lunch time.

After lunch, we decided to go find some treasure that was a little closer to our house and knew it was an easy find. Sierra spotted the treasure first! It sure is nice to be able to get outside again!

Olde Town Rustic Furniture

Jake has a new blog with all of his awesome furniture he makes! Check it out! http://www.oldetownrusticfurniture.blogspot.com/

Bedroom Camping

The girls wanted to go camping. Obvisouly that wasn't going to happen, so Jake thought it would be fun to pitch a tent in their room! Of course the girls LOVED it!

The tent pretty much takes up all the free space in their room.

They even have beautiful stars to gaze up at while falling asleep. The tent has been up in their room for a few days now, and I think it is time to take it down.

Jakes Latest Projects

Jake made this shelf to go above our tv/wood stove area in our living room. The wall was just blank, so we decided it needed a shelf. The wood he used was just scrap that had been sitting out back. I like the weathered look. The shelf turned out very nice and looks good on the wall!

Here is another shelf he made. He actually made two of them. The other one is a little longer than this one, but is made out of the same material, so it looks just like this one.

I guess he got tired of building, so he started tiling. He tiled around both of our shower/tubs. Both bathrooms turned out so nice! I really adds to much to the feel of the room. This one is in our bathroom.

And these slate tiles are in the other bathroom. It is pretty nice to have a handy man around! Speaking of having a handy man, he is in the crawl space replacing our heating ducts as I type ... a handy man sure is nice!

Just Past Half Way

Well, here I am. I have had family telling me for a while now that they want to see some pics, so, here I am. I am 21 weeks this week, and getting bigger by the day!

A Project For The Weekend!

Jake had this fun idea to let the girls make their own bird houses! Jake cut all the pieces and pre-drilled holes, so the girls could pound their nails in and build their own bird houses! What a fun project (and dad!)!

Now its time to paint!

All done!

This is Sierra's. She painted a dinosaur on the front.

This is Maddie's.

ME

I just had to show everyone this cute picture that Sierra drew of ME! See the belly? How cute!

My Little Crafty Girl

I am very proud of Sierra's sailboat she made. She shut herself in the craft room, and went to town making this beauty! I love the cute steering wheel (or whatever you call them on boats). If you look hard, in the middle of the sail is a skull and crossbones. I guess this would be a pirate ship then! Love it!

Random

Here are a bunch of random photos from the last few months. Enjoy!

Sierra crafted this witch all on her own. She designed it, cut and glued completely all by herself! Very proud mom moment!


Sierra drew these lovely designs all over their faces. Not exactly sure where I was during this fun time... probably napping.

The awesome outfit Maddie made for her baby!

Another look.

Sierra drew this picture. A girl riding her bicycle. Cute!

A dinosaur eating a person!

Just doing some finger painting.

She went out to play in the snow, but came back a super muddy mess!!!

Maddie is teaching her baby how to play the piano.

Maddies cute picture!
