Easter Weekend

It's so weird now that we've moved-- I feel totally disconnected from everyone even though I'm like ten minutes away! I still need to put before and after pictures but we aren't quite done with the after yet-- we're doing some remodeling already (we haven't even unpacked everything yet) so I don't want to do after pictures or have a house warming party until we are at least done with phase one of the remodel.

So, Easter was lots of fun. My mom came and had a great time with us. She bought Tyler a moterized car (yes, he is one year old and no he doesn't need it but Grandma is a spoiler). He actually loves whizzing around in it. He's pretty good at steering it too.


My mom brought many other gifts and had a great time showering them on Tyler.

I have been doing nothing but painting (every wall in in every room). The other night Erik was taking Tyler in for a bath and he says to me, "How good is your sense of humor right now?" Whenever he asks that I'm always very cautious. He took naked Tyler and pressed his little behind and feet onto the wet paint on the wall and then pressed him on the white wall I hadn't painted yet. Here is the result:

We always tie-dye our Easter eggs every year. They seem to come out pretty cool so I thought I'd share some pics from the dying session:




We had lots of fun! Ok I have to get back to painting now! New flooring is going in soon and I have to get the painting done before the floors can be re-done!

I don't care if you're not done- I want to see pictures! The painting of "Tyler" is hilarious ;)! And your eggs are really cute how'd you get them to look like that?

We tie dye our eggs by wrapping them in a hot piece of cotton fabric (a ripped up bedsheet or pillowcase works just fine) and then use eye droppers to put the color on. My great grandpa invented it. We should have patented it and made a million bucks. Oh well.

This post is not coming to you VIA Jennifer. This is her husband, Erik. I decided to hijack her blog (ah...the things you can do when in possession of another's password) and tell her how I feel about her. This will probably not be posted for long, I am sure as soon as she sees it she will remove it. HERE GOES! Jennifer, my dear, I love you oh so very much. On Monday is our 1 year anniversary! A whole year! That may not seem like much, but my oh my it has flown by quickly. Since you are a relative young'un that year actually represents around 4.76% of your entire lifespan(thus far). I still keep my eye out for things that represent 'US'. Who can forget the 'EJ' Truck? I have never stopped looking for, nor noting 28s as they pop up all over the place. I notice all of the little things you do. I notice the little faces you make. I notice the little noises you make. I notice the slight shifting of your posture in response to my incessant joking. This face was made...

One Month Old

Tyler turned one month old on Friday! He has grown and changed a lot just in the last couple of weeks. It is so much fun to watch him now that he is smiling and holding his head all the way up and clasping his hands together--interlaced as if in prayer. He is the cutest baby (ok, so I'm biased). We've had a hard week though (make that almost two weeks--I've been trying to publish this post for 5 days). The other day he screamed for almost 24 hours straight. Luckily Jaime came over to show me how to help relieve his gas and he calmed down for a couple of hours. He has been up all night, up all day and just kind of hard to deal with. Of course I still love him, which is weird. Usually its hard to love someone who deprives you of sleep. :) Update: Like I said, I have been trying to publish this for almost a week--I have had literally no time between work and a screaming baby and laundry and dishes and cooking and cleaning but alas I think I now have 5 minutes! Anyway, Ty...
