A little spruce up for Emmy's room

Emmy's room was pretty plain and boring and I did not have a ton of money to spruce it up, but thanks to the help of my good friend Val I was able to make it look a little better and only spent about 30$
Thanks Val for all your help1 ; )

Big bottle of baby powder + Kids = big white mess!

So the other day I have Randi help me hang a couple of pictures in Emmys room real quick. The kids we have left sitting on the couch in her room watching a movie. A few min later Brekken comes into Emmy's room with suspicious looking white stuff all over him. Randi smells it and says oh shoot I think they got into the bottle of baby powder I just bought! I walk on down to Randi's room, open the door, and walk into a big white cloud of dust!!! I see Emmy jumping up and down on a once maroon couch that is now white,  laughing as it makes big poofs of powder come up. Kennilee is also laughing as she continues to pour out more baby powder onto the couch to continue the neat effect!
Needless to say it took a while to clean up but Randi and Kenneths room still smells baby fresh!

You can still see some of the powder in the air in this pic

Easter & Emmy's first big ouch!

I love Easter! It is my favorite holiday! I love the colors, love the candy, love that time of year, and also love the meaning of easter!
This easter we went out saturday for a picnic some 4-wheeling and an easter egg hunt. The kids had a blast and I was surprised at how quick emmy caught on to the easter egg hunt. I showed her how to find the first one after that she was cruzin around picking up easter eggs, she made out with quite the loot!
On sunday we had a nice breakfast then let the kids out in the back yard to find their easter baskets and then listed to conference.
The following week Rem, Traci, and Traci's family came down from logan to hang out and play. One of the days we went out to a favorite spot of ours to paint ball ride 4-wheelers and shoot clay pigeons. We had been there for about a half hour when emmy started screaming over by the 4-wheeler, that someone had just got done ridding. I went over to see what was wrong, and she kept trying to brush her hand off so I looked at it to see if I could find what was wrong and sure enough her hand was red, white and starting to blister! The poor thing had touched the exhaust and burned the crap out of her poor little hand!
She screamed pretty good  for the first hour and a half till we got it all bandaged up, then she was back to playing! All in all it was really good easter! Late Happy Easter everyone!
