Tornado

Needless, to say, this past week has been horrific for the people living in the South. Thankfully our family is safe and sound and have only had to deal with no electricity for a few days and fallen trees everywhere.Unfortunately some of our friends have had to deal with alot of property damage. It was a really scary experience and we are praying for those how have been hit by the tornado. The church and community have been working hard at providing relief to the victims here and it has been really neat to see how the community has become united in helping the cause. This week, we had Sacrament meeting outside because the electricity was still not on so that was a little interesting. But in general, life is going back to normal especially since Michael has finals during the next couple of weeks.

Here is a video I made of some of the damage. It is so strange to drive around town and to see piles and piles of wood everywhere from the fallen trees. Thank you everyone for your throughts and prayers.Keep them heading this way since there are supposedly more coming our way later this spring.

Easter Photo Session



He is risen, he is risen!
Tell it out with joyful voice:
he has burst his three days' prison;
let the whole wide earth rejoice:
death is conquered, man is free,
Christ has won the victory.
-He is Risen Hymn

Playdough Playdate

Recently, Kalai had a few of her friends over and we had a playdough themed playgroup. First I made playdough and had them watch me dye the balls different colors.

Aren't they so cute together?

Friends!

This is how my hand looked after I had dyed all the playdough. People must have thought I was a freak all day walking around with a hand like that since no matter how much I scrubbed I couldn't get it all off during my shower. Or off during the next, for that matter!
Then I made an eatable playdough!

Kalai wasn't too sure what to think of it.

Josh liked it okay.

And Corinne loved it.

I mean really REALLY loved it.

Cupcakes

My friends Amy and Hilda, both amazing bakers, were the inspiration behind these cupcakes! Today I felt up to a challenge and googled cupcakes and came up with these. Michael and I got straight to work. I'm pretty proud of how they turned out!






This little girl loves her veggies :)

Pi+(E)+ Day = Happy Birthday Michael!!!

Happy early Pie Day and Happy Early Birthday to Michael!!! Every year it is a tradition for me to make some pies for Michael's birthday which so happens to fall on Pi Day. We had some of our friends over, the Edwards, Atwood's, Norris' and Mouritsen's and enjoyed an evening of good food and good friends. Here's how they turned it. Mmmmm...

Yesterday we had a fun early bday celebration for my hubby! I surprised him with cheese fondue for dinner and then The Melting Pot for dessert! Mmmm white chocolate creme brulee...yum! I love him.



One year ago we went to Sandestin FL for Spring Break! Heading there again tomorrow to spend some time with some of my favorite people!!! ♥ We are excited to do some more birthday celebrations there. I've got a few surprises up my sleeve. Pictures to come!

Also, this is old news but I just wanted to post a picture of the first sewing project that I have done in a long time. I got a sewing machine for Christmas so it has been fun fiddling around with it. I sewed this blanket for a friend of mine. Amy's nursery is decorated with a cupcake theme since she is an amazing baker so look closely and you can see tiny cupcakes on the material. Sewing her this blanket was totally worth it cause as a "Thank-you" Amy baked cupcakes that were flavored, pink lemonade, rootbeer, peanut butter chocolate chip, and key lime pie! I am in the middle of another project but this one is gonna take me longer but I like where it is going so I'll post pictures of it when I am done.



AND

Thanks Grandma for the Homemade Hair Bows......


They make me HAPPY!

Love,
K
Hope everyone has a fantastic Spring Break!!!

A couple of weeks ago, I spontaneously decided to work on a project for Kalai. Here's how it turned out!
The first layer is magnetic paint.

Bon Appetit!!!



For Christmas, my parents gave Kalai her very own homemade kitchen!!! It is so adorable and I love the vintage feel of it. It is made from an Ikea dresser. Words cannot describe how cute it is but maybe some pictures will.....














Thank you Grandpa and Grandma Familia!
