emerging from the cacoon

Do you ever feel like not blogging anymore? I guess that's what has been happening to me- no desire. But, I was reminded yesterday of the beauty of updating for posterity.... so here is my try at getting better !!

Weather for the past month: rain, no sun, rain, sun, hot, no really cold... you get my drift. So, we have been trying to enjoy it with our swimsuits, our coats or whatever falls in between.

The day we went outside when it was raining and played with bubbles and then took a photo on the porch:

The couple of days that it was really hot- and I drove to Toys R Us to get a pool, and it wasn't in yet... so we took out some Sterilite containers and they loved it..







For Easter weekend, we played it really low key and spent time with Steve's mom who flew into town. Our amazingly nice neighbor dropped off some Easter dresses which of course they wanted to try on.... and they were pretty cute:


Easter Egg #2 wasn't so happy, but we got her in the photo...



Aside from normal life, we "redid" the front of our house. Since this infamous house is basically the black hole of anything that resembles money, we have had to do stuff in stages.

Finally, we reached the stage of our walkway, our porch and some plants... just in time too. We got a ticket from the city that our weeds were getting too long?! Just can't get over that one.







I haven't taken a photo of it done! Ah! But- it's 9:30 pm, and you wouldn't see much! It's great. We love it. Now, for the column, painting, the master bath.... and so the list continues.

Wow! The front of the house looks so good! Funny about that note from the city too. I love the idea of Sterilite containers for pools too! Totally understand the blogging thing... except ours has been an 8 month hiatus...

Hooray for another post! I've been worried that things haven't been going well since its been awhile since you last posted. Glad to see everyone is doing well and enjoying the sunshine that Salt Lake hasn't been seeing.

The house is looking good! You'll have to post more pictures of the finished product soon.
