THE END =)

of one great day

EASTER at its best!

We made an egg for each one of us and every grand child.

One of Ben's first creations...he's still in the beginner phases ;)

This was my poor attempt of a football (of course my egg for Ben). I think next time I see a football I should do a better job studying it, you never know when your going to need to draw one on an egg.

A true artist. Not only can he color them, but he can create many delicious meals with them.

Hey little D, I worked hard on getting just the right shade of orange I hope that you approve.

Wow. I am one lucky girl, lol.

Letting my creative energy flow.

I hope you approve Mr. Easter Bunny

The finished product! The Robin/Layne crew will except payment in exchange for professional egg dyeing lessons. Requirements: 1.) It must be late so you are tired and loopy. 2.) You have to surrender your favorite mug and be prepared for a permanent new color. 3.) By the end of the session if your fingers are not appropriately colored for days you have done something terribly wrong.

My Valentine

Best Valentines EVER!

He can't do just one, but I can't complain I love three! These were made and delivered to my work on Saturday by my lovely new sister Mindy. I think I blush every time =)



I finally got my wedding band! Ben gave it to me at our favorite restarant Tiburon. Since we have done a lot of wedding planning backwards I like to think of it as my engagement ring. He got a little nervous giving it to me...I think he knows he still owes me a proposal, and I'm not going to forget!



Ben did an amazing job...with a little push in the right direction ;)



I am one lucky girl, with an amazing Husband.

Sun Valley, Idaho

On the Road...


Our temporary get-away


Neat snow sculpture right as
you enter/exit the resort


Ben didn't cooperate with me taking photo's,
so there are a few good shots and a lot of attitude.


This is what a snow shoe's look like


Ben showing you how its done


I really didn't expect to sink with the shoes as far as we did,
but i'm sure with our regular boots we would have been thigh high.


The view from the top of the little
hill we climbed and conquered


Snow shoeing = hard work


I loved all the shops and restraunts
right outside our door!


Random Racoon, I've only seen them
squished on the side of the road


More random attitude

Cute little duckies, they must

be warm my coat sure is

I spent a lot of my time by the fire reading

some books while Ben was in work shops

Our room, it smelled (and looked) just like my

Grandpa "Papa's" old condo, it felt like home

Some cooperation...but still attitude
