Dustin's Argentina Trip

Igazu Waterfalls-These things are huge and very pretty. Lots of water flowing constantly.

They happened to run into the missionaries at the airport because it was transfer day. Guess that brought back old memories. I think they had fun talking with them.

Bueno Aires downtown. Dustin and Ian said that it is home of the biggest road in the world. I guess it's 20 lanes wide. Pretty cool huh....The road is right behind that giant statue.

Oh there ya go, a picture of the huge road!!

Dustin and Ian had fun playing dress up in a huge fur coat.

I didn't post a pictures of the people they visited, because I don't know their names and there are too many. Anyways here are a few pictures of Dustin's trip. He had a blast seeing everyone he met on his mission, and I think it really touched their hearts to remember the feelings they had while serving their mission.They did a lot of traveling on buses and airplanes in just a few days so that they could visit quite a few areas they each served. They also stopped by the giant waterfall named Igazu and rode a boat right next to it. That is something they didn't get to do while on their mission. They also enjoyed taking turns riding on one of the member's moped. I guess that's a pretty major mode of transportation there. All in all I think they had a wonderful trip, and even though I was missing him I'm glad he got to go. Not to mention since he's been back I've hardly had to do the dishes. (No I don't even ask him, he's just been doing them voluntarily.) Guess he missed us too. I hope someday they get to go back and bring us with them!!

Easter Events

There are a lot of pictures I'd like to post, but my computer does blogging so slow, that I just don't have the patience. These pictures are probably a good overview of how our Easter went.Logan had a blast decorating eggs. Of course all the eggs "balls" were broken by the end, so I didn't even end up hiding them on Easter. The best part was at the end when his fingers were colored we washed them, but the color didn't come off. Logan was so annoyed he kept holding hand up saying "nasty". Then he went to the hand towel and stood there for like 10 minutes trying to wipe off the color, and then when that didn't work he tried to lick it off. My sister and I were cracking up. She showed him her colored fingers, and he grabbed her hand and took her the hand towel and tried to clean her fingers too. This is my typical child, he hates for his hands to be dirty. Dustin was gone during the egg decorating. He came home from Argentina Easter morning and then drove like crazy from Houston to get home after we were out of church. Logan and I were so excited when we came home from church to find Daddy waiting on us. It was a very sweet reunion. Even though he was totally exhausted he still spent time with us looking for eggs. Unfortunately it rained so we had to hunt eggs inside. So anyways that's our Easter overview. Next, I'll post pictures of the Argentina trip!

Remeber the Chair......

Well here it is!! The finished project. I've actually been done for about a month, but I've been a bit lazy when it comes to blogging. I wanted so badly to maintain the original look by staying with gold fabric, but there was none to be found, so I went with burgundy chenille. I think it turned out pretty well for my first and last upholstery job. It was fun, but a lot of work. I think all in all I spent about $50 dollars on the chair and about a week worth of work. Not bad for a free chair.

P.S. The reason why I haven't put any pictures from Dustin's trip up is because my camera didn't charge for some reason and he only got like 7 pictures. Thank goodness that Ian's camera worked, and we are just waiting to go visit this weekend and get a CD for all the pictures. So stay tuned for Argentina pictures, and some late Easter pictures.

Almost like Christmas morning

I am so excited for tomorrow, not because it's Easter Sunday, but because Dustin is coming home. He's been in Argentina for 10 whole days, and even though I'm glad he got to go and spend time with friends and members he knew from his mission, I can't wait to see him again.

This week I worked, which I've not done in 2 years, for a dental office. I worked for Dustin at his office while he was gone, and I realized that it really isn't for me. I don't like assisting at all anymore, and I really didn't like being away from Logan. It made me realize how much I appreciate a husband who wants me at home with the kids. When I would get home every night I would be totally exhausted. My feet hurt, my back ached, and then I had to start my mommy duties. I realize how hard it must be for all those single moms out there. Kudos!!!

Well I guess when he gets back and I get more details, I'll share some pictures from the trip. That's what's been going on in our little corner of the world!!

Little Escapee

So Logan hates getting dressed after a bath. He'd make a great nudest, and that would surely make my life easier!! So after his bath this day, I put him down to walk to his room and he took off like a streak of lightning in the opposite direction with his towel flapping in the wind like superman. I just went ahead to his room to get clothes, and when I started searching for him this is what I found. Streaking on his Boom Boom!!
