Easter Eggs!

My mom, Landon's Nana, came to visit and to color Easter Eggs this weekend! We had talked about coloring Easter Eggs the weekend before with my sister (in-law) and nephew but I was afraid Landon would drink the dye or something kooky like that. However, my smart brother pointed out that it is probably non-toxic..... wish I had thought of that last weekend. None the less we still had a great time with Nana coloring eggs.... oh and Landon did in fact try to drink the dye and lick the spoons!
This was our first year coloring eggs since I was a kid..eerrrr.... highschool kid... lol we colored eggs at my house well into highschool. But I found some really cool tricks on Pinterest for some little ideas on coloring Easter eggs! We used Muffin Tins for some of our coloring dye and the empty slots we used them to dry the eggs. We also used only vinegar in half of the colors and just a little bit of water in the others. The ones with only vinegar were BOLD!! the ones with just a little bit of water were a little bit lighter. I mostly loved the bold colors- but the light green was almost a lime green and it was beautiful!!! Here are some of our pictures coloring eggs at the picnic table having tons of fun!

Photo Challenge!

I found a photo challenge on Pintrest and I have tweaked it a little. I don't consider myself a photographer... or anything close to it. I just like pictures. I love looking at old pictures and I actually love pictures that aren't perfect, one day I'll love looking in the background of a photo to see an old stove, what we were having for dinner, or Landon's toys thrown all over! So, I'm not taking this challenge to stretch my skills in photographer, but I'm taking the challenge to find items and things in my life that I want to remember :) So each day I look for a picture to meet the day's challenge and to add some memories. I hope you enjoy checking them out.
Since today is February 4th, there are 4 photos! So here ya go!

Day 1: Your View Today
This was the beautiful face that I woke up to today :) I would say this is the best view I could ask for!

Day 2: Words
This is the quote that I have on my wall in my office at work.

Day 3: Something that makes you smile
Landon always makes me smile! But his humor and smile make me happier x2

Day 4: Life
This is my one of my best gal pals at her baby shower from today. What a better representation of life than a new life! and she looks so happy!
