THE CONTAINER STORE!! Can it get better than this?

While in San Jose we drove by "The Container Store". WOW! I was like a kid in a candy store. There were organizational items for storage, closets, office, kitchen, garage, travel, hooks, bath and even organization of tiny boxes for your littlest treasures. Jeff thought I was out of my mind as to how excited I was...but I took my time and soaked it all in.
Can’t wait to go back!!

Our visit to California

The kids had off a whole week for spring break so we decided to go and visit Jeff’s family in California. (San Jose, Monterey, Capitola and Santa Cruz) We haven’t been there in about 6 years so it was great to catch up and see everyone again. We stopped in Reno to see my family too.

Spring cleaning....

I think spider webs (or cobwebs as some people call them) are one of the coolest things around. I love looking at their detail and their beauty. With it trying to get warmer outside I’ve seen some new webs popping up. They aren’t big, but they are pretty cool.

However, I don’t like webs in the house. This weekend I am going to clean as many as I can find. The corners of the walls are the worst…some streaming from one corner to another. yuck!

How many webs do you have in your house?

My little gymnast!

Callie started back into gymnastics two months ago. (She took a 2 year break to try dance, ice skating, soccer and karate.) She remembers a few moves, but is back to refreshing herself and her muscles. She has already been moved up to the next level and in April it gets harder.

Keep up the great job!

Spring is in the air!

Playing outside with cousins! Can you feel spring is in the air?

My toughest temptation at Easter!

I pass these in the store every week…not buying them. AUGH! If I had my way I’d eat a few a day. Can’t wait until they are out of the store so the temptation is gone! YUMMY!

A Valentines surprise!

Most women want flowers, diamonds or chocolate for Valentines…..me…..I wanted the garage sheet rocked. ha! While I was in St. George with McCall Jeff surprised me and started framing and sheet rocking the garage walls. He is almost done and soon we will build shelves to store all our stuff. Maybe then we can get stuff off the floors and in a more organized fashion. You all know that I love organization so the thought of cleaning up the garage floor is really exciting to me.

(Yes, I am strange in that way.)

Thank you “hunny bunny” for working so hard. I can’t wait to get it done.
