Our NEW Patio

BEFORE

AFTER!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS!!! YAY!!

I have always wanted a place to sit in the shade and hang flowers! So excited to BBQ and spend my summer out here.

Our AMAZING Family California trip

So here Iam finally posting about our amazing vacation! As some of you already know... we go to Disneyland just about EVERY year lol! And this year was no exception haha. We decided to go see some other sights along the way. The first place we went was Hoover Dam. WOW! I have never been there but I must say, it was something to see! There are building this AMAZING road over the dam and it is sooo cool! If you are ever in the Vegas area you have to see this thing.

We only walked about half way..well actually it was more like less than half way around the dam lol! I was totally freaked out! It was sooo far down and I could not stand to have my kids near this thing! So after we got a quick look we got out of there! My hubby thought I was nuts! But what can I say, I AM! LOL!

So then we took a little walk around Vegas. We didn't go to far just over to the Excalibur and the M&M Store. It was so dirty and there were so many naked pictures every where I had to get my kids out of there too! But we had fun driving down the strip and seeing all the pretty lights =-)

Here we are after arriving in Cali, we decided to go and check out the amazing Queen Mary. Its this really old ship that they say is Haunted! We did a haunted tour. It was so neat! A must see if you are ever in Long Beach!

So then we decided we wanted to go to Hollywood to see the stars in the sidewalk, well that turned into a nightmare! There was no where to park! NO WHERE!!! We drove around and drove around and drove around some more! A waist of time! So after that we decided to go and find some peace in the LA Temple. It was so beautiful! Another must see!

Here we are having fun at Newport Beach with are awesome friends the Hunter's. They were so nice and let us stay in their time share for the week for FREE! and we had to thank them with dinner. So we took them to The Old Spaghetti Factory and then we headed over to the ocean for so fun!

Here we are at the "happiest place on earth" LOL! Disneyland!! I LOVE THIS PLACE!

My sweet baby he is so cute! His daddy just had to buy him this sucker. (Even though it was like five bucks! ) How can you resist this face!?

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PLACE! Cant wait to come back!

So there you have it! What a fun trip! I am so happy we got to go down there and get some much needed rest! Fun time with the family! Brian wants to go again, THIS YEAR! LoL not to sure if that will happen....will see haha =-) there are more pictures on my facebook page if you want to see......until next time

A few Easter crafts...

This is a cute little craft that my cousin and I worked on Tuesday. I wanted to share it with you. It is hard to see (the lighting is bad and I am not a photographer lol!) It says Spring Flowers. I cut out a square out of some 2X6 that I had, painted it white and then we cut out the words and flowers with "sure cuts a lot" on my cricut. Turned out so cute!

This is a fun little tree that my girls and I made after we got done coloring the eggs. It is a branch from a tree in the backyard. We spray painted it white and added some flowers and eggs. So EASY and didnt cost me anything! I love projects where I have everything on hand!

My husband built me this amazing shelf! I just had to share it with you all! We found the design online and thought it looked easy enough. So here is the end product. If you are interested in learning how to do this let me know and I can post the site that I found it.

Also I wanted to show these cute blocks that I made. Its hard to see what it says with the flash but it says EGGS. Turned out really cute for this shelf. The sign that says SPRING goes on my front door but it got really windy the other night so it put it here and thought it looked cute

=-)

HAPPY CRAFTING!

What an awesome day we had! I hope everyone had a great Easter. We didnt go to any egg hunt this year I like to have my own, the hunts that the cities put on are to crowded and not very creative. So because there was a ton of snow on the ground outside we had our hunt inside! The kids had fun and thats all that matters =-D

The Easter Bunny stopped by and left his cute little footprints all over the place! (Such a cute idea. You take a sponge and cut it into a round shape, get it wet and dip it into flour. Make your footprints leading from the front door over to the baskets and out the back door. We hid the baskets so our footprints were all over)

SO CUTE and the kids went nuts!

Happy Easter

Christ the Lord is risen.

We wish your family a wonderful Easter.

With Love

The Holliday Family
