Lulu, Wally, and Cole

My sister Leisa and her Husband Wally and her baby Cole came to visit me on Saturday.   WE had so much fun!   Thanks so much for coming to visit me lu,  I just love it when you come.  

We went out to eat at Bangkok Grill. Wally was so tired, he went hunting that morning and then came straight here.  This is him and Cole sleeping at the restraunt.

Westin really was happy to be there

Emily met up with us for dinner too!  Thanks for coming em, it was so much fun to hang out with you too!

This is a swing in my front yard.  I think Cole liked it... or liked eating it.

Isn't he cute

Thanks for looking! Don't forget to post a comment

I painted my bathroom! And Westin and Rodger Play Mario Kart!

This is Westin and his dad Rodger playing the Wii after Rodger brought us the cuddle bag to use as a living room couch.  Westin had just finished working out... for 3 hours.  Isn't he such a hottie!

Okay, so on Monday (Labor Day) Westin and I both had the day off of work (which never happens) and so we decided we would just spend the day together.  Well, one thing led to another and we... painted the bathroom.  Here are some before pics and after pics to follow.

This is is where our mirror was.  Notice all the different colors of paint.

I don't know how this corner got missed when they painted the rest of the bathroom "pee" yellow, but somehow it did.

This is Westin holding the old medicine cabinet. This picture doesn't capture its ugliness. 

"Pee" Yellow walls with yellow tiles in the bath tub.

Doesn't it look so much better? We painted the walls and the ceiling (with permission from our landlords) and put in a new medicine cabinet (you'll see that in following pics)

New medicine cabinet with my super hott husband.

Westin can't help but smile when he pees in the newly painted bathroom...

Westin shaving his tongue

What's the fun in painting if you can't have a little "paint war" while doing it.

Thanks for looking, tell me what you think!

Welcome Cole Steven Wallace!

My beautiful sister Leisa finally had her gorgeous baby boy, Cole Steven Wallace,  May 12, 2008 around 3:00 PM.  He was 7 pounds 15 ounces, 21 inches long and he is just adorable.  We went and saw him Monday night after he was born.   So cute!

I couldn't help but get a picture of his little feet.  All ten toes are there

Doesn't Leisa look so good!  She will be such a great Mom!

I know this is blurry but look how much blonde hair he has!  I love it.

Congrats Leisa!  You make such a beautiful Mom!  You and Wally will be such great parents!

Picnic on Monday Hogle Zoo on Thursday

WARNING!!!  Tons of pictures to follow.  So I didn't work on Monday and it was such a warm day (note, if it doesn't stop getting really warm, then cold the next day I might have a meltdown I am so super ready for summer) Anyway, so when Westin came home for lunch I had a surprise picnic ready in our back yard. It was so super fun.  Thanks honey for amusing me.

Then on Thursday (today) my Mom, Sister Crystal, Sister Heidi (with her husband Jared, and their son Xander), Brother Isaac ( with his wife Jenny, and their girls Jaqueline, and Alex) and myself (Westin was a work :(  Went to Hogle Zoo 'cause it was Crystal's Spring Break.  It was so much fun, thanks Mom for putting it together, your the best.

Here is Jaqueline in her wagon we stole for her.  Isn't she so  cute

cute little monkey, it was literally smaller than my hand

"fake elephant" Alex didn't really like playing on it very much, if you can tell she is crying

"Do You Measure Up?" I really couldn't help but get all the pictures that seem necessary at least one time in your lifetime.  So here are a bunch (Crystal, Ike, Jaqueline, I've got you covered)

Me, obviously not as big as a gorilla

Crystal, not as big as the gorilla

Jaqueline, completely inside the gorilla, (still not as big)

Jaqueline and Ike together may be as big as a gorilla

thirsty? Good thing these lions weren't working, because they were discusting. But, my salvation should be safe because I at least got a picture of my head in the mouth.

Crystal in the lions mouth

Xander not so sure if he wants to put his head in the mouth of the lion

Me in the mouth of the lion

Jaqueline in the mouth of the lion

I went on the train ride twice, once with Xander and Heidi and Jared, once with Mom, Ike, Jenny Jaqueline, and Alex, (Crystal was with me both times)
