Indian Sari

In June, my new friend Rashmi had me and Rashi over.  We were talking in the front room, and the conversation suddenly changed.  Rashi and Rashmi started talking in Hindi and I obviously couldn't tell what they were saying.  Then they smiled, grabbed my hand and pulled me into Rashmi's bedroom.  They wanted to dress me up in one of their saris!  

I didn't object.  It was fun having them dress me up, put expensive jewelry on me and some extra make-up.  We did a little mini-photo session afterwards too.

Father's Day

Glenn and I wanted Paul to know how much we love him.  Glenn helped me make this card for Paul--he chose the colors and what Daddy was wearing.

Art in the Park

On a warm summer day in Austin, Glenn and I went to a park in down town Austin.  They have Arts in the Park for kids and do all kinds of fun things.  

The Largest Caterpillar You've Ever Seen

After the Thinkery, we met Daddy at his work to have a picnic lunch with him.  We went to a table outside and enjoyed the weather.  While sitting there we saw a large caterpillar on a nearby tree.  After looking at it for a time, we went back to eating.  Later we wanted to find it again, but couldn't see it.  The next thing we knew, it was climbing up Paul's pants!

Thinkery Again

We bought a year pass to the Thinkery so we could come again and again.  We went again in the beginning of June.  It was just Glenn and I this time, but we still had fun.  And we did some different things this time around.

Painting

Extras in May

There are always pictures that don't really have a title of their own.  So I lump them all together.  Here's our lump for the month of May.

Isn't Glenn's turtle so cute?!

Mother's Day

The best part of Mother's Day was our lunch after church.  We made crepe's and had some filled with fruit and some with ham and cheese.

It was really yummy--as you can see by the chocolate on my lip! :D

Babies!

Some of our friends have had babies lately.  We had fun visiting them and holding their cute babies.

String Tricks

Back in Utah I bought a string book from a garage sale.  I had learned how to do string tricks when I was younger and I thought it would be fun to have a book that showed more.  Glenn found it this month and wanted to learn how to do them.  I showed him and he looked at the book and figured out how to do the tricks.  

Happy Birthday to Me

Early May I celebrated my 29th birthday!

Paul found these little decorations on our camera.  We didn't know we could do that.  So he had fun playing around with that while taking pictures of me.

San Antonio Temple

Paul and I went down to do some work in the San Antonio Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  

Easter Sunday

Happy Easter!

This is one of my favorite pictures of Jesus Christ.

I am so grateful for His life, for His atonement, and for His resurrection.  Knowing that He lived and died for me gives me hope and joy for my eternal life.

Egg Hunts in the Park

Our local playgroup got together at the park to do an Easter Egg Hunt.  

Balance Bike Pedals!

April 19th was a great day at our home.  Glenn was finally ready for the pedals to be put onto his balance bike!!

Back yard Fun

We love the weather here in Austin in April!  It is so perfect!  Since it is so beautiful, we had some good fun with our friends in their backyard.

What better way to enjoy a quiet April afternoon than on a tire swing?

San Antonio Botanical Garden

Paul's aunt Bonnye and uncle Mark live in San Antonio--about an hour and a half away.  We have really enjoyed having family close by and have taken the opportunity many times to go down to be with them and to see things in San Antonio.  We usually go down Friday night, spend the night with them, then have Saturday to go and do things.  

Glenn has loved spending time with aunt Bonnye.  She is like another grandma to him!  When we went down in mid-April, she read him a bed-time story--and it was Tiki Tiki Tembo!  Does anyone else remember that story?!  I loved that book!  I can still say the name: Tiki Tiki Tembo No Sar Embo Chari Bari Ruchi Pip Peri Pembo!  

April

April was another month of fun and beautiful weather.  

Hair Cut

At the end of March I finally decided to cut my hair.  I had been thinking about it since November but hadn't decided what I want to do.  One of my friends at church had cut her hair short and it looked cute, so I asked where she got it cut.  She told me where and I finally made an appointment to get mine cut as well.  

The day of the appointment I had Paul take a picture of my hair before it was cut.  

St. Patrick's Day

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Good-bye to Maren

Maren had come to live with us starting around Christmas.  She had been out in the Washington D.C. area looking for jobs, but had no luck.  I invited her to live with us in Texas until she could find a job or whatever.  She took me up on that offer.  She quickly found a temporary job being a math tutor at a junior high.  She was also taking some online classes.  She was pretty busy, but we loved having her with us.
