MANJA'S LATEST MAKEOVER PROJECT

Okay, my latest project is our bathroom. Obviously it was very dated - the 1990's oak had a long run, but had to go. It's funny how you stop seeing details when you are around them everyday. I think it finally hit me when my sister and her family came for a visit and one of my young nephews asked his mother, "Mom, why do the Van Bibbers have a wooden toilet seat?" Yes, sad to say, but even the throne had an oak seat.

So, with a budget of about $30 I stripped, stained, painted, and sprayed everything oak and hopefully updated it a bit. I still love my light green walls and I'll keep them a bit longer. Eventually the light fixture needs to be replaced, along with the flooring, and as Annie pointed out, "Mom you need another color in here to go with the green and brown!" I'm thinking tomato red or an orange/red color. What do you think?

Here are some before and after photos. And I know the bathroom is small, we've lived with it for 18 years, but it sure gets smaller when you try to take pictures!?!

EASTER SUNDAY WITH FAMILY

We all gathered at Grandma and Grandpa Z's for Easter Dinner. The food was great, the day was beautiful and the kids were darling. Mike's family joined us along with Laura, Quinn and Emma. We took pictures of the cutest ones, of course, --the KIDS!!

SUPER SUNDAY (Conference Sunday)

What a beautiful Spring Sunday!! Still on the
chilly side, but clear and sunny.
What a great conference weekend! I loved
all the talks and counsel we received.
Now, we just need to keep on a course
of faith and obedience.

Quinn, Lauralee and Emma came to visit.
We had our first "Super Sunday" dinner which
will now include all the favorites also found at
Superbowl Sunday dinner.

We had a great time playing with Emma,
eating plenty of 7 layer bean dip, a round of
Phase 10, and watching rescuers pull
people off the mountainside just east of
our house. All and all, a very entertaining afternoon.

Even Uncle Curt, Aunt Cindi and the kids stopped
by for a visit on their way to Tremonton to visit family.

This little sweater was also worn by Emma's mother

when she was just a wee little lass!

But I don't want to go home,

I want to stay and live with Grandma!!
