He is soooo cute and so happy and has the chubbiest, pinchiest ( I know that's not a word) cheeks ever!!! He is about 6 months old and was a very calm and pleasant baby. We loved to be able to give his parents an opportunity to have a date night. I had fun just holding him all night long!
Luke had fun too and even changed his first diaper ever. Of course I had to talk him through the whole thing step by step, but that's okay. One day, he'll become a pro! 
Jonah loved the camera and loved when the flash would go off. He was alot of fun and we had a great time in our pre-parenthood "lessons".Any of you out there need a date night with your sweety, we would love to help you out!
The one on my hand is an Easter Egg with a lamb in it!! It was fun and boy were there alot of kids. All the kids wanted tatoos and some on their foreheads, which was funny becuase water just ran down their faces, but they didn't mind. Look at this cute little girl after she found her treat bag and eggs:
It was alot of fun for us and we hope for the kids. The most important thing is that every kid that came to play got a chance to hear the gospel. What fun! 
Here's the stinky part of the story: After church, we came back to the house to get Missy and some table decorations quickly before having to get to my in-laws for Easter lunch. We got there and started to decorate and then it hit me: I FORGOT THE COOKIES AT HOME! I was soooo bummed out. Just like the Little Rascals movie quote says, "All this work for nothing!" oh well, I took them to work and my kids ate them all. Luke also helped me decorate the table in a very Easter and Spring way. 
After lunch, we all just relaxed and chilled. Luke and Catherine played some basket ball and I just sat and talked to Luke's mom and played with the dogs. We did get some Easter pictures in though. 
And just one more thing, for those of you who frequented the Mehaffie home during our college years remember that nothing in the house ever changed. EVER! Well, that streak is over. It's changed (or in the process of!)
The wall paper is coming down and the paint is going up. She chose a shade of green! Sorry Sharon for posting your unclean undone kitchen for all the world to see! HeHe!
Thanks to my Wita (my grandma) who taught me how to embroider when I was very young and to my mom who taught me how to use a sewing machine and make pillows! I still remember how! I sure hope I can teach my daughter these things one day. 
The yellow flowers is my bridesmaid bouquet from my best friend Andrea's wedding. They have dried quite nicely. That frame with three openings I got on clearance at Target for $2.50. It's a picture of Luke and I praying at our wedding and our wedding vows are on each side of the picture. Those were all free because we just printed them at home! 
Well, there you have it. I'm also working on sewing together some coverings for some decorative pillows that aren't so decorative in our bedroom. I don't know how long those will take. I hope you're encouraged about decorating on a really really tight budget. 
Isn't he is so cute. Not too cute though, he's still pretty powerful. They still live in the house I grew up in when I lived in Texas. I love my Wito very much. He has this way about him. Anytime he talks to me, on the phone or see him in person, all I can do is cry. And this happens to my sister too, and we can't explain it. We just love him. 
I was so glad he walked me down the aisle for my wedding. It was a great honor for me. I might cry. This is his full height, by the way. And notice, I'm crouched down to him alittle, and you all know how short I am! The only two times I cried my whole wedding day was when he first came in to see me, and when we danced together. I cried like a baby!!! I was always Wito's little helper growing up. He is the reason why I can change a tire, change a spark plug, and change the oil in my car. My sister and I would spend the summers there, after we moved away, and Wito was always fixing a car up. Back then, I HATED helping him, because all I wanted to do was ride my bike. I remember telling my Wita that all I ever did was sit there while he messed around under the car. She would always tell me that it really did help him because if he ever needed anything, I was right there to get it for him, instead of him having to climb out from the car over and over again. AND, I learned my way around a tool box! And every once in a while, he let me climb under the car with him and my Wito is a great teacher. I will never ever forget all the "consejos" that he has shared with me in my life. (Those are meaningful advice-s. Like, "my grandpa always use to say...").
This is a wreath I just made using some of that English Ivy and some fake white roses. 
I like as a year round (except for Christmas) pretty wreath but Luke likes it as a Spring Easter wreath. I'm not very good at Arts and Crafts so this was tough for me. I always have all these great ideas in my head, but for some reason, that's the only place they end up looking nice: in my head!
