My favorite color varies depending on my mood.

It's always a shade of teal.


For some reason, it just makes me feel so happy.

When Grace woke up Easter morning, Isaac and I were still extremely tired. She was sitting in bed and kept pointing up at the top of the closet. When I looked to see what she was pointing at, I saw her Easter basket that I had hidden away. I got it down and let her go to town so Isaac and I could get a few more minutes of sleep. I couldn't resist snapping a few pictures though: After she opened what the Easter Bunny had brought her (an Olivia DVD and backpack, eggs filled with playdough, and an adorable summer outfit), we let her open the eggs and play with playdough for the first time while we ate breakfast. I was very surprised that she didn't even try to eat it once. She loved pulling it apart and throwing little bits here and there: Next, Lisa, Kasie, Grace, and I went to do a little shopping while the boys went back to bed.

...we went to Grandma and Poppa's to visit, and Grace got to ride around in Grandma's wheelchair: ... Femme Fatale  (Britney Spears' new album) finalllllly came out, and I stopped to get it first thing after work. Grace was super stoked: ...Poppa taught Grace how to walk with a walker the second time we went over there to visit this week: ...Grace discovered Ca$h's crate and tried to play inside of it: ...she also played in her jumper while Ca$h looked on. She really loves this thing. Especially because there's a little spot for snacks, so she gets to eat Fruit Puffs every time she plays in it! She's such a spaz: ...Ca$h gave Grace lots of kisses: (check out those curls!!) ...Grace discovered Ca$h's water bowl. It's her new favorite thing. I put her as far away from it as I can ALLLL the way across the living room, and she crawls right back to it. Ca$h now has to go outside to get a drink: ...I got a pretty cool new way to protect our f...

Finally, the recipe you've all been waiting for. We make this dish ALL the time. Anytime it's a special occasion, whenever we are hosting guests, and just for dinner during the week. It's super easy and amazingly delicious. Ingredients: 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts salt pepper 18 oz. fettuccine 1 oz. butter 3 oz. prosciutto, chopped into small pieces 1 garlic clove, minced 16 oz. heavy cream 4 oz parmesan, grated 1/4 tsp white pepper 2 egg yolks 1 french baguette, cut into 1/2" thick slices extra virgin olive oil dried parsley Directions: Boil water to cook the fettuccine per the directions on the box. (I like to add about 1/2 tsp of salt and 2 tsp of olive oil to the water so the pasta doesn't stick together.) Heat your grill for the chicken and season it with salt and pepper. Set aside until grill is ready. Put the pasta into the boiling water and put the chicken on the grill. Cook breasts just enough to put grill marks on t...
