12 on the 12th--April 2011

I missed being able to post this month's 12 on the 12th collage last week because I can't access the program I need to make the collage (#$@!) because our computer is still in a coma. But Michelle kindly took pity on me and made this collage for me with the pictures I took of my day. (She also did my collage for March's 12 on the 12th but I backdated it. Here's the link if you're interested.)

01. The first thing I did that morning was to text Michelle to remind her that it was the 12th.
02. Family scripture reading (we got behind when the kids were sick and are still trying to catch up).
03. Whitney holding Trickxy (Whitney's spelling) and beaming with her morning-face.
04. I wrote a blog post about our Deluxe Book Club gathering.
05. I picked up Cafe Rio lunch for Amie and I.
06. I spent the day sitting across from Amie. I wrote 6 cards and talked a whole lot and she managed to file some coupons and put some lettering on a couple scrapbook pages.
07. Our self-portrait.
08. Our kids together, they've all gotten so huge!
09. We saw a beautiful rainbow (the whole thing) in her backyard.
10. We stopped by my parents' house for a visit and hung out while my dad ate his nightly salad (my mom had to leave to go to Relief Society).
11. Amie gave us 18 eggs from their chickens...I love the green egg!
12. We came home at 7:00 and found Randy making Mongolian Beef for dinner.

Comment Window Tidbit: We had a gloriously rainy day today that ended with blue skies and sunshine...ah spring!

You know when you drive by people's homes and they have their curtains open and you catch a glimpse of their life inside? That's what I feel like when I see your twelve on twelve. It's fun to see what goes on inside your window.

I noticed you missed the 12th but am gad you caught up. I'm with Neighbor, it's neat to get a peek into your day.

It looks like it was a really great day. Those eggs look so cool.

I am over a month behind on cutting coupons. It's ridiculous really.

Thank you for texting me! I've never thought to take a picture of a text, good idea.

I was totally struck by how grown-up all the kids look in that photo. Especially Jessica!

The green egg is so beautiful.

The best part of that day was finding Randy making dinner. I wish I came home to dinner more often, but that seems ungrateful since Kelly works all day and I don't. Still- such a treat.

Happy 12th!

The rainbow, and especially the eggs are so beautiful!

Those eggs are beautiful! It almost seems a shame to eat them.
