Some Easter and DIY

 My Brad. Cutest guy I know.
Chloe given some Easter egg love.
 Remember this for next year. You put your hardboiled egg right inside the wisk and then you just dip and bob the whisk into your colors. No mess. Pretty sweet. And speaking of sweet...look at Miss Belle
 We represented.
 This guy could've cared less. In fact, he played in the back yard the whole time.
 The Easter photo. We had Stake conference and I took the 3 kids alone. Brad was in the ED. Lame. But he did get to do Easter baskets with us and stick around to take our photo.
Here is us trying to get a cute group shot.
 Here is what our reality is and I love it.
 My friend has the most gorgeous daughter. These 2 are about 7 months different in age. Crazy.
 I love this picture.

 Our dearest friends are moving to Texas for their fellowship year of residency. They will be done with neurosurgery next summer. 12 years!! They are the most AMAZING family and such great friends and I really already miss them. My friend is the nicest person I know and so wise and smart and stylish and pretty.
 An Easter photo with the mamma and her baby.
 Sisters forever.
 Couldn't get enough of this cute dress.
The first DIY-The Headband. I just cut off a cotton shirt sleeve in about a 3 inch piece and then sewed it up. Then I pressed down were i sewed so it kind of made a dimensional headband. Next I just took another piece of shirt and wrapped in around in a circle to make a flower. while you're at the machine just crazy sew all over the rosette. Then add a little leaf with some hand sewing while you attach the rosette to your headband. So cute and it took me about 10 minutes total. My answer to not going to the store and searching for something you can't find or don't have time to look for.
 Second DIY- I am trying to be better making the ideas I gather from Food Network. So here we go. Baked onion rings. Seriously, so good.
Slice a good ole white onion. Rinse in water. Get a bowl of flour. Get a bowl for one beaten egg and about 1/2 cup or so of buttermilk. A bowl for panko bread crumbs seasoned with s and p. Dip in flour. Dip in egg. Dip in Panko. lay on baking sheet with parchment paper. Then you spray everyone with cooking spray. The dude on Food Network actually mixed oil in the panko but I forgot that step and improvised with mine and they tasted delicious and crispy and so healthy. I love me some onion rings and these are guilt free. Try them and tell me what you think.
