I'm trying to be better at cooking and one of my co-workers inspired me last weekend and gave me some yummy recipes! Thanks Kristy! Sooo last Monday night we had pork tenderloin seasoned with brown sugar(sooo yummy) with maple syrup mashed sweet potatoes. It turned out so good! Except... it was a 15 min prep time and a 15 min cook time, that ended up taking me 1 1/2 hours! hahaha, at least it was still hot when Brad got home. He was super surprised A) that I cooked and B) that it was a new recipe. Then the next night I had awesome intentions, but ended up super tired when it came time to cook dinner, so we ended up with pancakes. BUT i did use a different recipe and they were WAY more yummy than my normal pancakes. AND I found out that Brad can't cook pancakes, so he was happy to have some yummy ones. Yay for me lol!  My last cooking of the week was homemade banana pudding. I learned how to double broil(thanks dad). The pic I took was taken the next day, so it's not as pretty looking as it was right after I made it. Still tasted good though, so I'm three for three.
     Easter weekend was fun. I've worked the last 2 weekends and the last two Easter's, so having this weekend off was awesome. We went to the ward Easter egg hunt and dinner Saturday night, both sets of Raelee's grandparents were able to come watch her hunt eggs, so that was awesome. Brad's parents were able to stay for the dinner too, it was good to be able to spend that time with them. Raelee did awesome finding the eggs, she totally got what she was supposed to be doing. She found five eggs, and she thought it was soo cool when she figured out she could open the eggs.
    


We gave Rae her basket this morning before church, maybe not such a good idea. She only had two bites of chocolate, but she was CRAZY at church. Brad surprised both of us, he did Easter shopping on his own one day last week and last night after I put the basket together, he added his surprises for Raelee and me. He bought Raelee Bambie and me a Reester Bunny! mmmm yummy! When we got home from church Raelee was playing with her basket and we went upstaires to change. Raelee babbles all the time now, so as long as I can hear her I don't get worried. Well she got quiet, too quiet. I called her name and she wasn't answering, so I went downstairs and found that she had ripped open the wrapper to a kit-kat bar with her teeth and was eating the chocolate. When she saw me, she said "mmmmmm". Too funny! Then she was so hyper she wouldn't take a nap.
We went to my parents for dinner tonight. Lindley and I had fun dying eggs. Raelee even did one. Then the boys hid the eggs and us girls hunted for them. Man those things were really hidden. Lindley won, she found 35 eggs, I found 32, and Rae found 4. BUT Lindley's basket ended up being infested with ants, so maybe I did win lol.
