New Niece!!!

My little sister Carrie had a baby early Monday morning April 20 just two days before her three year wedding anniversary. The baby's name is Shayla Kay Johansen and she was just under 7 lbs. She is tiny and as Carrie says "perfect" and so cute!

Easter

I think I went a little overboard on buying Easter candy this year. I filled two entire baskets full of chocolate eggs. Cadbury, Reeses, Snickers, caramel.... and soooo many more! I love easter!!! I don't know what it is about making candy in the shape of an egg that makes it so much yummier.

We went to John's Grandma's house for Easter dinner. We celebrated her 91st birthday with all 91 candles on the cake. I have seen cakes with more candles than that before but they were spread out and it wasn't too bad. I think the candles on this cake were a little too close to each other though because the flames all merged together it really looked like the cake was on fire. I wish I had gotten a picture but my camera batteries died.

Pinewood Derby

Last week was the much anticipated Pinewood Derby. John and I helped a few of the boys from the pack with their cars last Monday. Then Wendesday was the big day! The boys seemed to have a lot of fun. Some were a little disappointed in their cars but everyone got an award at the end which seemed to make everything better. John and I raced our cars against each other and his won. I will just have to work harder next year to beat him. Although mine definitely won in the looks category!
