March & April Camera Photos

Because I had so many posts about the Death Valley trip, I got a bit neglectful with uploading all of the camera phone pictures - not that there were a ton, but there are a few that are worth sharing :)  Here we go:

I went to see Oz, The Great and Powerful with some friends on opening weekend. I LOVED it and I loved the little China Girl even more! I went out to Target to see if I could buy her because I thought she was so cute! I brought her home with me :)

This was all of my decor for St. Patty's Day! I'm especially happy with how my wreath turned out!

My Crocus bloomed early, as usual! they were pretty for a week or two :) Now I'm waiting on the Tulips to get going!

I took Dingo for a walk one night and some dumb lady opened her front door and allowed her huge dog to come up to Dingo...Dingo wanted to play but the other dog thought he was fighting so they started fighting. I got a few nice rope burns on my fingers from pulling the leash so hard. This one below wasn't the worst one...it just looked like it was on the day it happened.

Here we are on another day taking a walk! The weather has been so up and down. You think it's starting to warm up for Spring and then it snows or rains again and gets cold. This was literally a few weeks ago and the weather is basically the same on that day as it is now.

Ramin's brother, Babak, came to stay with us for a week at the end of March. Here he is hugging Dingo :)

Ramin's brother was in town on the day of our wedding anniversary. We went downtown to the City Creek center for lunch and spent some time walking around. It was a beautiful day!

This is the same day up at one of my favorite parks. It overlooks the entire Salt Lake Valley. It was weird, my camera had this weird halo effect every time we tried to take a picture up there!

My friend Jenn and I had a girl's night out to dinner and shopping. We brought her little girl Liesel with us. We went to Leatherby's and had ice cream for dessert of course. Liesel loved her rainbow ice cream!

 At work one day my friend/boss, Misty, and I wore the exact same shirt...we shop at the same store all the time!

The crazy dog behind us likes to fight with Belle under the fence whenever he can. On this day he knew Belle was outside because she was barking to try and get his attention. His name is Oozo by the way...anyway, he was inside of course and couldn't get to Belle but he heard her through the bedroom window because it was open slightly. So what does he do? He plows himself right through their window screen so he can stick his head and bark! Crazy dog!

At one of my girl's nights we did a fun project where we made real wood signage! This thing is HUGE! A friend of a friend cuts wood out in her garage and sells it. We painted it and stained it during the project night. It was fun!

This is my cute Spring/Easter wreath. It turned out SUPER cute. It's one of my all-time favorite wreaths that I've done.

I broke the faucet in the downstairs basement one weekend when I needed to clean my fish tank (I have an attachment to the sink)...and so Ramin and I bought ourselves a new faucet for our bathroom upstairs and moved the old downstairs. I'm happy!

At work we moved into a MASSIVE new building two weeks ago. This was what my new desk looked like the day we moved in. I've since changed it a bit to make it better for me...I'll try and take more pictures of my desk as well as the entire building...because it's pretty cool!

Here's another rain/hail storm coming through. The big black cloud was hanging right over our house when I took this picture. We do get some good storms during the Spring!

Last weekend all of us went over to help my Mom and Bob do some Spring cleaning. They had a few mattresses that needed to be thrown away as well as a few couches that were ruined by their dogs, along with loads of other things from the garage. She rented a dumpster and we all helped load everything in there. It was an exhausting day but we were glad to help! This is the dumpster - FULL - at the end of the day.

At our new work building things haven't quite settled yet outside...there is new landscaping but of course it's all new. I made the mistake of walking on some mulch to access a sidewalk and to my surprise my shoe got sucked in like quick sand! That is my shoe covered in mud. I'm not the only one that has had this happen to them...I'm walking in the parking lot from now on so this doesn't happen again! Good thing I had an extra paid of shoes and socks in the car!

One of my plants is now sprouting THREE Lilys....it's so amazing I can't believe it! Once I re-potted it it just exploded with growth!

 Ramin and I bought a 3D puzzle of London. It has multiple layers to put together. Ramin has done most of the work on this...but here is the first layer. He's now finished it and so we'll be starting on the second layer next.

This was last night...Belle has such a routine and likes to go to bed at the same time every night. Of course, he has to cuddle herself under the covers...in MY spot no less!

But....how can I resist that face?!? :P
