Bathroom Mats

A couple of weeks ago, I went to clean the bathroom and discovered that the floor mats were stuck to the floor. I tugged to pull them up and I heard tearing noises. Not wanting to deal with it, I just cleaned around the mats and called it good. Today I decided since the mats were filthy and they were going to be toast once I ripped them up from the linoleum, I went to Target and got some cheep "step out mats", that have no rubber backing on them and went to work on getting the mats off the floor. This one is the mat that wrapped around the toilet...

And here is the other mat by the vanity that I ripped up. I used a butter knife to scrap the remains off the floor. Took about 20 minutes...I decided to have a little fun in my chore :)
I'm not sure how this happened. Alyssa and I decided that it was either from when she cleaned the bathroom before and put the mats back on the floor when it was wet. Or it was when I last washed and dried the mats and put them back on the floor when it was still a little warm from the dryer. In any case, they are now in the trash and these are the pretty red mats I purchased.

In other news, last week was RAH's annual Lagoon day. It was pleasant day with sun but not too hot. Alyssa came along with me and rode many of the rides that I wouldn't. Thanks Alyssa! Here is a group of the participants with Alyssa sitting in the 2nd seat.
She actually wouldn't ride this roller coaster because she doesn't love the loop dee loops it had. And though you can barely see them, the participants are sitting in rows 1, 2, and 5.

And here's us right at the start of Rattlesnake Rapids. The water ride in a tube type thing where water splashes around while you move down a river current. You know what I'm talkin about right? The one where you come off soaking wet and freezing cold.

Sunshiny Days!

A rundown of the last few weeks. Finally, it stopped snowing here (hope I didn't just jinx myself). And lovely flowers popped out in the sun at work.

The roommates at a BYU baseball game. Though not officially a roommate, Matt is like our 4th. He belongs to Karen.

Our RAH choir performed at a retirement community.

We visited the Thanksgiving Point animal farm a couple of weeks ago where we fed goats, chickens, horses, and saw a bunch of other animals too.

We took a tour at the Krishna temple this last Saturday. They let us handle the llamas. One of them stepped on part of my foot but it didn't hurt so that was good.

This is the same place where this happened a couple of months before to welcome in spring.... Holi Fest or Festival of Colors.

A few days ago, I did a very simple cake decorating class. I let them choose from 3 patterns: a sailboat, a flower, and a bear.

The cakes turned out pretty good and very creative. This picture is especially for Jason and Heather. It's haupia pie! I made it from scratch and it turned out fantastically! Of course, I never got to try Ted's so I'm not sure how close it is in taste but it was sure delicious. Let me know if you want the recipe!
