Easter 2014

 Easter Weekend was beautiful weather and we had a great time spending the day with pat and steve at their home. I'll let the pictures do the talking of all we did in one day!

 Easter Sunday picture... all in our Sunday best!

We are all so thankful for our Savior. 

For His life and His sacrifice for each of us, that we can repent of our sins, and better ourselves to live again with Him as an Eternal Family.

 I was starting to believe that there was no such thing as a bed fairy... 

but alas... 

they finally did visit and made my bed beautifully!

(I hope they come again)

Spring is here!

We are so excited that spring is here... We love our "popcorn" tree in the back and are loving the smell of our lilacs .

Tennis is in full swing and Kara has really improved this year. She loves playing the sport and loves that she play with her friend Jenessa.

 We love family fun time..

We had a fun afternoon playing at the park and catching Rio 2 at the movies... oh and of course ate way too much popcorn...

An aunt on my dad's side, passed away suddenly. It worked out that Drew and I could take off and go down for the funeral (thanks to Pat and Steve)... 

It was good to see so much family that I hadn't seen in years. 

We left on Tue afternoon (5:30pm), made it to Ogden by 10.. and we went right to bed... Then we were up and met family and to the funeral by 9:30am... After the funeral we had lunch with my brothers and sister and mom, then hit the road for home.. We made it home by 6:30 so I could get to YW...   So we called it a 25 hour date.

Young Women's is my new calling. I get to be over the Beehives (12-13 year old girls)

Kara is really excited to have me in there with her, and Aub is excited to join us in Dec. I am so glad my girls get to be a part of such a great program that will help them learn and grow about themselves and develop strong testimonies of the Gospel.

Random happenings

Okay- So this post is a little out of order.. I had uploaded the pictures and thought I would come back and write about it, and here we are 2 months later... But my plan is to maybe put this blog into a book and these are things that would add to that...

SO.

In a nut shell..

Here are my beautiful flowers for V-day...

Kara and Shae going to do baptisms for the dead.

The ice is off the pool, so we checked on it.

Chocolate cake for Grandpa's birthday.

Aub and Brae are super smart and great at school!

Brae had a cute 2nd grade program and speaking part.

Aubree finished her PACE project and dressed up like Abigail Adams for a wax museum.
