Happy Easter!

We had such a fun day today. Jaxson and Hanna planned a Easter surprise for one of our neighbors. They were fighting the other day and just would not stop. So I decided that they needed a "project" that they could do together. They had to plan something for someone else that had to do with Easter. They decided to be the "Easter Bunny" for our friend's kids in the neighborhood. They did such a good job. They made a list of what they wanted, planned a time to go to the store, filled eggs with candy and planned to get up early this morning and put it out on their lawn. I was quite impressed with how well they were able to work together.


When we got home from church, this sign was on our door and eggs were scattered all over our yard. It made the kids day.







Of course I

took a "few" pictures:












Then we were off to Kate and Scott's house for dinner. Scott is a pretty good cook. We are so grateful to have them close. I don't know what we would do without them.
We came home early so Tim could catch his flight. I hate it when it is time for him to leave.

I am going to New York on Tuesday. Some ladies in my ward invited me to go. I am a little nervous. My sister still has not forgiven me for my behavior on our last trip to Wendover. I am not normally one to vacation with people I hardly know. But...I am soooooo looking forward to a few days away. We are going to see "Wicked". I saw it in Chicago, and can't wait to see it again!!!!!

Easter Party

As usual, this years Easter party was a hit. There were kids everywhere! We filled and hid over 3,000 eggs. The kids were in heaven. The slide was my favorite. Sam and Emmie "needed" some one to help them. I was more than willing.

The food was great. Thanks everyone who worked so hard to pull it off. (Especially Michel!)

Happy Birthday Mindy!

This is my friend Mindy. Today is her birthday and she is so old. (Can't you tell by looking at her?) We celebrated with a birthday lunch at the Olive Garden. It was so nice to hang out with everyone. Mindy and I grew up together in California and have known each other for years. The stories I could tell.........Just joking. She is a great friend and neighbor. I am so glad that we have kept in touch. Mindy is one of the most loyal and giving people I know.

Tim and I took Emmie and her little cousins to see "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" today. It wasn't my favorite but the kids loved it. Especially Sam. When it was over he said, "Me love that movie Auntie." I love that guy.

Tim left for San Francisco today. Luckily he is just there overnight. We miss him already! I don't think I was ready for him to have to leave! At least he will be home for my friends annual Easter Party. I have had to go solo the last few years! The kids are so excited. I call first one down the big blow up slide!

Basketball Champs!!!

Tonight all the boys on Jaxson's basketball team and their families came over for pizza, pop, and ice cream. The season ended a few weeks ago but their coach, a.k.a. Tim, was missing in action. They have a great little team. They won the Open Court Championship for their division. I would like to add, that I coached two games and we won both of them. Good job guys!!!! Our next season starts pretty soon. This time Tim and another dad are going to do it together. (Yeah right!!!)

Today I worked at the school. Ryanne is so cute she always "has to use the restroom" when I am there. (The restroom is right across the hall from where I do the take home readers.) I love it! Her teacher came and asked if I had noticed this little habit. It is a cute habit and I will take whatever I can get.

Shannon-are you still running? I ran with my neighbor again today. You would be so proud!!!!I also finally got that dang DVD done. No thanks to you!

I also visited with my sister for a while. She only has 9 more weeks of bedrest left. That is cake. Her little boy, Sam, came and said, "Auntie, I go with you,"when I was ready to go. Well, I NEVER say no to the boy, so he spent the afternoon with Emmie and I. I want to publicly thank my brother in law, Scott, for reminding him to bring his whistle. Oh yeah, and reminding him that Auntie loves to hear whistles. Thanks Scott. Oh and by the way, I don't get mad, I get EVEN!!!

Another Fun Weekend!

The girls had a dance competition in Spanish Fork. They all did great. Here are some pics...

This is Emmie and our friend Linsey.












Emmie and Ryanne

This is my friend Marnae. Her daughter dances with Morgan. This is how we all felt at about 5:00pm.


Today is Sunday. I loved Conference. Especially the talk on "forgiveness." All of the talks were so good. I think President Hinckley is so cute. I love hearing him talk. We had a fun day hanging out and snacking while we watched.
