Easter

Easter was a great weekend for us. We decorated eggs, listened to General Conference, and went to grandmas. We trimmed her  apple tree, ate dinner, and had an egg hunt. Then the kids all slept upstairs and woke up to a maze of ribbon leading to their Easter gifts.  Then we finished the day with more conference, games, and being together as a family. It was a great weekend sustaining a new president to the church, and learning about all the changes to Home and Visiting teaching. Continue revelation is amazing and I'm grateful for the gospel and my family! 

Buddy Boy Turns 7

It must be good to be 7. At least for this little boy. He had a great birthday. He had a friend over for dinner, presents, and playing. He is really into Bey blades right now, and anything Spiderman. He is a great son and brother. He does things the first time asked, and has a very tender heart. He doesn't like to get into trouble or have people upset with him. He is a good peacemaker and is good at compromising. We love you Buddy Boy! 

March 2018

I forgot when we actually had enough snow to go sledding. I'm pretty sure it was in March but I can't be for sure. We definitely had a mild winter this year with only a few days of snow. But we did go sledding the one time we had enough snow to do so. We took some friends and had a great time! 

This girl loves being the center of attention. She cracks me up. This is her paper mustache. 

Heater time under a bubble sheet. He is loving it! 

MJ and Lil had a volleyball tournament at the end of March. MJ was not happy about the whole thing. They only had two practises before the tournament and she was so nervous. Lil was whatever with it all. We were definitely the worst team there. However, our girls really improved! Each game they played they got better and better. They played a TON of games too. They had three teams but only enough girls for two. So if you were not playing you subbed in other games and they just pulled girls to get a team together. Serving was bad. Our poor girls were not doing well. With some coaching though they were finally able to get some over with underhand. Lil got a few over and scored some points. That was cool for her. MJ went on a roll during one of the games. She just kept serving over and over again. The crowd was cheering and yelling for her. She loved it. She served overhand too! It was a long afternoon and night but it was such a good experience for my girls. 

At the DMV they sell wrenches and screwdrivers in the candy machine. My dad got a huge kick out of that. Smart, but funny. 

Lil had her 5th grade performance. She did awesome on her speaking part. She spoke slow, and clearly. It was great! 

 Our new toy. Pool table, ping-pong table, and you can flip it over for an air hockey table. 3-in-1 baby! We have had fun with it! 

Last, RB hurt himself while playing Pickleball. He was going after a ball, and fell down. He said it felt like a cramp, but it still hurt after a few days. After further research on the Internet he is pretty sure he tore his calf muscle. It took almost a month to heal and he still can't really run on it. It is a good reminder that he is needs to slow down a bit and make sure he is hydrating his body.
