 As the weather gets warmer, we take advantage of going on walks.  We love to walk to the temple and back.  We are fortunate enough to oversee the city and take in beautiful sunsets.  Of course the kids like to venture on the things they see on the way.  Here is Teagan conquering a cement tube.

 



I love my husband.  He is so thoughtful.  Here are some beautiful flowers he got me to display on my desk at work.  It is not uncommon for Tim to visit me at work and deliver flowers or chocolates.  He takes really good care of me.  My boss always says, “there is the flower guy trying to make us look bad.”  I disagree, Tim is well trained and treats women right.


 Fozzie is the dog that the family loves.  He is so fun.  As I exercise in the basement gym, he gnaws on his rope toy.  It cracks me up to see his hind legs position flat on the floor so I had to take a picture.


  I got to take a day off.  So what do I do?  I go to Crumbl cookie and get the kids some cookies and deliver them to their school.  I wanted to know that mom and dad love them and think about them all the time.  I also wanted to give them a sweet surprise while they are working hard.


  April 2nd, Jacob Fisher (nephew) married Jaden Davis in the Idaho Falls temple.  It was so wonderful.  I love the example they set for my kids.  I was also fantastic to go inside the temple.  It has been over a year.  The temples only do live endowments due to COVID.  I am so excited for them to open full time.  I don’t know when that will be but I am anticipating the opening.  The temple is something I need in my life.  It is a safe and good place.




Easter was fun.  I try not to go overboard with the holidays.  Sometimes it is hard because I want to make up for what I did not have.  However, I think I did good this year.  I am very pleased that I was able to give them a stuffed animal in each of their baskets that I bought on clearance last year.  I am surprised I lasted that long (yeah me!).

We got to listen to conference at the beginning of April.  Truly a great blessing.  Some messages that stood out: “Remove the debris from your life.”  “Have the kids sweat on the family learning field rather than bleed on the battlefield of life.”  Those are two messages that definitely pertain to me.  I also want to go back and re-listen to the talk from Elder Dale G. Renlud titled, “Infuriating Unfairness.”  I think I still have something to learn from that talk.

Xadia made her first blanket.  It is called a rag quilt.  We worked as a team to get it done and it turned out so cute.  She loves it of course because it is in her favorite color….pink.


Jacinda got asked to the prom yesterday.  Super cute ask, she had to pop grape colored balloons to find out who it was.  We all thought it was Liam and sure enough it was.  We are all very excited for her.  She is going to have a great time.
