Spring Break Fun, Part 1

These are out of order...and it takes too long to fix them.  So I'll explain the pictures as I go!

Day 2 of Spring Break!

We went to Chuck-E-Cheese's (the kids refer to it as Charles Edward Cheese's...ha ha).







After Chuck-E-Cheese's we went and ate frozen yogurt at Sweet Frog.  It's our favorite place!







The weather was so nice after church on Sunday!  I took the boys on a walk at the Desert Preserve.  The girls didn't feel like tagging along.  It was actually very warm.  70 Degrees!

Brothers!  Sons!




Well, since we are staying here forever...I think it's about time for me to fully accept the beauty of the desert!  I really love the Joshua Trees.  Very beautiful!


St. Patrick's Day was on Sunday.  We have fun with the holiday!  The Leprechaun turned the milk green and left the kids Lucky Charms for breakfast in the morning.  And then we had an all-green dinner!  Green decorations, noodles with green pesto sauce, green bread sticks, broccoli, cucumbers, green jello, and a special St. Patrick's Day cake. 



We have had this cake for the past 3 years.  We forget how gross it is.  Next year, we decided on Mint Chocolate chip ice cream and Mint Chocolate Brownies instead!


Lizzie wrote this story in about 30 minutes and then quickly illustrated it after printing it out.  She's got some major talent!  Such a cute story!

2021 Summary

 2021...What a year! Some Highlights: I read the Book of Mormon 4 times this year (one time I finished in 29 days!) We studied the Doctrine and Covenants for Come follow Me! Lizzie Started Highschool (and seminary)! William started Kindergarten! I got depressed being home without the kids...so I got my first job in 14 years! I was called to be the ward Young Women President in January. Jon is still serving in the Bishopric, this year as the 2nd Counselor. Bryce was ordained to the office of a Deacon and serves as the Deacon Quorum President. Jon broke his foot in March and had to have surgery. Our fruit trees produced no fruit this year, which was sad. Lizzie was extremely sick for about 2 months.  She had ovarian cysts, major constipation, and valley fever! We had the opportunity to listen to two General Conferences, which are my favorite holiday's. We went to Last Vegas after Christmas 2020, we went to Utah for Kynzlee's baptism, we went to Utah for the 4th of July holiday, ...

Feeling Awful

 I feel awful about something that I did today.  Well, something that I DIDN'T do.  I feel like the worst person in the world.  I feel like horrible.  I was prompted to do something and I ignored the prompting.  It's eating me up. It's short, so I'll explain it here. I went to Relief Society today.  The first time in about three years.  I sat with Jon's Mom.  I noticed a girl sitting in front of me who was sitting alone.  I chatted with her.  I had the thought to sit next to her so she wouldn't have to sit alone, but I didn't feel like I could leave Sandy.  I didn't want to make Sandy feel bad by leaving her so I ignored the prompting.  Then I went and accompanied a song on the piano.  While I was playing I had the thought, again, that I needed to sit next to this girl.  I decided that I would sit next to her on my way back instead of sitting next to Sandy.  However, as I walked back, someone else was sittin...

The Last of the Spring Break, 2019 Posts

It's been a long 2 weeks!  It's been so wonderful though and I am really not ready for the kids to go back to school tomorrow.  I love having them home and I love having our freedom and no real responsibilities.  Summer couldn't come soon enough! We found out this week that Grandpa Duncan had a stroke.  We were all so sad.  We all fasted for him and have been praying every day for his recovery.  Even 7-year-old Mason, who has never fasted before, wanted to fast for Grandpa.  He dd so well and I was so proud of him!  We can hardly wait until June when we can visit Nana and Grandpa in person. I didn't realize it, but one of the days this week I did Walmart Pick-up (where I order things on-line and then the worker brings the groceries out to my car) and accidentally ordered A TON of these chocolate eggs!  They truly are the best chocolate egg in the world, so I'm not really complaining...but what in the world are we going to do with the...
