Lot's of Fun!

The last couple of weeks have been so busy. We have been able to do some fun things. Last week Hunter and I went to the park with Carolee and Danika. The kids had fun watching us throw bread at the ducks, seagulls and geese. Carolee and I mostly feared for our lives as we were swarmed by geese who had no inhibitions about getting too close to us... those geese have something evil about them, you can see it in their eyes. The kids also had fun in the park swinging and sneaking wood chips into their mouths for a taste test. I enjoyed some much needed girl talk. Thank goodness for good friends.





Last Saturday Craig took Hunter for the day so I could get caught up on some housework. They drove up to Oakley, Idaho to visit his sister. We love Oakley and the family we have there. Hunter had a good time picking dandylions and hanging out with Aunt Stacie and the cousins.




Wednesday we went up to Midway to put flowers on my grandpa's grave. I can't believe he's been gone for 4 years now. We always bring red flowers because that was his favorite color. While we were there we introduced Hunter to some horses. Hunter wasn't too sure about what he thought of those horses.

Craig and I teach the CTR 8 class in primary. Every week I am amazed by some of the wacky things kids will say. So here are a few of our favorites.

Child giving closing prayer: "Dear Heavenly Father, please bless us that when we go to visit and eat dinner that nobody gets in a fight with grandma."
. . .
Primary teacher: "When Jesus asked John the Baptist to baptize him, what did John the Baptist say?"
Primary Boy: "All hail Jesus!! Get in the water!!"
Primary teacher: "Not quite."
. . .
Primary Teacher: "Today I have paper and crayons for you to draw a picture of someone using the priesthood."
Primary Boy: "Can I make a priesthood teepee?"

Pay It Forward

I was one of the lucky winners from Carolee's blog, so now it is my turn to pay it forward! If you would like to play, just leave a comment on my blog and I will put your name in a hat for a drawing. On Tuesday May 27 I will draw 3 names and if I draw your name you win a prize!!! The only catch is you have to pay it forward.

Thanksgiving Point

For my birthday we went to the gardens at Thanksgiving Point. They were so beautiful! We had a great time being outside in some much needed warm spring weather. Hunter especially enjoyed the waterfalls. After the gardens, my parents watched Hunter so Craig and I could enjoy a night out to dinner and a movie. I can't remember the last time I sat in a theater. Thanks mom and dad! It was a wonderful day!

Tub Time!!

Aw...the dreaded tub photos. A parent must. I can't wait to show these to some cute girl in 16 years and watch Hunter's face turn bright red. That's what mom's are for!

Hunter loves the tub!

Splish, splash!
Rub-a-dub-dub!
Getting dry!


Lookin' for something to wear.
