catching up!

Blogger slacker is what I am . Actually busy lady is what I have been. A lot has been going on since my last post, so here's a quick catch up!

Easter Sunday was a lot of fun. We woke up to Tukar telling us that the Easter Bunny came and give him presents! So we got up and The kids found their eggs. They were a little more challenging than the eggs they found the day before at the Easter egg hunt. Then we got ready to go to Grandma's house for our family dinner. As always, it was delicious and I got my rolls. That is what's the most important.
The next week was Spring break. There wasn't much spring to it since we ended up with about 6" of snow and a lot of rain. We did a lot of what you would call...SPRING CLEANING. I know- what a mean mom to make your kids clean on spring break. Well they kids did get to enjoy themselves a little. They got to have a sleep over with their friends then the next day, we went to the BYU MOA and went to this fun exhibit from Walter Wick (He is the guy that does the I SPY and Can you see me? books) It was a lot of fun and it was FREE!!!! Yes I said FREE!!! If you get a chance, take your kids to this. Even Tukar had a blast. They have giant I SPY pictures and the models and you have stuff that you have to find. Also--stop by the Trash exhibit next door-- what people think of to make Art out of.
Something I learned to do over spring break was sew. I had this idea to MAKE all of my Bunco prizes. So I went and picked out fabric, got some patterns from my mom, and enlisted her help to make these fun and flirty Aprons! After breaking 2 sewing machines, We finally got them all done. I was pretty proud of myself. Now I keep thinking of all the fun stuff I can make now-- I will just have to use Sydnie's sewing machine. So here is a pic of all of us at Bunco with our aprons on. I also want to say THANKS to ll my Bunco girls! I love playing with all of you and you make the night so much fun!! Can't wait to see ya'll next time!
On the more humble side, during the same week, I received some horrible news that one of my longest friends, who I have not seen in some time after a falling out, lost her husband. He had been suffering with an infection that he caught in Iraq serving in the military. I wanted so much to be able to comfort her, so after a lot of thinking and praying, my mom and I attended his funeral. I am rally glad that we went so we could let her know how much we love her even after all the time had gone by. It really made me stop and think of everything that is important in life and how precious life is. He left behind a wonderful wife and mother and 2 beautiful children ages 4 and 7. You could tell how good they have been raised because they were so strong. My mom said it is because they are still close to heaven and they have the comfort from our Father in Heaven to know that everything will be okay. There was a lot of kind words spoken about him from his friends and family. He will be deeply missed by so many.

So that brings us up to speed on my life. Thanks for checking out our blog! Don't be too busy to stop and leave a message.
