Our life has been a whirlwind this last month. It has been an adventure to say the least! My family has been so blessed and I am grateful each day to see the Lord's tender mercies in our lives. Sometimes I wonder how I got so lucky, I mean why me? I love my sweetie, I have a great family, I absolutely love my calling, I am surrounded by people who lift me up. I am one lucky girl! Here is a quick run down of what has been going on this last month.
1. We moved
2. Mckell had her first dance competition
3. We had a fantastic Easter
4. Spring break, yay!!

Let's start with the move... Tons of work, ahhh TONS of work. Moving is hard enough by itself but moving while teaching 15 classes a week was quite the task. We LOVE our new place. There are kids everywhere! Whenever the kids are bored they just go outside and are surrounded by friends. Brigham is one lucky guy since his best friend Trey lives right next door. The two of them run back and forth between houses all day. Mckell is even a little closer to her cute little friends.
Good bye old house!

Mckell's dance competition was a proud mom moment for me. She loved it and did great! Her team took 1st in one dance and 2nd in another. They did really good for their first time.



Waiting for awards!

Easter is one of my favorite holidays. What a wonderful time to think about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. On Easter, my cute sister in law blessed her new twin babies so we got to spend the evening with our family. It was a special occasion since we had Cali and Hudson there from Ohio.

Getting ready to color Easter eggs




After decorating eggs and having treats, we had some Easter races, followed by snuggling on the coach and a movie.



The next day we went over to Grandmas for dinner and an Easter egg hunt. As always, we love being there with all the cousins!




All the grand kids!


I have to admit I have been looking forward to spring break for a LONG time. A whole week with out work, wahoo! We had a great time. I got to tuck my kids in bed every night which for me was the best part. I got to tackle a few projects that were placed on hold, we went to the Aviary, we played water games, went to the park, and trafalga. It was so nice to have the week off and spend tons of time with my cute kiddos.



We hit up good old Trafalga with our friends the Spanglers!


On the way home from Trafalga, the kids were being noisy in the car and if there is one thing I hate it's noise in the car. I told they'd have to get out and walk home if they couldn't stop yelling. Sure enough, the kids got some great exercise! They thought it was pretty funny, not sure how effective it was.


Earlier last month Jeremy took me on a wonderful surprise date. We went shopping up at Fashion Place, then he took me to the Joseph Smith restoration movie, and then we had dinner at the Roof where he had some beautiful flowers waiting for me. It was so romantic! Love you sweetie!!


Earlier earlier, ok like in February, I took Mckell on a date to see a Utah gymnastics meet. We loved it and the Red Rocks were AMAZING!! Mckell got more excited though every time the music came on so she could dance, her favorite "trick" was when they did a battement (kick) on the beam. Guess my little lady will be sticking with dance!
