Its Spring!!! we got the garden in.... (mostly)

April 29th,
Hello family can you believe tomorrow is the last day for April...wow!!
Yeah that finals are over for Brad and Hayley -Stephen hang in there May is coming--
The tulips in our flower beds were nice this year

I have been working in a Nursery in Riverton the last two days (Fri and Sat) and learning all about flowers and bulbs and plants *as I moved them around and watered them and worked with people who know. (this was a temporary job my most fun yet) anyhow it made me want to buy more flowers and especially bulbs...as they do come back on their own. Dad's been working like crazy in our own yard So glad we were able to get out into the beautiful sunshine I am pretty sunburned in spite of my hat and sunscreen since I was out 8 hours each day..and it was hot but mostly it just zapped my energy. And Dad got tan. today we are going to get some time to call of of you as we do on Sundays. So I'll probably tell you everything I wrote here on the blog. then Tues I have homemaking. and Dad has temple intervies.

Then wed I have YW dad gets to stay home

Thurs finally we get to work in our yard. So far our corn peas strawberries lettuce radishes and rhubarb are in and before we leave for Iowa (May 10th-17th) we will plant the rest. before we go. .The Raspberries are looking good --yipee Fresh raspberries by June..talk to ya soon

glad we're family-

latest and greatest...

hayley had a great 20th birthday--this is she and her roommates after hayley fixed up ragina's hair all curly. Like brad she has a full schedul for spring and had on of her mid terms last weeks. she felt good about it. she is going to move to a new apt new fall. she is happy -still social but had to cut back on social due to English and History classes. Her plane gets home on June 22--will be fun to have her home for a short time

we went to stephen and nancy's home last week (may 9-17) we had so much fun welcoming the new baby home --we had fun flying kites and enjoying the fun FHE and going to the park and

just being around the house enjoing the sweet spirit the baby brings to a home. What a great time we had, just being there and being a part of there day to day activities. Nancy and I even caught a yard sale, we had to laugh we made our couple of dollars stretch far..with a name game or two and a dress up hat for the dress up box. Megan Elise had just got home from the hospital one hour before our arrival so it was fun to share in the homecoming....

Stephen had a hairy test by computer that he had to diagnose a patient and get them to the hospital--. crazy stuff like that. he and dad played basketball with their ward while we were there.... so glad that he had worked out to do rotations here in a few wks.

Brianne and Bryan and dad and I went out for an evening to celebrat Briannes' birthday then came back to the house for the yummy desert that Brianne got at Chillis' plus some pie. as you read on their blog Mayley is growing up and was right in the middle of all the celebration. she quite likes that little red car that the kid play with from under the deck she love to throw the ball and grandma catches it...(over and over)_I love it.

Brad and Kerri made a nice birthday dinner for Hayley and bought her a pie and made the day fun for her. Brad works as a farmer now...we want to hear more about that. It was midterms for the semester. wow spring goes fast he says its busy but it the work time of the semester is shorter and it will end by the end of June..then he gets a break till Aug so then he will be out of school when the baby comes. Kerri's mom and sister will come over this summer and spend time helping with the baby. Kerri sewed some cute things for the baby as she brought her machine from Arizona.

fun times with friends --way to go with work and school and completing another semester -with flying colors
