I am enjoying practicing my flute along with Patty in our ward --we'll accompy the primary in a song on Easter I know that my Savior loves me.  Its reminded me again how much fun it is to play songs  on the flute --knowing how the nerves get the best of me--I know I am humbled to do this--but I know with practice and relying on the Lord's help I can do this even if it is outside my comfort zone.  Patty is very talented and makes us sound great.  I like getting to know her better and also getting to know Julie Fonger better --who accompanist on the piano--there is always a blessing almost immediately when we are able to serve in the church. 

if you make it they will come

sometimes I make food and hope some one will just drop by to eat it and some times it really works--kinda fun

St Patrick's day

fun hearing about some of you cooking breakfast with green--and wearing green and doing fun St patrick's day stuff.  dad and I are still kids at heart and dad wore his green (wedding tie-from last April) to Stake Conference Meetings today--I will wear green too.  Good "Luck" everyone with all the good things going on in your lives.  I feel that we have had much good luck--meaning many many blessings--I was glad Hayley's blog got me to thinking of the many things I consider 'good' in my life too.

spring is in the air--I surely like these warmer days--went out running last night for a short while (the rec center closed earlier than I remembered) but it was such a warm night and I am so thankful we've almost made it through another winter.  Looking forward to all that spring and summer will bring--seeing the little flowers in my flower bed makes me smile.
also another favorite thing of spring is going to hires big H where they sell old fashion hamburgars and litza pizza
I think we might have to make spring hike and Hires an annual tradition

Stake conference started with a session with all stake members--who were able to make it--to the Temple 3:00 pm session.  Before the session though we met  with  and recieved council from our stake President Stephen Hunter and The temple Pres and his wife. 
It was very heart felt all of them.  It set the tone for a wonderful session and a dinner that followed.  Because Elder Ellis is the visiting authority, Bryan and the other Members of the stake Pres met with him Sat morning.  They were able to get to know him better and he was able to get to know them better.  One thing that is different than other stake conferences in the past 7 years is that Elder Ellis (who presides) will tell them at the start of each meeting who will be speaking and for how long.  I know each of the Speakers will be wonderful and share testimony.  It will be interesting to see how it all unfolds..  Bryan and I along with other members of the Stake Pres will be able to enjoy  a dinner provided between one of the leadership meetings and the adult sessions,  Elder Ellis will eat with us and I am looking forward to being around him.

happy day--its pie day today Mar 14  I love pies--love to make them love to eat them--so hum  what kind now is the question--I'd better get to it.  I think I have an apple pie filling already in the freezer.  Happy pie day

Happy Birthday Mayley
when I was one I had just begun
when I was two I was barely new
when I was three I was hardly me
when I was four I was not much more
when I was five I was barely alive
but now that I'm six I'm as clever as clever, I think I'll stay six forever and ever...MM Milne
I've loved that poem since I was little--I loved being six  I still remember it clearly.  we are so glad that you are having another birthday and you are such a sweet little lady.  you like fingernails painted and  pretty hair. You are doing so good in school and you make friends easily.  You are so good to look after your brothers.  You have the cutest giggle  and find humor in silly things.  You like to try new foods that we offer you.  You like girlie things but can kick a soccer ball with the best of your soccer team and hit the crochet ball --straight for your dad's when we play 'poison'   we are so happy for the times we share together and for the sunshine you bring into our lives.  Happy Birthday
