love going to gardens

I love planting gardens I love going to gardens --had a chance to go to red Butte garden this spring
had a chance to work with dad and Mayley and Hunter planting peas and digging up our garden dirt.

Easter

Easter came early this year (way way ) back at the end of March.
I was glad we could have our dinner in the first part of April and reflect on Easter with our family around for a short devotional of a song.  Give said the little stream.  A  testimony from dad and I that Yes --There is a Father in Heaven.  We do have a Savior Jesus Christ.  He did give his life for us.  But the atonement brings joy now in this life.  He  wants us to be happy and one day we will all resurrect and be in a perfect body.  Dad also shared how important family is and how much he loves his Savior Jesus Christ and what he did for each of us.  He bore testimony that Jesus Loves us all.

womens conference

enjoyed the time I spent on BYU-Provo campus while attending women's conference.  it was such a wonderful time--thinking of when I attended there and thinking about the things I learned these last few visits there as I've attended classes for the church sponsored womens conference.  Brianne went with me.  enjoyed that shared time and also enjoy the talks.  Most favorite  Elder Eyring. 

Soccer

It is always a treat to sit and watch the grandkids play soccer.  One of Bryan's and mine most favorite pastime.  talking on the phone with grandkids is another and walking along with the grandkids hearing them say funny things is another.  we started a jar with papers containing cute things the grandkids say either on the phone or to us or to their family.  any contributions.?

Spring is in the air...how I know...

I know spring is in the air when:
*we set up our trampoline
*dad help me turn over the first soil today and mayley and hunter planted peas
* we go outside to play and for walks without jackets
* I just feel better--and more "sunny" inside
* I start thinking when I can book Payson Lakes
* I look at my little flowers popping their heads through the soil
* dad takes a quick bike ride on his lunch break
* I can feel it in the air......
WELCOME SPRING--(its been quite a winter, but I still loved winter in spite of that)

enjoyed our family dinner

Everyone pulled away in there cars now--but I just felt happy that we could get together for our Sunday dinner.  Besides being able to take the sacrament --no wonder Sunday is my favorite day of the week.  Thanks for the visit and your good company and for the food you brought--I loved it!!!
thanks for giving dad and I something to look forward to-  we get lonesome here just hanging around.
  okay maybe we're on the go sometimes --but we still love the chaos and the noise and the little children doing skits and the adults visiting and we love you all for taking time to miss your nap and come.  smiley face
