Blue & Gold Dinner
 |
| We had fun at a "Knights of the Round Table" Blue & Gold Dinner for Zachary's Cub Scouts |
 |
| This is Zachary earning his Bobcat award |
 |
| Here's a cake I made for part of the refreshments |
 |
| Joshua and Eddie went skiing at Alta on a Friday and went on some scary runs |
 |
| Here they are afterwards by Grandpa's rented Mustang (nice free upgrade) |
Zachary's Baptism
 |
| Zachary looks great in his new suit from Grandma |
 |
| Before the baptism service we snapped a few photos |
 |
| We had a nice brunch afterwards at our house - we have a nice family photo someone took after the baptism to be given to me later |
 |
| Here's a partial view of the buffet after we'd eaten some of the muffins, fruit, small doughnuts, banana bread and deviled eggs |
 |
| Fun doughnut idea from Pinterest (photo taken after many were eaten) |

 |
| We went to the Brick Oven on Joshua's real birthday |
 |

 |
| Some of Joshua's friends made a candy bar scavenger hunt for his birthday, and he ended up at our house where the poster was to put the candy bars on |
 |
| Emma had a lot of fun walking in her mom's flip flops - she's just growing up so fast! She even had her first poop in the potty:) |
 |
| Here's Eddie on a trip to Florida - he's in a Salvador Dali Museum here |
Prom Invite and Response
 |
| Joshua asked a friend to the Prom - he put a card in a ziplock bag in a tuperware container with water that he froze and then gave Kenzie - his card says "Now that we've broken the ice..." on the front and inside it says, "Will you go to Prom with me?" |
 |
| This is Kenzie's response - a cake pan with what looks like a cake with chocolate frosting on it - instead it was a block of ice with frosting, and under it was her response: |
 |
| "Dear Josh! It would be the ICE-ing on the cake to go to Prom with you! YES!!!! |
Granddaddy's 95th Birthday
 |
| Kimberly and her sister's-in-law were invited to visit Grandma Vivi and Granddaddy to celebrate Granddaddy's 95th birthday, as well as Grandma Vivi's 94th birthday and their 71st anniversary - all in March! (in San Antonio) |
 |
| We had such a great time visiting with Grandma Vivi and Granddaddy! Uncle Chris planned the whole trip with fun outings and meals, nice candy and flowers in our hotel rooms, and he made copies of old home videos of Grandma Vivi and Granddaddy, Mom, etc. They still have such great memories and were so fun to talk to. We asked Grandma Vivi how she stayed so thin (as we saw in the home videos) and she said, "By chasing around your grandpa." :) We also had fun talking with Aunt Lois and Aunt Pat and Cousin Meredith during our visit - they had some great stories and poems to share! |
 |
| Texas Bluebells - too bad Kimberly got bitten by Texas fireants while photographing the flowers |
 |
| We had a fun boat ride around the Riverwalk Mall |
Some of us made it to a session at the San Antonio Temple -
it was beautiful - love the stained glass! (waiting for a photo...)
 |
| Here are some of us one night out on the town - we all had such a fun time together, talking until 4 a.m. every night (I've never been so tired and took a whole day afterwards to catch up on my sleep - but it was too fun to talk!) We're missing Laura in this picture, but we had a great time with her for two days at the beginning of our visit - I'm excited for her to marry Cordell in June! |
Personal Progress Night
 |
| 1st they worked on Personal Progress |
 |
| Then they made General Conference Packets |
 |
| These Cheetos have flyers attached describing how the girls could do a 10-hour Value Project by watching General Conference, setting goals, etc, with a saying, "Don't Cheet Yo-self, Watch General Conference!" |
Easter
 |
| We had a fun picnic and Easter Egg hunt with the cousins in Saratoga Springs on the Saturday before Easter |
 |
| Easter Sunday cuties:) We had a wonderful Easter service at Church and are so grateful for our Savior whose Atonement and Resurrection we celebrate this day and always. |
