March Madness

By
I know, March is over. Better late than never, right? March dragged on for me as I was sick almost the entire time. I am finally feeling better and I thought I should try to catch everyone up on our activities.

The Spring Jubilee was the day before Easter so we had no time for the normal Easter festivities. We boiled a few eggs at my moms house Saturday night and went home to color them. When Sabrina was little we colored 5 dozen eggs just for her, and then made her find them all. This year we colored 18. I realized that wasn't enough for 3 children so the Easter Bunny also hid eggs with money. No one complained, but I will have to do better next year. Easter was fun with Lynda and Josh. I don't know how everyone ended up wet, but it looked like everyone enjoyed themselves, especially the dogs and Nicholas.


After Easter we went to the Jelly Belly Factory and Marine World. It is amazing how may different variations of tea cup ride are available, and people actually stand in line to go on them, and then smile afterwards. I only went on one ride, but I think it affected me so much that I had the stomach flu for a few days after that. We are all better now and enjoying the spring weather. It has been so nice outside that I took Nicholas and I have gone to the park almost every day. I love spring.

Springtime with Grandma L.

We were so happy to have Grandma come and visit this Spring.  Even more exciting was that she was able to stay for Easter!!!  I love having family visit for holidays! Some of the thing we did during her short stay: We went to the International Festival at the kids school where we ate food from many different countries.  It was delicious.  The girls decided to stay at the festival while we took Nicholas to the Embassy Easter Egg hunt in the snow. Although it doesn't look cold, I lost feeling in my extremities.  It was freezing.  Because of the weather a lot fewer people showed up than expected so the amount of eggs to collect rose from the original amount of 12 to however many could fit in the basket. We visited Keukenhoff in Holland to see the beautiful flowers.  While we did see beautiful flowers, most of them were indoors as it has been a very cold spring.   Flower Fashion Outside the crocus' were blooming and the...

Making dreams come true...

...one tree at a time. Poor little trees. You know the ones. Not quite pretty enough for the cherished Christmas tree. Standing all alone in the forest. Or maybe not standing alone, but so close to the perfect tree next to them that only one side is presentable. Wishing, hoping, wanting for someone to come along who recognizes them for what they are on the inside. Who cares that the branches are too scrawny to hold lights up? We try to help the less glamorous trees every year. It makes them feel good. And this year's tree was perfect for the kids to decorate all by themselves. I helped by picking out the lightest ornaments so the tree would not topple over. I know you're all jealous. It makes a great conversation piece and causes laughter for all who come to our house. If you would like a house full of jolly company next year, think of the trees. Make one happy. You can even keep most of the decorations in the box.

Temple Trip

Lindsay went to the temple for the first time and since the temple closest to us is in The Netherlands and we would be gone for a long time we took the little guy with us.  I miss the days when I had family and friends willing to take an extra kid for the day but he was a champ and waited in the waiting room by himself for hours.  It won't be long before he's old enough to go inside with us.  They grow up so fast.
