Easter 2013

Trying to decide if I should post what I am really thinking or keep this a happy Easter post. 

Woke up and the kids saw their Easter baskets.  This is the first year we have done baskets and I think it went well.  Kids got a few things they needed and a few they didn't.  Then off to church.  I got a few pics before church and this is the result
Well...Let's back up.  So we did an egg hunt inside the house because it was too late at night last night when I got the eggs done.  So the kids looked for eggs before it was time to get ready for church

Then we got ready for church.  It was fast and testimony meeting. For the most part our ward does really well with following the standard set by the first presidency.  Then when we got home I wanted some pictures taken.  So this is what the result of that was.




Then the kids finished their egg hunt.  Lee went over to my parents to fix their stove and we joined him after Andrew woke up from his nap.  We had dinner with my parents and came home to finish a book report.  Lee worked this evening which is good and bad. 

The kids had so much with the egg hunt that they took turns outside hiding them for each other.
Now the kids are in bed and Lee is still at work. 

Life is good!

Just in the spirit of Easter...I know that my Savior lives and that he died for me.  I know that Easter is not about new clothes or eggs or baskets.  I know that my kids know that as well.  It is about a celebration of hope of Christ rising from the death.

Feeling all the Feels

Right now I am feeling all the feels. We had such a great week with my nephew and Jake. The house is louder and has more enegy when all four kids are home. And our nephew is seriously one of favoriate people. He lets the boys hand on him and they just look up to him so muchd. So I am writting because I am not sure what else to do at this pount. I have been applying for a job(s) that I have been inspired to do for a long time. I have been really trying to to step upside of my comfort zone and apply for things that I know I can do although I have never done them before. I have been considering doing some writing and writing a book. I have no desire to be published I just want to be able to start being more creative . I have so many fears about so many things. Missy Kay turned 19 today and Andrew had his first tennis meet of the seaon. I am thankful for my people who show up to support and love us. There was this moment at the meet where one of the parents gave me haug aft...

Time to dust this off

L:ong story short I came across something that made we want to add back to this. Not sure why but hwere we go. Life is constantly chaning and I feel so mnuch surround bu death lately. Not diredctly although I fee like that is coming but more just heartbreak for so many around me. Yesterday Victoria quailfied for state. It was an answer to a prayer. I prayed she would qualify and felt strongly she would. As we left her away at the meet she was certain as were we that she hadn't qualified and then the clouds parted and she will be able to run. She told me she prayed that she would have a good last high school race. and her last race was not grea. There were tears. And rears when she called me to tell me she qualified. So rad trip to ther side of teh state next weekend Wednesday Jake is going through the temple. So many mixed feelings for so many reasons. I shouldn't expect people to show up but sometimes it is just so hard when my mom is the only "church...

LOCK DOWN

The governor came out on Wednesday and ordered a lock down.  It seems like a good idea and will not changed our lives all that much.  We did decided that we would only go to the grocery store once a week we went last Friday.  We will go tomorrow which means it will be nine days.  Kids haven't been in a store in weeks.  Lots of time in the garden and working on yard projects.  It has been good and bad.  More family time and less running around.  But lack of structure over the past two weeks has been tough.  Tomorrow would be the day the kids start back to school.  It is likely they won't be going back at all this year.  Victoria will be the most effected.  No eighth grade graduation likely   The school could decide to bring back just eighth and 12th graders.  Either way they are all out until 4/20.  "distance learning" will start for the kids on 4/13.  Which is another reason I think they will end the schoo...
