EASTER!

Our Easter this year was a little different! The 3 kids went with Brett while his family was down for Conference and I went with Mom, Dad, Grandma, Kaydan, and Lady to Arizona to see Ian and his family and to soak up some sun in this long drawnout winter we are having! We left Thurs. and it was snowing here. Fri. we get to AZ and it is in the 80's. Perfect weather!! I understand how you could live there even though it is not the prettiest of places. It was greener than the last time I was there due to the moisture they have received! Thanks to Grandma for my early b-day present we got to get a manicure and pedicure together!! Try to have a pedicure and relax with tickelish feet! It wasn't easy, but I love the way it made them feel when I was done! I love having nice fingernails again, but it is taking some getting used to doing things differently with my hands!! Thanks Grandma LOL!


Even though we had a hard time with conference, I love the feelings and the inspiration I receive by being a part of it! I love this time of year when easter rolls around! I love my Savior and am so greatful to be blessed by his wonderous gifts he freely gives! I hope that my kids realize the true meaning of easter even though they will have 2!

The kids and I are having our easter celebration and got an okay from the easter bunny to celebrate it again over my b-day weekend! The kids are super excited for the chance to have 2 of everything all the time, so at least they aren't focused on the negative! The Lord continues to bless us each day even if it is just a little thing we know he is there! Just like our little answer to prayer about our missing garbage can! We came home yesterday after Tepaynga's dance and our big garbage can was gone outside! WEIRD! Who would steal a garbage can? So I called the city,but they were closed! All sorts of things go through your mind when something like that happens and we prayed we could find it and this morning the city called and said it had blown over and the neighbors who were missing theirs thought ours was theirs. Come to find out the neighbors garbage can was found at the gas station down the road! It is back now and that is over!

We have way too many prarie dogs to count out our back door! It is making me nervous! I swear they multiply everyday!! I can look out my window and see at least 10-15 if not more and they are starting to come closer to the house! It is making me nervous if the weather gets warmer when the kids want to go out to play! I don't know if they have rabbies or will bite. I have called the city/wildlife people about it, but I have yet to hear back! I don't know if there is anything I can do because they are mostly in the vacant lot behind our house, but would like to be able to do something to get rid of them without breaking the law! Any ideas are welcome!!

Well that was a bunch randomness with everything but I hope it makes sense!! Hope everyone is doing great and hopefully we will see some good weather soon! LOL

Well I am quite jealous of the trip to phoenix! I need some warm weather too! oh and my toes could definitely use a pedicure. But as far as the prairie dogs go, don't you have a dad and some brothers with guns that would take care of that for you!!?

I would have thought that Ian got rid all those prarie dogs when he was a teenager :)... my dad knows several ways to rid yourself of them, you could ask him or any other farmer in town for that matter. Good Luck!
