Easter Dress Take 2

 

 This pretty little girl in this pretty little dress is a hand-me-down from Alena, made with love by Grandma.  Sweet Sen wasn't feeling well enough to be at church Easter Sunday so we came home. These are pretty much the only Easter pictures I took(with one exception). Glad I captured her.




 
Ya, this is the other Easter picture. Not so Eastery but oh so real:)

General Conference Weekend







Sen is Everybody's Favorite Girl

Can you tell these pictures are from my terrible phone camera? Oh well, they're still sweet moments I'd rather not lose. I'm so thankful for a big family. As demanding as it is, I love that they have each other.
Alena's melted crayon art.

Snuggling into a loving brother.



NOT doing math with cuisinaire rods. Nothing like a little brother and sister to give you a good excuse to goof off.

Valentine's Day Flowers from Daddy.

Sen's Workout

Sen wanted to show me her pushups.
 



And sit-ups




Field Day with Dad

Matt was super-hero Dad and took the kids to this amazing Field Day put on by one of our homeschool organizations.





The look on Brig's face says it all. Thanks to those amazing field day planners.


New Life of Matt and Jane



I got to travel to the Bay Area for this marvelous wedding.


 

I have so many good memories of this trip, including picking oranges Hendstroms at the Jesuit Seminary Lynne studies at.

Shopping for last minute wedding shoes for Jane at the Stanford Shopping Center,

all the visiting with the wonderful people I adore,

the many fun and self-less wedding traditions Matt and Jane had,
 




and then the fun reunion with my good friend Tracy and her family.
 There were so many more great memories that, of course, I didn't take pictures of. I'm so thankful that I got to go.

Family Day

So we were lucky enough to get to take  part in this demo of what goes on at this training facility.

Matt's Aunt Bonnie and Uncle Bruce were able to join us from Florida.










They did a stupendous job on this event. My family had a good time and loved seeing everything.
