Busy weekend





















Friday we had Susan's "Sing Into Spring" program on Friday. She did a great job. I am very proud of her. Here a some picures. Before the program started, she was in gym class. The kids were playing "Spiders and Flies" and had to tag eachother with foam balls while running from one side to the other. Susan was a great Spider during that game. She didn't even notice me until class was almost over.












Saturday we drove up to Twin Falls to see the spectacular viewing of the Shoshone Falls. It was spectacular. The kids had so much fun running and climbing on all the trails amd finding "hidden" trails (they were well worn). I ran into some friends and their family so we hung out with them for the rest of the day. We went to a local state park for some hiking and climbing then we went and found a cave that had been carved out of a rock. All of the kids thought it was scary and fun at the same time. We also went to the Faulkner Planetarium to see a show. The kids thought it was pretty cool. It was very entertaining. We got home very late, but, Megan got to church on time and all was well for Sunday.









I will be heading to Denver on Thursday afternoon with my friend Lauren from work. We are both so very excited. I have had Mom and Anne on the hunt for rental properties around the kids school and hopefully I'll be able to get in and see one on Friday or Saturday between shopping trips.

Spring is here!

Hello all! Things have been going well here. I'm so happy that the weather has decided to be nice at last. Moving day is drawing near and we are very excited. This past weekend I moved everything out of my storage unit into my garage with the help of Dad and his friend Aaron. They were a huge help. However, I now am having to do without parking in my garage for now.

I've had some medical concerns in the last few weeks, but, thankfully I'm hoping that I am back on my way to being better. It was recently discovered that I also am positive for the Factor V gene that is responsible for blood clots (like Anne's). I am being treated for some superficial clots in my leg. After suffering from some side effects of the medication, it looks to be like I am doing fine.

We celebrated Susan's 7th birthday a few weeks ago. She was very excited and had a great day. We went shopping and she got some new jewelry and such from me. Grandma made a wonderful dinner and we had a great time celebrating. We then celebrated Grandma's birthday by taking her out to dinner at one of her favorite mexican restaurant. We had a lot of fun.

Megan had a big day at school planned on 4/3 for the Oregan Trail study that is going on at school, however, the weather did not co-operate so it has been rescheduled for the end of April. I will be able to go and participate and help out that day.

I am looking forward to my up coming trip to Denver at the end of April with my friend Lauren from work. It is going to be very exciting to go and get to go shopping and to just let loose and have fun.

We are getting ready for Easter here. It looks to be a good weather day here for the weekend. I will post pictures next week.
