Thank goodness it is Spring! We have really been enjoying the warmer weather - spending lots more time outside and getting some spring cleaning done. This really has to be one of my favorite times of year. Yes, there is the occasional snow storm but on the whole you can just feel the earth coming alive again after a long winter's nap. In the last few weeks we have seen Easter come and go. The kids really enjoyed it this year. We spent some time at Grandma J.'s house with the Jeppson cousins on Saturday. JJ gave a talk in Primary (didn't we just give talks?) and Lance and I both had to teach on Sunday besides it being Easter Sunday. It was busy day but we had a nice time doing dinner in the afternoon with all the grands. We tried to take pictures of the kids in there Easter outfits - of course Asher would only cooperate if he was given lots of candy - so most of the photos he has huge cheeks full of candy!Earlier in the week Jamie and I took our kids to Farm Country at Thanksgiving Point. The kids all had fun but I think that Asher loved it the most. He was totally unafraid of the animals big or small. He loved being free to run and was generally thrilled by everything he saw. Check out the 4 day old baby goat they were taking care of! So cute! Today a couple of my friends here kind enough to come over and help me start de-junking and getting more organized. I can see that it is going to be a long process but worth it in the end. Thank you, thank you Jamie and Missy for helping me lighten my load.
