Week in Review...

We had another very full and busy week! On Monday we had dentist appointments for Ashlyn, Jacob and Abby. Abby screamed the whole time that the dentist was looking at her teeth and so of course she has cavities on her molars and they need to sedate her in order to get any work done on her. The cost for the sedation is $700, no insurance allowed. Plus the cost of the work that needs to be done. This is Jacob all over again:(. I'm looking for a cheaper route, I brush her teeth every night, so I was surprised to hear this news. On Tuesday morning Ashlyn woke up and she was white as a ghost, I thought she was either going to faint or throw up. She had her Zaharis Idol performance that day, so I know she felt really bad about waking up sick. She had to rush to the toilet a few times, but she never threw up. She was determined to not let her friends down and to go to school. I was amazed by her persistence and will power. She literally forced herself to eat breakfast and go to school. Luckily she made it through the day without incident and performed well in her performance! She told me at the end of the day that her friends kept telling her that she looked pale:). That afternoon I needed to take Haley into the dentist and I had all of the kids with me, so we decided to just stay in the car and wait. Her appt took longer than the previous day where I had 3 appts! Argh! We hurried home and took Haley over to the Stake Center where they were doing a fundraiser for camp, then went home had dinner and rushed Ashlyn out the door to her night Zaharis Idol performance. She did a great job and we got it all on video! Way to go Ashlyn!

On Easter Ashlyn received this Owl necklace watch, and she took some pictures to show it off.

This was our Easter day picture...

On Saturday Rick took Ashlyn out kayaking. They had a fun time out on the river...

They saw lots of hawks!

One point was very shallow...

They had a great time together!

Abby loved having the Easter bunny out again...

The kids dyed Easter Eggs the night before Easter...

On Wednesday night we had a Camp kickoff event and Haley was honored for having received her YW medallion, she received a certificate and a beautiful gerber daisy.

She was the youngest out of the group, the rest of the girls were Juniors or Seniors in High School.

Abby couldn't wait to wear her new bathing suit, so she wore it on the day that I got it!

Watching General Conference this morning....coloring with Abby.
