Week in Review..

Last weekend Kristys family came up to go to Rob's cabin, so we got to see her for a few hours on Sunday. 



We got a few caterpillars for Abby, and it's been quite the experience. I had no idea there would be so much blood involved! There was blood when they came out of their cacoons! So crazy. We have one caterpillar left, it's taking its sweet time turning into a cacoon, so we aren't sure whats happening. 
We went to Red Robin on Saturday to celebrate Ricks birthday, the kids loved it!


Can you see the butterfly? Another thing we learned is that they come out looking grey and white and then over 24 hours their colors start to appear...
On Saturday I did the Heidi Hustle, celebrating Heidi Wrights life!









We released the butterflys into the world...



Rick had his birthday on Tuesday, he got a new kayak and a massage gun that Ashlyn and Jacob gave him. 







He wanted Rib eye steak for dinner and texas sheet cake for dessert, it was all delicious...



I figured out a math question that was on my test that had bugged me!



Ashlyn had an orchestra concert on Ricks birthday, it was 2 hours long! She did great!



Rick went kayaking on Saturday and had a great time...










Abby has grown in her confidence so much! On Friday she went into a kindergarten classroom and read a book to the class! The teacher said that she read clearly, loudly and showed the pictures...

Jacob wrote this on our driveway it says, if you're having a bad day listen to some Strive to Be Music.

Week in Review-Easter

We had a busy 3 day weekend! Ashlyn and I got front row on the grass. We got there at 5:30 and the chairs were behind us. The lady sitting behind us on the chairs said that she had gotten there at noon! It was amazing to see the actors faces and be so close to see everything! It was an amazing night!!

Haley and Kevin celebrated their 1 year anniversary on the 9th! They got to have Easter dinner with Becca and Grandma and Grandpa Johnson...



















The kids were all excited to do an Easter Egg hunt this morning, unfortunately Kyler decided that he wanted to join in and ate a few of the eggs! Silly dog!




Grandma Johnson made Abby this flower press and sent it with Kristy, who came to visit a for a few days with Rob. 



I got to go kayaking with Rick on Saturday! It was such a tough workout, I'm very sore today. It was so beautiful!


Rick spotted a turtle...







Ashlyn took Abby to the neighborhood Easter egg hunt because I had to take Jacob to a dr appointment, luckily she took lots of pictures for me. Here's Abby with her friend Holly...














 We feel so blessed, we are counting our blessings and are so grateful for the knowledge that Jesus is Risen, He lives! What a miracle! Happy Easter!

Interesting side-fact---the main engineer at the Slide Project that I participated in over the summer where I got to slide test airplane evacuation slides, that same engineer was the overseer of the Mesa Temple PAGEANT!
