Easter and Grad Pictures

We took some Senior Pics of Haley....


My poinsettia is still going strong!





Abby lost her front tooth! She didn't even have to pull it out, she just lost it! haha!
I started a new project, that may be more than I can handle. We will see! I started cleaning my cabinets and noticed that the paint could peel off pretty easily, so I started peeling 3 layers of paint off. Now, I'm taking the cabinets back to their original finish, it's a huge job. I'm already tired, haha! I've since sanded off the brown paint, i'll update weekly. I'm estimating this will take me until August to finish...
We stopped by the Pauls to drop off a gift for Ethan on his birthday and sang to him from the ground....we love you Ethan!















Zaharis had a spirit day on Friday, we were asked to wear our school shirts. Abby and I wore our shirts and we were featured on the schools instagram and facebook accounts, ha!


We went for a walk and our neighbors happened to be walking too, so we did the 6ft social distance walk together....



We heart attacked a sister in our ward that is battling breast cancer for the 3rd time...
Easter! We are so grateful for our Savior and know that He lives! How great that knowledge is!

It was a great egg hunt, because Haley was still sleeping. haha!



Ashlyn did Abby's hair...





















My matching babies...

We are growing more and more accustomed to being home and the kids are dealing with it wonderfully. They love being home, and have gotten creative with their time. I'm coming to terms with it, I only wish that i could spend time with the Pauls and go to the store. Hopefully soon!

Corona Continues...

Corona continues and we found out this week that we would not be returning to school this year. The kids were pretty bummed, Haley will be missing out on all of the Senior Activities and graduation, Jacob is also missing out on 6th grade graduation and SeaWorld. We are bummed. Haleys been doing online schooling this last week, the rest of the kids will start on Monday. I'm hoping to get a more clear direction on how to homeschool, so far it hasn't been working very well.
Last Sunday I organized a parade of cars to welcome home all of our missionaries, we had 3 come home! It was fun to drive by each house, honk and wave and yell that we miss them. We love our ward family...

We also made this video for a talent show that I hosted on Facebook for our primary, we had lots of kids participate and it turned out so cute!
Here's a sign that Ashlyn made for our parade of homecoming...


I tried my hand at watercolor painting...
Ashlyn with her YW medallion...



A friend sent me this old pic of Ashlyn, so cute!
I got Rick an early birthday present, a hammock! We are loving relaxing on it....
We went to Ricks work to set up a computer for a member on his team to pick up on Monday. It was fun to see where daddy works, it was eery being in the office with no one there...

We have been enjoying General Conference this weekend...it has been a spiritual feast and I feel so blessed to be apart of this gospel at this time. We have been asked to fast this Friday which happens to be good Friday...
We also received a new symbol for our faith.



We are organizing, cleaning and trying to stay busy at home. I've been organizing outside, weeding and cleaning up the backyard. It's been quite the job. I'm so grateful that our family is healthy and safe and hope that continues...
