Spring Break

This week was a lot of fun.  We spent the whole week playing.  I made a twirled paper Rapunzel with her frying pan and Pasqual.  They turned out so cute!  My friend then helped my to make some twirled food.

  We also went to Goblin Valley and Mark and I got lost.  We said a prayer and then Dad found us and helped us get back.  It was scary, but the rest of it was fun.  We went to Little Wild Horse Canyon the previous day, and hiked eight miles in only 7 and 1/2 hours!   It was lots of fun.  We got to jump off rocks and climb over big walls of rock too. 

Today we had our Easter program.  The choir sang Joy in the Morning, and some other songs, but the Joy song was my favorite.  Rachel and I got to take a walk and see the horses.  When we came back Mom asked if the horses were being reverent too.  Hee Hee! 

I got to sew a front and back for a bag on the sewing machine and I am pretty proud of m self.  Thanks Mommy!

We got to play a neighborhood game of capture the flag in our yard.  It wasn’t really a neighborhood game, but we each had a few friends over.  Our team had the flag tied to the bike shed handle.  Eventually we had all our people in jail, and we started to argue about getting out until the other team forfeited the game.  At least it was fun until then! 

Hoping you all have a great Sunday!      

Surprise Snow, Spring Break, Swimming, and Conference

I was hoping for the nice weather to last, but I forgot that that never happens in the spring when you live in Utah.  So instead we got a surprise snow with about enough snow to make everything white plus a little bit.  Oh well, at least we got to stay inside and clean.  We also went out on Conference Sunday when we also got some snow and built some snow stuff and Mark and Dad had a snowball fight.

Hooray for spring break!  This week consists of Planet Earth of Life in the mornings, a little bit of cleaning after that, and more playing following that.  We might even be going to the Hogle Zoo! 

On Saturday we went swimming, and I learned how to do a front flip off the diving board.  I also played monkey in the middle with Mark and Roo Roo (Rachel).  Neil got to try the water out for the first time and was a bit unsure and timid.  By the end he was able to splash the water without crying, and so mom held him and walked out into the four foot area to come be with us.

Conference was a blast!  I was able to get a bunch of great notes, and add another row to my afgan.  I also helped Roo Roo start her own with some really soft yarn that she has.  I think that my favorite talk was Elder Holland’s talk.  My favorite quote is “We should always try to hold Family Home Evening each week, even though bedlam reigns, inflicted by little bedlamites!” 

Hope you all have a wonderful week, and I will hopefully be posting a bunch of fun stuff we did over the break.
