Easter and General Conference

Happy Easter! 

 

What a magical season to be reminded of Christ and 

the miracles because of his resurrection in our lives!

Swim Lessons: Hurricane and Underfoot have been taking stroke lessons to get ready for swim team. Hurricane has learned how to side breath, dolphin kick, and improved his streamline. Underfoot has started to learn how to swim breaststroke, dolphin kick, and to improve his backstroke.

Den Meeting: Underfoot attended his first den meeting. He participated in the flag ceremony at the beginning on his first time. He is super excited to go. He learned about international living and how to tie knots.

Little Chefs Club: Hurricane has hosted Little Chefs Club again. We've made Space Burgers  one week. This is a shout out to Pocatello. It is a pressed sealed sandwich.

The next was April Fools Day when we made Green Eggs and Ham. The children learned how to separate a yolk from the white and after the ham was cooked made a ham roll up. Since it was Easter, they also learned how to make frosting.

I think they liked the frosting the best.

Sunday Lesson: Sweetheart volunteered to teach the Sunday lesson for the combined men and women's meeting. He taught about being observant of others and serving because you love a person and not because of feeling compelled to serve out of guilt. As we watch for ways to serve, God will give those opportunities to us.

Clean Bill of Health: I was given a clean bill of health. I can start to exercise again. Pollen has hit our area, and Sweetheart is struggling with allergies. So we swapped roles.

Family History: Underfoot has been interested in genealogy. Since he turned 8, he can have his own FamilySearch.org account. We signed him up for it and invited a genealogist to come and teach him. He had a lot of fun attaching government documents to different family members after verifying the document. We were also taught about Relative Finder and Grandma's Pie. Each is a program from university students. Relative Finder connects how you are related to people like people from the Declaration of Independence Signers or the Mayflower. Grandma's Pie goes back 6 generations saying where your family came from in the past.

Baby Shower: Since we've struggled with having a baby, I've avoided baby showers. I hosted one this last week with 2 other women. Hurricane was here and was a gentleman. When people arrived he offered to help bring in things from the car. One lady had her arms full as were his. He told her to wait so he could get the door for her. It was a nice compliment to have said of Hurricane. He is a kind boy.

General Conference: We love to watch conference as a family. There are treats, time together, and amazing messages. Between sessions the boys were invited to go swimming.

They love to swim and swam until they were too cold. On Sunday we went to have homemade pizza with another family in our congregation.

Easter: After conference the boys colored eggs

and had an egg roll down our driveway.

We invited our cousin, Sadie, to join us via FaceTime. Her egg won. Her egg may have been kicked so it would get the distance to win.

5 Tiles Left: Sweetheart has 5 tiles left to cut then thin set then grout! Then I get to seal all the floors! AND THE PROJECT WILL BE DONE! We are very EXCITED for a light at the end of the tunnel.
