Spring Is Here!

And that means, Spring Cleaning! Matt has been outside working hard the past couple of weekends and sometimes during the week to work on our back yard. Provo City has a dumpster for anyone to just bring things over to dump for free till the end of April so we're taking advantage of it and getting rid of everything! Our goal is to have the backyard done by the end of May. Matt also tackled the messy job of finishing cleaning out our garage of crap that's been left through the years from the first owner. We cleaned the bottom half of the garage last year but we still needed to clean the storage spaces above. It was a dirty job and I'm very glad Matt did it and without me. I can't stand dirt and since that stuff most likely has been there since the 1940's, there was a lot of dirt and dust up there. There was some pretty interesting things stored up there. One in particular a Santa head with out it's body. Later we found the body and we think it's a planter. The other thing was an old frame that my brother Nathan took and will clean up. We can't wait to have a finished back yard where we can play and hang out as a family.

Easter Weekend

We had a wonderful Easter/Conference weekend. It was especially fun having them the same weekend. I wish we had Conference more often instead of every six months. The talks were inspirational and I loved how they talked mostly about families. Ballard, Holland and Bednar's talks jumped out the most but they were all so good. Can't wait for the Conference Ensign to re-read them. With Easter during the same time, it just made it extra special and fun. Easter and Conference needs to happen more often as well. Friday night we dyed Easter eggs with Evan. This was our first time with him and he enjoyed it. I was watching him like a hawk though. He only spilled once so I didn't have that much to clean up so it was nice.


Saturday is when we have the Easter Bunny visit us. We like separating the Bunny part from Sunday so we can focus on Chirst and his Resurrection. The Easter Bunny didn't disappoint this year even though it was small.

We invited a bunch of our friends over for a big breakfast and egg hunt before the fist session of conference. It was just Cadence and Evan for the hunt at first but two more kids came buy later and recovered the rest of the eggs they didn't find. There were also some left for the adults to enjoy.


We stayed home Saturday for both sessions. Michael and Julie stayed and watched with us and then the boys were off to the Priesthood Session shortly after that. My MIL came by and watched Evan for me so I can go off with Aubrey and her two sister's. We had dinner at Pizza Pie Cafe and then we went shopping. Aubrey and I got some baby outfits since we're both expecting and only a week from each other. It was a fun evening with them and I enjoyed getting to know Shan and Michelle better.
I stole these from Aubrey's blog :).

Me and Aubrey showing off our belly's. I haven't posted one in a while but this is me at 34 weeks. Aubrey is 35 weeks.

On Easter we spent the day with Matt's family by watching both sessions and having Easter dinner for lunch and then we had another Easter dinner at my parent's house at dinner. It was a nice relaxing day for us.
