In like a Lion out like Lamb?

I hope so!  This month has been a little crazy!  I feel like it is over before it really had a chance to get started.  Not that we have done anything special this month, just busy.  We got our kitchen put back together after the flooring project (which I LOVE, by the way).  It’s amazing how just having that one part of your house in disarray throws off your groove!  The garage is also in a much cleaner and usable state.

Church is keeping me busy with a lesson that I taught at the beginning of the month, RS birthday celebration the 2nd week, visits with the stake, presidency meetings, and a get together for sisters with March and April birthdays!  It’s a good thing the church is true!

Avery Jane lost another tooth!  This time she was requesting a new box of crayons and she left the tooth fairy a note.  She wanted to know where the tooth fairy lived.  I was never smart enough as a kid  to ask questions like that! I was just happy with the quarter under my pillow!

The girls and their Dad had their first Daddy Daughter Date of the year.  We have thought for quite some time that we needed to do DDD’s so that Chloe would “love” her Daddy as much as she seems to “love” her Mom.  We started them off with a bang!  Stephen planned the afternoon starting with asking that I get them all dressed up in their princess outfits.  Then he whisked them off for a Princess Afternoon at Disney on Ice.  They suckered him into the $22 spinney light up TinkerBell toy, the popcorn and of course the cotton candy!  Poor Chloe slept through part of the show, but I think overall they loved it!

Our ward hosted a fun Easter party this last weekend at the park.  While it was still a little cold in the shade under the bowery, out in the sunshine was a good time for all of us.

Easter egg hunt, 3 legged races, gunny sack races,  and candy sling shots…good times!

After the party we came home and Stephen started in on the next home improvement project…

The sliver party, wasp infested, great leaning deck met its demise!

Does anybody have ideas for a new one!?

We are currently accepting deck plans and volunteer laborers!

And last but not least…we are officially a one car family!  The Saturn drove off for greener pastures at the south end of the valley.  A nice man came by a couple of weeks ago and offered us $150 for it.  Stephen told him he would think about it.  The same guy came back Saturday and offered him $200 for it…Stephen cleaned it out and off it went!

We hope the guy made it to where he was trying to get!

(I tried to find a picture of The Saturn, this is all I could find!)

Stephen is having a hard time with the separation, but we hope that he can deal with his grief over time!  It was the first car he ever bought.  It drove us to the Olive Garden almost every weekend while we were dating, we drove it the night he proposed and even drove it from our reception (just in case the friends and brothers decided to really trash our car!)

I should cut him some slack!

Wow, that turned out to be quite the post!  Hope you enjoyed a peek at our crazy life.

See ya next time!
