Happy! Happy! Joy! Joy!
Happy Easter
We have had a wonderful Easter. The Easter Bunny brought a sewing machine- what a cool Easter Bunny! Now the girls can start their huge project box! Bob, Kayla, and I sang a song with the ward choir that Marisa accompanied beautifully on her violin. Marisa also spoke today and did a great job.
(Notice all jelly beans have been organized by color!)
Happy 18th Anniversary
This Friday was our 18th anniversary! It’s hard to believe it has been so long. Beautiful roses were delivered to my doorstep and I made Bob a Reese’s bouquet. We didn’t go celebrate yet since Bob’s CT scan showed he had pneumonia and I had a cold. So, instead, we had a quiet evening at home and shared a Shamrock Shake. It’s been an Amazing 18 years and I am so excited about many, many more!
The Joy of a Child’s Perspectives
It has been another rainy, dreary, cold week. It’s like Mother Nature has been teasing us! We had another huge rain storm (which I do love to watch) and Alayna was SO excited. She pulled on her boots, ran to get her umbrella, and literally spent the next 30 minutes singing and dancing in the rain! She even pulled off some pretty impressive leaps. Sometimes I am really grateful to get those few moments that give me small glimpses of the world through a child’s eyes.
More Joys
*Making Homemade Tacos (which Tyler has been dying to do for months!)
*Putting in the new raised garden bed for the strawberries.
*Alayna has been working very hard on her Titanic project. She and I went to Michaels and bought her materials. She knew exactly what she wanted and how she wanted to do it, so I let her run with it. I will include some preliminary pics and will include the one of the final project when she is done. She is Mrs. Astor in the play they are doing next week and she is so excited.

*We are overjoyed to have Grandma and Grandpa Hart here for the week for Easter, the musical, and the science presentation!

So happy to hear of the strawberries...will they be ready by July? Hope you enjoyed your Easter! Alayna has no choice but to have some of those organizing tendencies! My kids however couldn't even tell you how many jelly beans were in their baskets...they scarfed them so quickly. Happy Anniversary!
