April Showers bring May flowers? Right!

Will the showers ever end? This was tonight, after we thought the sun was here for a while.

Will we ever get to plant that Garden in fulL?

Nothing like getting ready for bed and then running thru the sprinklers. Oh well - it was a most fun time watching the kids giggle and freeze while it was still in the 50's! NUTS!

MOTHERS DAY!

This is us, at Log Haven. This was a tradition for Bryan's family with his Grandmother, Sonya. The last time we were here Ryker was only 2 months old. I have the best Picture of him in this same spot Bry and I just smiling happily and him screaming his gutts out cause he wanted to eat. It is priceless. To top it off there is really no where to sit and nurse in private so as a newly learned nursing mom, i went into the bathroom and nursed him sitting on the toilet in the bathroom stall! Yes, i know, sanitary! Hey it worked! you do what you gotta do!
This brought back some memories of His Grandmother, how we miss her. She passed away shortly after we were married. I think that the Mother's day that we were there with her last was the year we were engaged. Wow! One more month and that will be 14 years! How time flies!
I Am so Grateful for my mother! I could not do it with out you. Thanks to my Mom's in Law as well, thanks for everything! You make my life a little easier to say the least!

Happy Mom's Day To ME!

Me and my honey at LOG HAVEN, up Milcreek Canyon, it is so beautiful there.

Me and Little Miss. The grounds there are Fabulous! To walk around there is fun. Waterfalls and all the fun little paths to explore.

I got so spoiled or i should say that i am so spoiled. Along with new earings and a necklace with my children's birthstones, Bryan and Ryker (a little help from me) have been working on a Green House for the back yard. I can not tell you how excited I am for this! i love to garden and this is the next level for sure! it is going to be so beautiful when it is done. We are getting closer. I have to share these pics only because Ryker everyday asks what is next. He walks around with his tool bag and wants to learn how to do everything. He had this cutest smile on his face like he knew what he was doing and was so smart. I wish you could see it in the picture. I love him for his growth and his love of learning. He makes me want to be better in all that i do.

Ryker, the understudy! Dad the wise teacher....... in so many ways.

WOMEN's CONFERENCE

How lucky was i when my dear friend Cara called and said that she had a extra ticket to Women's conference. (Thank you Mrs. Hickenlooper) It is exactally what i needed! What an amazing time and experience.

We were under the impression that we were staying in a large two bedroom room with a full kitchen, o.k., Not so much! The dorm room or prison cell was two tight single beds, flat sheet included and a toilet to share with three other rooms! After the upfront shock the whole experience was well worth it and truly we never even spent time in the room other that to shut our eyes.

We got up early on day one: 5:00! a.m. ( i have not been up that early for to long to remember) seriously who does that! But once again well worth it! Cara signed us up to sing in the Women's Choir so we had to be there by 6:30 and practice for the morning session at 9:00. I myself do not sing so well but is was amazing and i learned a lot. I love to sing! especially in the shower or in a room that only my children can hear me, sorry to my neighbors that might catch the occasional tune, but wow, talk about feeling the spirit! This room can hold 23,000 people, it was close to full on a couple of moments. They said that there was at least 15K women, maybe closer to 20K at this conference! Unreal! The Power of the RS~

The streets at BYU were packed and i am not joking when i say you better make use of those 30 minutes to get you to that next class because it was like sardines in those halls! What fun we had! hussling our gutts from one place to the next. It was beautiful and so peaceful! It was fun running into a few friendly faces too!

The Humanitarian projects were nuts! Talk about some service hours, what a great way to spend the first evening, followed by an amazing concert filled with amazingly talented people! Hilary Weeks, The Fabulous Five tap dancers, Mercy River, Alex Boye, Michael Mclean, and one more gentlemen i forget his name but what a powerful voice and quite a sacrife to be there. His wife gave birth to their son while he was there and he missed it! Tear Jerker! THANKS CARA FOR THINKING OF ME!
