April happenings

While I was in Washington visiting Janae, Mike took it upon himself (as he often does) to help me out by doing some deep cleaning on our kitchen appliances. So, while he was listening to the Saturday afternoon session of conference, he gave the dishwasher, stove and the outside of the fridge a good cleaning. Some men may bring their wives flowers or jewelry, but my man does this. And I much prefer that.




Between sessions of conference on Sunday, the 4 of us took a lovely walk in the canyon. It was lovely to be outside and enjoying each other.

We had a going away dinner for Jess and Brad with the Bundy's a couple nights before they left for Kentucky for the summer. Their leaving makes us be without a child nearby for the first time since Kylee was born. I was so sad to see them go.

They stopped in Chicago for a few days in hopes of seeing Cam, and also seeing the city. On his PDay they were lucky enough to "run into" him at his church with a little help from the zone leaders. They all loved spending an hour together.

I gave a ward bridal shower to my friend Kathy's daughter Arie.

Emma and Lydia helped me clean the hot tub. They didn't think it was a chore. They thought it was a fun adventure!

I've really perfected this whole wheat bread recipe. It is quite delicious. I love giving a couple loaves away to someone each time I make a batch.

Ann's been helping me spruce up my decorations- inside and out. Here's what my front porch looks like now.

I love this little chalkboard that I can write fun messages on!

Mike and I went to SLC one Sunday to hear Parker Lester give his farewell talk in his YSA ward. I'm so glad we got to see him before he leaves for Russia in May.

One Friday morning I went on a lovely hike to the wind caves with these fun friends.

Here's a couple adorable and funny pictures of Evan. I don't know why I don't have more to put in for the month!

 Jake was so happy he could attend the temple with one of his converts Zheng.

Here he is outside the mission office.

Emailing at the library on Pday.

Cam with his comp and 2 guys from his ward that he hangs out with a lot- Oskar and Pedro.

This is the bishops cute little 3 year old.

He got drenched riding his bike in the rain

Jake can't believe the way missionaries can dress on Cam's mission. He said if a missionary in his mission showed up somewhere looking like this they would probably get sent home! haha.

Hanging out with some neighborhood kids.
