Life as usual!

The other night Copper and I got to craft together for an Activity Days mother-daughter paint night.  So fun!

On Saturday, my friend Ashley invited us to go to the Jordan River Temple Open-House.  It's SOOOO beautiful!  It was a self-guided tour, which meant we could spend as much time in one area as we wanted.  Sweet Micah said she felt so wonderful in the temple that she wanted to be baptized right then and there!  Her sweet spirit makes up for the fact that she wears sneakers to all church related events, including temple times and sacrament meeting.

Saturday afternoon I helped Tim clean up the lilac bushes he trimmed for me.  They're growing out of control and killing my grass so he had fun with the chainsaw.  There's a lot more that needs to be done, but hours later he was beat.  What a trooper!  I burned limbs for over an hour and there's still a ginormous pile, plus the dumpster bin we filled up.  While I burned things, the girls and Tim played baseball in the backyard and drew with chalk.  We read scriptures by the fire and it was a perfect spring night.

Today was perfect!  We went to my mom's ward, where she and my dad spoke in Sacrament Meeting for the first time in twenty years!  The girls and I then took a walk down the road to Christofferson's farm and fed the sheep.  I wish I could have gotten Dakota's face but she was pretty into it and the sheep kinda loved her.  Then we kept walking to the cemetery and talked about family history, our ancestors, how people died, and what we can do to celebrate them.  I love the cemetery!  It was a LONG walk back to our house, uphill, and I'm sure Micah's legs were going to fall off so I had to carry her a bit until my own legs melted.  Copper and Dakota were troopers!  

Such a fun week.  I'm so grateful for my family!

 

 Oh  yeah... and some documentation of the little project my dad thought of...
