So much catching up to do

Pictures from my girl trip to Utah.

Saying goodbye to my oldest nephew, who leaves on his mission in a couple weeks.

An Easter Feast with our "Missouri family" and a fun egg hunt full of excitement and smiles.

Details of the last week when my parents stayed with us in Missouri and we had a blast doing many fun activities.

Two dance recitals.

Two soccer teams ending their season.

Two children doing an amazing job trying out for the local play, and both getting large speaking roles.

Preparations for a huge Primary activity this Saturday, including assembling blankets out of at least 50 yards of fleece.

Preparing to give a talk in church on Sunday.  On Mothers Day, when I shouldn't have to do anything.  Mean.

One computer that crashed, so I'm currently typing on the brand-new Dell, thanks to my Dad who assembled it.

One band concert I just found out about.

Whew!  A couple more weeks of this craziness until school gets out.  Then a whole new kind of craziness begins . . .summer break!

I had to give a Mother's Day talk two years in a row and then Father's Day the next.
That is just no fair.
Hang on...school is almost out!!! Hurrah!

You are the coolest gal I know! Seriously Ali! All you do for your kids, and how you rely on the spirit, and all of your experiences are so inspiring! I know you do an amazing job with those four! I am so glad that you are able to do so much for so many people. They need YOU! Thanks for always being my pal and lifting me up. School decisions are so hard. I hope I can be as strong as you, and listen to do whats right with my kids. Good luck with it all. I am thinking about you! Much love!
