Albuquerque Temple Tour

On Saturday our primary got the opportunity to take a tour of the temple. We are so lucky to live so close to one. The temple worker walked around the grounds with the children and talked about all the special features of the temple. I was such a nice day outside although it was awefully "breezy" as the weatherman says. This time of year we have alot of wind. All of the kids really enjoyed the tour.

Happy Earth Day

We went to Lowe's today to check out the plants. There were so many to pick from. I let each of the kids pick a flower. Evie picked a dark pink snapdragon and Isaac picked orange marigolds. I just wanted to have a tomato plant and Greg got 6 different herbs. I am really excited to dry the herbs and store them for the winter. It's not a garden but it will have to do for now. Isaac is my little waterer and keeps checking the plants to make sure they don't get thirsty. The kids are so excited about watching them grow. It was never my favorite thing to work in the garden as I was growing up (sorry Mom) but I am glad that I have a love of it now.

Easter festivities

We had a wonderful easter. The kids couldn't wait to color eggs and 2 dozen hard boiled eggs just weren't enough but how many eggs can you acually eat within a week? We were all excited about being able to do an easter egg hunt in warm weather instead of the snow and wouldn't you know it rained all day. So another year passes with an easter egg hunt in the living room. Luckly the kids had too much fun to notice. It's nice to spend our holidays together as our little family although we do miss our extended family very much. We were able to have the sister missionaries over for easter dinner and ended the night with wonderful conversations.

Disneyland 2009

Greg had mentioned that we needed to take a family vacation this summer and I thought that Disneyland would be fun. Within two weeks of talking about it we were on our way to California and to make it even more fun my parents and Chad and Lacey came as well. My Dad raised us to make fun a family affair. We had a most wonderful time. Greg said that with Isaac being 5 and Evie 3 "this was the most magical time for Disneyland".
