April

Randy went on a business trip the week after Easter so the boys and I ate out, had movie nights, and went on a super fun hike with our friends! The boys had so much fun exploring, eating snacks, and Wells was a champ being carried.

I got to celebrate a friends 30th birthday with a 90’s themed party that was SO cute.

Graham had his end of year art show for his art class and he did SUCH a beautiful job with all his artwork this year. It’s so cool to watch him learn and find things he loves. And we LOVE Miss Kenzie!

I’ve been trying new kinds of cooking and really loving making Thai food lately! We also had a cream puff bakeoff which was so much fun!

Randy ran the Salt Lake City Half Marathon and did SO good! He finished in 1:39 and had a 7:22 per mile pace. I am SO proud and so obsessed with him. He’s so incredible!

The boys are growing up too fast. Wells can talk your ear off, can count, knows some colors, and has LOTS of opinions. Graham can read and do math, is riding his three wheeler around, loves to scooter, and is too smart. Both of these boys are so fun and we are so lucky that our family is so fun!

General Conference and Easter

We had such a beautiful General Conference weekend and then Easter weekend!

The boy loved celebrating Women’s History Month in March with cool shirts with amazing women on them!

General Conference weekend meant lots of playing with cousins, eating delicious food, and fun workbook activities.

Easter was the BEST. We colored eggs with Grandma and Grandpa at our house and Dad made his famous themed ones, choosing a Mario/Smash Brothers/Video Game theme that the boys LOVED.

Our neighborhood Easter egg hunt went really well, with over 60 kids and a pancake breakfast! Randy cooked eggs while Maddy helped with the Primary! The boys found lots of eggs and our cute balloon backdrop that a friend made was a hit! The Richards family dinner and egg hunt was so fun and Graham and Wells love seeing their cousins and their grandparents. Everyone always has to have Milanos and Pringles every time we go to Grammy and Grampy’s too which is so fun!

On Easter Morning the Easter Bunny brought SO many goodies, including a brand new CAR for the boys! Chalk, bubbles, and plenty of candy too. The boys were in heaven! After church where Graham sang, we went to the Lows for a fun Easter Egg hunt! Tons of candy and toys there for everyone to enjoy, and a delicious dinner. Wells wanted to be in the shed with Grandpa, jamming to music, while the adults played frisbee.

During the week of Easter we talked about Holy Week, and I got to do my favorite thing and wash the boys feet while we talk about Jesus and how He did that too. It’s always a time of beautiful reflection as I ponder the Savior I have come to know, and how much I love Him. I feel so lucky to understand more about His love than I ever have before.
