Claire's Spring Break

Claire had her spring break a week before the rest of the kids. I think she really enjoyed hanging out with me for the week with no other kids around. She also got to spend the week with Grandma Linda since she was visiting. 

We went to the park a couple of times to hunt for lizards, try to catch butterflies, play with her cousin, and have fun! We visited our favorite bakery, walked the street fair, and shopped. It was a nice week and a great reminder to me that slowing down and enjoying the simple things in life is so important. 

Conference Weekend

Robert, Linda, and Jane made a weekend trip to Salt Lake City, Utah for April general conference. They had a great time. They watched the Saturday morning session in the Tabernacle. Linda and Jane attended the Saturday afternoon session in the Conference Center and all three of them made it in to the Sunday morning session in the Conference Center. They got to see our new prophet speak. They had to leave the hotel at 6:30am and walk to the conference center to stand in line in 46degree weather to get the Sunday tickets. They said it was worth it. 
They played in the snow, Linda did baptisms in the Salt Lake temple with names she found, swam and exercised at the hotel, did some shopping, and had Easter dinner with my Aunt Carole and my cousins. The Easter Bunny even found them at the hotel!
I think the girls will always remember this trip they made with their dad.
Bruce, Claire and I stayed home this time. We had Easter dinner with Gregg and hung out with my mom.
