Cheer/Drill Banquet

  We had the end of the year cheer and drill banquet.  It was catered by Pizza Pie, so we had super yummy pastas and salad and then the yummiest cupcakes.  It was fun to watch the recap video of such a great year and as always fun to hear the coaches little poems about each girl.  They teased coach Hailey that she couldn't sleep with the banner anymore so one of the Mom's had crocheted her a blanket that looked just like the state banner.  She even had the kids each sign a ribbon to tie on to the blanket.  We ended the night with them signing the official State Banner. Such a fun night to end a great year!

This is the real banner she took to bed the night after they won state :)

Easter

  Easter is my favorite holiday but unfortunately this year it was very chaotic, nothing went as planned and it was a little harder to to get in the Easter spirit. However, I was overwhelmed with gratitude for my Savior and Heavenly Father and felt very aware that they knew me, knew my struggles and loved me. We got to spend Easter in the new house! The girls got to find Easter eggs among boxes and chaos but they didn't mind. We listened to General Conference while we dyed Easter eggs, it was great to be able to hear the prophet speak. We did ham and funeral potatoes for dinner and took it down to Grandpa and Grandma's and ate with them. Then we came back up to the house to make our Resurrection rolls as a family.
