Easter Season

We've had a great week with my dad, in spite of all the rain. We had breakfast with the Easter Bunny and went on an egg hunt at Boyd's Bear Country, we went bowling, played golf, drove to visit Darrin and Lynette in Philadelphia, went to the movies, colored Easter Eggs, made homemade ice cream, and played around outside when the sun finally came out. This Spring is starting out fantastic!

Sunny Days

The weather was wonderful all last week. Thank goodness because I was getting stir crazy from being cooped up inside. We went on walks around the neighborhood and William got to ride his tricycle outside (finally!). We went to the park a couple of times and Sean took William down to the creek and they saw a couple of big groundhogs. It's a shame this week has been so cold. At least we have some recent warm memories to get us through it.

* I just noticed that William must have worn red every day last week.

Let's Bowl!!

Last week my sister-in-law came over with her 3 girls to spend the day. William had been looking forward to it for days. He gets along really well with his cousins and it's fun to watch them play together. Since we don't have an awesome Children's Museum nearby, we decided to try bowling with the kids. They loved it!! It was so cute to watch them cheer each other on. "Go, William, Go!" "I got one, mom!" and "Yay!!" were commonly heard phrases that day. William even told me that when I cheer for him, it makes the ball go straighter down the lane. So precious! I think we might have found a new family night activity. Good thing too, because movies are expensive!

Ice Skating

I'm so proud of my little guy. He's been wanting to try ice skating for weeks and we finally gave it a whirl. At first William was so excited and thought it was funny to be so wobbly on ice skates. But after one trip around the rink, he was done and ready to leave. At least he lasted that long. I'm glad he's brave enough to try new things. Maybe in a couple of years he'll be ready to try again. We live really close to the ice rink and when we pass it William says, "When I get bigger, then I can go there."

My Glory Days

I just got these clips from my aunt Kelly. I miss those days when our stake would put on huge musical productions. We had some very talented people involved. I know from the clips it seems that I'm the star, but it was my aunt's video taping of just my scenes. My best friend Melissa was the lead and I played her best friend in the show. Also, Sean had a part in the show as well. I can't point him out because all the guys had fake beards on. He may be the one in part one standing behind me during my solo! It was good times. I was seventeen, a senior in high school, and completely carefree. This brings back some great memories. Thanks, Kelly!
