April 2014

Well look at that...I really haven't blogged since I got my new calling.  I sure miss being around the young women all the time but I absolutely LOVE being in relief society.  I have felt busy, but I definitely shouldn't be too busy to at least throw these pictures on here and journal a little bit. I can't decide what to do about the blog.   I really love the blog.  I haven't printed a book in so long, but I love that the girls love to get on the computer and not only see the pictures, but also read about all we have done.  I would much rather blog in real time instead of always trying to catch up.  I would be able to write more detail...and really talk about what we are up to.  For that reason I've wondered if the rest of 2014 would just be in folders on a computer while I start with a fresh 2015.  I don't know.  The other big question is always do I keep it public or make it private?  Oh decisions...but for now...I guess I'll continue on with April and see what progress I can make.

April always starts with General Conference weekend!!

This year a couple of our Texas cousins came to go to the Priesthood session so it was fun to see them!

Emily hadn't been to conference yet so we were finally able to get her some tickets so she could go!  She couldn't wait to see our Prophet, President Monson, and she was so excited when it was announced that she was going to be able to listen to President Uchtdorf in person.  The kids love him sooooo much!  It was fun for her to have Mom and Dad all to herself.  We walked around temple square and ran into one of Uncle Dale's friends from Idaho's Starlight Mountain Theater!  It was such a beautiful day and  a sweet time with Emily.  :)

NEXT...the biggest excitement of the month!!  BRACES!!  The girls couldn't wait!!  Here are some before pictures!

DURING (we sure love Dr. Watson...kinda helps that he's a Wyoming guy)

AND THEN.....2 HOURS AFTER!  He he he!!  :)  Not so happy now...but still as cute as ever!

And here are a bunch of random April pictures!  Not sure how many to post...but here it goes:

And last but not least, watching our favorite senior head off to prom!  I LOVE that I got to do Sadie's hair!  One of my favorite things to do!!  She was stunning!

So that wasn't as overwhelming as I thought.  I'm now into May...yay!!  :)
