Spring Break and other fun days

I told you March is great, even though it is still cold outside, I smiled every time I looked at the daffodils, every time I realized it was 7:00 pm and still light outside and having time off for Spring Break.

I had a very relaxing three days at home doing things like going to the store when ever I wanted all by myself, watching a few movies and doing a little cleaning but I am conditioned to being gone for Spring Break so I was anxious to get on the move. Bruce started a project in the bathroom which is coming along nicely and that kept him busy while I was gone.

Thursday I took the commuter train from Eugene to Seattle which is an improvement on the coastal starlight FOR SURE ( the guy sitting behind me said, "for sure" a million times all the way to Tacoma.) Annoying!!! It was fun to sit and read my book and not have to deal with traffic. Bruce drove up on Saturday and we came home together on Sunday, I talked on the phone and let him deal with traffic. It was so fun to spend time with Darren, Jill, Joseph and Justin. Those boys are so fun and cute, you'll see from the photos below, it's hard to leave them.

Sunday was a special day as Bruce had the priviledge of ordaining Darren a High Priest and he was sustained and set apart as 2nd counselor in their bishopric.


I got to play legos with both sets of grandsons this month. They mostly want to build towers.



It was so fun to go with Joseph to swimming lessons and pre school. He liked the hot tub better than the actual pool and his pre school is adorable, I truly would love to hand out there. I had a flash back of when I took Bethany to her pre school which feels like yesterday and she will be 14 in ten days. Scary thought!
Earlier in the month we got to spend a night with Marc, Connie, Kellen and Caleb. Kellen played his little heart out at his soccer game which they won 4-0, Dad was the only one keeping score.
We were blessed to be with Stephanie and Andrew when the went to the temple together on March 7th. He is leaving next week for his mission to Hungry and she will marry Jarom Lance on April 17.

How fun for you to get to see so many grandkids! Seriously, being a grandparent has got to be the best.

That's such a cute picture of all of your girls too. I can't believe you have NO BOYS!

Well, I'm excited to get there...are there any daffodils left?

I am begging them to stay until you arrive.

I agree March was great, but how did Spring Break go so fast?? Cute pictures of all your boys--Lego towers are always a hit.

Thanks for suffering through the frustration of posting picture and putting all of those up, because I love them! I always get so jealous when you're off doing those fun things, so I love to see the pictures.

Next big adventure... GRADUATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait! see you soon!

Great post and great pictures. (Can I have the ones you posted?) What a fun March you had.

How funny that you built two sets of lego towers. Kellen and Caleb look huge!

What a beautiful family! You all look so happy!

I wanted to let you know about Mr. Siegle's "retirement bash." Jenny probably already told you, but May 1st he's inviting SHS alumni, friends and family to SHS's musical, Darn Yankees, to say thank you to everyone. It's free. I know you have been very supportive of SHS theater, specifically with Jenny and Melanie. It would be great to see you there. Let Melanie know too, and anyone else you know that may be interested. Take care, and hope to see you soon.
