April

Despite all are fun activities being canceled due to the covid 19 pandemic, we've had a fun month.  

Edgar is going stir crazy the most.  He's reach new heights in his mischiefs.  hehehhee 

The girls hit a growth spurt and we had to do some shopping.  I felt like a rebel for taking my girls shopping but what can you say.  we are rebel girls.  that's for sure.  We bought bras for both girls and celebrated with wendy's frosties. 

We've enjoyed a few backyard hotdogs and marshmallow roasts.   because why not.  The garden is coming together nicely.  James and worked hard to prep the ground and the kids have loved helping plant starts.

 I was invited to hike the Tetons with Laura and Grace and a few friends.  So in preparation I've been walking a lot more.  here's to nightly walks around the neighborhood, and quiet time to think.  It's been wonderful.

 The girls cleaned up the rabbit hutch and played olden time days.  They made aprons and knitted worry dolls. 

Since church has been canceled we've been enjoying home centered worship and have loved the opportunity to partake of the sacrament in our home.  On Sundays when Papa has to work we enjoy visiting at lunch.  I LOVE Sundays. 

Lucky us. right before covid hit the US we ordered tiny dinosaurs from Ali Express.  It took a month to have them delivered but they couldn't have come at a better time.  It was so great to get a package in the mail.  The new dinosaurs have provided hours of entertainment.  and a whole new level of Lego building.  We have our own Jurassic world 

Edgar and Everett have started playing with each other.  It's so fun to watch their relationship grow.  I was worried the age gap would be hard on them.  And for most of the time it is.  but it's nice to see them bonding too. 

 Easter was around the corner and I wanted a Christ center experience.  So I drove to Portland to pick up a few items from the Desert Bookstore.  We also stopped by Rebecca's house to meet her new chicks and to round around with cousins 6 ft apart.  hahhahaha  we also met up with the Frantz family to pick up Gwenevere's toothbrush and to see friends.  it's been so long.   Sarah Frantz told us about Wendy's having a free frosty with the purchase of a frosty keychain so we bought keychains for everyone.

When you wake up and all the kids and the cat are just hanging out on Everett's bed.

 Since school has been canceled, church canceled, gymnastics canceled, playdates canceled.  we've taken extra care to get outdoors and renew my soul.  Mt Pisgah hike and picnic dinner.  We wanted to watch the full moon rise but we missed it.  On the way home we saw the moon and it was BEAUTIFUL.

We are so excited for berry season

Naptime might be my favorite part of the day

 Gwenevere pulled out the sewing machine one day and asked to make stuffed animals.  She did all the work herself and sold 10 stuffed animals in her fundraising for Tara's Tabbies.
