Little Bit of Action at Work

Came back from work today with the road blocked off. Just to the right of that car is the exit of North Wall Schools. Apparently there was a 4-car crash while I was gone. The director of the school called 911, screaming and cussing from the victims was heard by the children who were outside at the time, jaws of life was used, news people were there. Needless to say there was some buzz around the school for several hours. It was great fun. For some odd reason I am attracted to destruction and near death experiences, but only if its other people involved. I was in heaven and couldn't stop watching out the window.

Random Note: Josh did a little service for a young women in the ward and participated in her blood drive for her personal progress. Two days later his arm looks like this. Ew.

Spring is finally here

Last week, snow. This week, 70s and 80s. Had to take advantage of it, because you never know if the snow will return soon.

Flying kites in the park.

Picnic at riverfront park.

Random guy at the park who was doing this move for like 15 minutes straight. We thought it was funny. Also saw a 60 year old with Jnco shorts, a walker, and holding a huge snake. I should have took a picture.

Easter

Easter Dinner, so yummy thanks to all the good cooks

The Baskets. We even hid eggs in the house on Sunday morning for each other.

Egg dying party on Friday.

The eggs. Notice the red one. Josh is very proud of it.

New Hair

While in CO my sister-in-law Lindsey cut and highlighted my hair. It was needed so bad and I am so lucky that she is willing to do my hair and is so great at it! Thanks Lindz :)

Conference

Watched it. Loved it. On Sunday we watched the first session at home, went to the Day's and ate lunch/played guitar hero for the break, then watched the last session at the Harris'. It was a good day.

Colorado

Had a great time in CO last week during my spring break. Flew in on mom's bday and when we got home Wally and fam were there already. I loved seeing everyone together on a time that wasn't a holiday. Sadie was as cute as ever, she is always talking and says funny things all the time.

Happy Bday Mom!

The girls (me, mom, lindz, sadie) went to the Children's Museum

We also went to the car show. Wally always went with dad when he was younger, he left on his mission and I got to go with dad. This time we all went together.

Truck I want to test drive:

Car I would like to own:

Car I would Never own:

Love Sadie's cute face

Car I'm convincing mom she needs to buy so I can drive it when I visit:

Fun Stuff

On Friday we went down to CD'A to the music walk. It wasn't quite what we thought. I thought it would be different bands and music along the main street but it was actually in art galleries and cafes. It was fun to look at the paintings and listen to different types of music though. I failed as a blogger and only took one picture, and it wasn't even of the actual activity, oops. But here is a picture of Rhett and Baby Summer walking to the next art gallery.

Saturday was craft night with the girls, and movie night for the boys. They watched Quantum of Solace while I made baby bows for a friend, Heather made cards and Britt made a book. It was fun, and it is always more fun making things when friends are around.

JOB!

Josh has been sending in resume after resume to law offices both here in Spokane and in CO for the past month. He got a call back yesterday from a law firm just a few blocks from Gonzaga. He will be doing a PAID internship there this summer. We are super excited because most first years don't get paid their first year but with Josh's ridiculously great skills he landed a job that's paid, woohoo! He will work about 20 hours and also be going to school and maybe doing an internship with the law clinic. SO although summer should be all about beaches and fun...i'm afraid it will be just as busy as the rest of the year. It will be nice to have a little extra income, mostly going to loans, but all the better for less to pay off after we are done! Good job Joshie!

Great Uncle Jerry 1934-2009

I may not have known you as good as I should, but I do know that you were loved and will be missed. You have lived in Roseville for 50 years plus. You were an honorable firefighter, church leader and family member. My dad tells me stories of when he was little and coming to see the fire trucks. You would even let him ride along sometimes. All the fire houses have their flag at half mast for you this week. I had my wedding shower at your house. I played with your grandchildren. When you and grandpa got weak you would walk around the park with your walkers together. I know you are free of pain now which is always a relief. I hope you had a good reunion with all of your family members. Say hi to grandpa for me.
