Amazing Week

We had such a fun week! We had soccer games, rugby games, Adam and Lisa's kids, preschool field trip, Easter egg coloring at Grandma's, Spencer's field trip, Ila's birthday, Jared's birthday and Easter egg hunts and Young Women General broadcast! It was such a fun and crazy week that I don't even know where to start! Landon had his first competition soccer game on Tuesday. After he left for school, I walked in his room and saw his clothes all laying out. I thought it was so cute! He did an awesome job at his game. I forgot the camera! Adam and Lisa went to Hawaii, so their kids were able to come and stay with us. What a blessing! We had so much fun with them. I loved having Ila with me everywhere I go. Who knew that I would like hanging out with a little girl! Spencer and Brigham got along perfectly and Avram was an angel and helped me with whatever I asked. They got to go on my preschool field trip while my other kids were at school. We colored Easter eggs at Grandma's house. Unfortunately, I didn't get any more pictures than this. Jared got his braces off and turned 11. He is such an important part of our family. He is so smart and witty and funny! He keeps Chad and I on our toes and rolling with laughter. He loves to read at night when he goes to bed. He loves video games and likes to go long boarding with Kyle. He helps Spencer at night if he is scared He is sensitive and nice to his friends and those around him that might not have a friend. He has a best friend named Ben that he is trying to share his testimony with. I am so proud of him! We had this sweetest little thing for her birthday. Adam and Lisa had already celebrated her birthday before they left. So, we just made brownies and she opened one present from us. She was an absolute joy to have around! We took her on bike rides and learned she is absolutely terrified of bees. Who knew that I would love a little girl around me! I almost cried when they left yesterday! We had our annual neighborhood Easter egg Hunt and Mark and Monica Richards house. This year we had a brunch afterwards. It was a lot of fun! Kyle has been wanting to play Rugby since last year. We said no last year, but when it came up again we thought we had better let him try it out. It is the most expensive sport we have let him play, so we made him pay for half of it. He has loved the practices and we wondered how he would like the games. I wasn't able to go (because of the million kids here), but Chad went and thought he did good and Kyle had a great time! I have a hard time watching wrestling, because I don't like watching my kids in pain. After seeing these pictures, I hope I don't feel the same way about Rugby! Saturday night was the General Young Women broadcast. We decided to ask if we could watch it in the Cultural Hall, so that we could set up a popcorn buffet and let the girls and their mom's have a treat while they watched. I thought the popcorn bar turned out darling and it seemed like everyone that came loved it! Hooray! I am so thankful for this week. It was busy, but I loved it!
