...we went for a walk with Grandma...and Marty. Rarely can we get the kids to just walk with us anymore. They take their scooters or wear their roller blades.
...we finished watching conference. I love Conference time of year. I'm so glad it comes around twice. I love listening, taking notes, and applying what I hear and feel. I am so thankful for a Living Prophets and Apostles, as well as other general church leaders, that guide and counsel us.
...we went to my mom's for part of Spring Break. I worked in the yard. Cherice came out and helped me rake and clean up debris. The kids played with Keaton and Rylan. Emma and Trenton brought load after load of bark to distribute around the garden. We got a lot of cleaning done. We played electronic monopoly. Cherice was converted to how much fun it is. The kiddos played Sheriff of Nottingham together, which was nice because then we didn't have to play it with them. They also spent a lot of time out on the trampoline.

...we went over to Kent and Julie's house to play with cousins. I didn't really feel bad inviting ourselves over to their house. Haha! Jason was sleeping because of night shift and so we got out of the house. You'd think that we get together with Kent and Julie and their kids quite often because we live so close, alas that is not always the case.
...we went to Palouse Falls. We also took Marty. I wasn't too happy at first, but he did very well. I was not thrilled with getting too close to the edge. Jason and the kids had no trouble with that. They crept right up close to look over at the falls. I stood back and inched forward. The kids would run back and forth on the paths. I would caution them to be careful.
"Emma! Stay back!"
...we went out for another walk. We like walks, and Marty likes walks. The blossoms on the trees were spectacular. We walked up and down Madison Avenue. There's a certain spot along the way where Marty rolls in the grass. It's the same spot every time. He sniffs it out and then rolls in it. Lainey wore her roller blades. Her and Benjamin were ready to head home before we were done with the walk. I caught this cute picture of Benjamin helping Lainey across the street. We have good kids!
...we went back to Kent and Julie's for ice cream and brownies. Yum! The kids played outside and we visited inside. It was the perfect party!
...we went to the Easter Breakfast and egg hunt at the church. The kids had a most wonderful time collecting eggs. I was visiting and didn't even go check on them. The eggs were set out in the primary room because the weather wasn't too good. The kids walked away with a ton of eggs and candy.
