Welcome to April!!!

April in the Midwest! I have been looking forward to the spring and the warmer days and rain! (0:
Well, last night we got some snow and I had to scrape the windshield this morning to take Sarah to school.
I guess that is how is goes!
We have been doing new things this spring.
A new thing at our house is side ponytails! The girls hair is just about long enough to put in side ponytails, so we do it sometimes! I do it with my hair, too and the girls love it! What is it about 80's hair? I love it! So much fun!
Girls with side ponytails!
Richard and I went to see the movie "Monsters vs. Aliens" with Sarah and Rachel and their friend Naya and her dad Keven! It was so fun to go out and laugh in the theater!

Rachel, Naya and Sarah hanging out!!!

Other things going on with us... We decided to move all 3 girls into one room so that Richard could have a good, quiet place to study at home.

I was kind of worried and nervous but the girls LOVE it! Sarah and Rachel are so kind and sweet with Emma and they are learning to get a long better and not fight so much. There is a set of bunk beds, a daybed, 3 dressers and a bookshelf in about a 10'x12' room. I can't believe it all fits!!!

(There will be a picture here asap of the new room....)

And Richard has a place to study! He studies on campus a ton. He leaves the house about 7 am and is home about 5pm and then he studies after the girls go to bed. Just like we expected! Lots of studying!

Richard had his first test today and feels ok about it! We will know better tomorrow when the teacher posts the grades! He has 2 other tests this week and at least one a week for the rest of his life, er, the trimester. Keep him in your prayers!

I am working on my sewing and made a dress for Sarah. I want to finish Rachel and Emma's and then I will put a picture up. An awesome chick in my ward is a super sew-er and was so nice to help me!

And we had our first General Conference out of Utah. We gathered around the computer (glad we bought a good size screen) and listened and learned! It was so awesome to be so Spiritually Fed! I love conference! I learn so much and I am ready to work hard and move forward. So grateful to be able to hear the Prophets voice! We are very blessed!

I totally rocked the side ponytail in my day. I even have it in one of my school pictures. I was actually thinking about doing the good early nineties bangs the other day just for fun. And if it makes you feel better we have had snow and frost on our windshields a few times this month in Utah too.

Love you to pieces.

Wait to go sewing! My favorite dresses when I was a kid were the ones my mom made!

I am loving the pony tails :). My kids have been begging me to take them to Monsters vs Aliens. Unfortunately for them I am just too cheap!

I love side pony tails! Also I loved the conference. I feel like each time it's getting better and better. Because I don't have all the wisdom, I feel so blessed to hear the talks.

I can't believe that this was your first conference out of Utah. So jealous. We also have all 3 girls in one room and it's awesome. It's probably their best bonding time. So fun.

I feel for you and Richard. I know how hard school can be with little ones. I will pray the Lord will continue to bless him on his tests. You are amazing. If you ever get out this way we need to get together. Although, with free flights maybe I should fly out to see you for a day! Love ya!
