FHE-Morgan style

The other night Morgan was in charge of the lesson for FHE. When I got home from work she told me that she had already prepared everything. She began by showing us pictures out of an old church manual-they were pictures of couples, temples, holding hands, rings. Then she showed pictures out of Steve & my wedding book. She then told us that there are two options when you get married. You can either get married at a church or at the temple. She said that the temple is the better choice because that way it is forever. Here is part of the conversation. Morgan: So what choice are you going to make? Me: Ummm...I'm already married. Morgan: I know but WHAT would you choose? Me: Well I got married in the temple. Morgan: Ok, but which choice would you make? Me: Uh, the temple? Morgan: Good! Later she decided it was time to wrap it up so she bore her testimony, saying that she knows that temples are true and she hopes that she will get married in the temple, and you too KOBY and you too MAYLEE! (talk about being challenged!) She did an amazing job as always! We learned a lot!

Easter, Spring break & the kitchen sink

It's been so long that since I posted anything so in order to catch up I will have to talk about everything AND the kitchen sink! So here we go with the marathon post.

Easter: we spent Easter weekend at my parents house in Monroe, we spent several hours helping my brother Rick with yard work, it was cold and snowy, the bunny found us and he wasn't mad that we ran out of time and didn't color the eggs, all 3 kids had a great time playing with plastic eggs. Koby throws them, Morgan organizes and Maylee dumps them everywhere. Morgan wanted us to take some pictures of her so I gave Koby the camera and asked him to do it since I was trying to put Maylee down for a nap. He sure got some random shots-but I think it was fun for them. This is one I took a bit later.

Spring Break: Koby and Morgan spent half of the week helping on the farm-which they love. Then Koby went camping with the scouts to San Rafael. I took a couple of days off so that Morgan, Maylee and I could spend some time together. We got to help Grandma Sharon make wedding decorations, play with cousins, go to our first yard sale of the year and deep clean the girls room. Morgan was in a huge remodeling funk so we changed a few things around in the play room and her room and got rid of a lot. The hardest part is that it went so fast!

Kitchen sink (AKA-everything else): A couple of weeks ago, Koby got a concussion during wrestling-a little scary but he is fine. He got a knee to his head and blacked out for a few seconds.I finally got to do some sleep training with Maylee. I am so happy that after 13 very long months-Maylee is finally sleeping through the night. I am finished breast feeding! I am so proud that I went a whole year with Maylee-we didn't have to buy any formula. I got flowers planted in front of my house. I painted an old dresser and converted it into a place to store toys. I read a lot of books. Steve has decided to transfer stores at work and will be working out of the Orem store starting on Monday. I think he is excited for the new challenge they really need his help there and they let him know that. I started indexing files recently and it's been kinda fun. Oh and Koby and I got to go and see the Hunger games finally. We had fun together and the movie was great!

I think that is most of the highlights. Hope that everyone is having a great spring!
