The Capital

On our way home from the zoo we stopped at the capital building. Even with the grey clouds in the sky it was a awesome site. The popcorn was popping on the trees which made it even more awesome. Then off to the Gateway Mall for some shopping! It was a long day!

Hoogle Zoo

We headed to the Hoogle Zoo. It was a beautiful day. Not too hot, not too cold. Kylee's friend Savannah went along. Samantha is down in Rocky Point Mexico with her friend Erika and her family till Saturday. We have surely missed her. We are sad to realize that Kylee is our baby and growing up so fast. Before we realize it Matt and I will be alone. Luckily we are crazy about each other!!!

Park City

So Matt planned a little getaway. It was the start of spring break and I told

him I thought spring break was spent with the children and he said no spring break

also means a break from the children. So he booked a room at this

Bed & Breakfast in Park City. It has just snowed the day before so

it was beautiful. We shopped at the outlet shops and then just

strolled down the main street of Park City. It was fun and

very restful. I hope to do it again.

Easter

What is sad is that this is the only picture I took on Easter Sunday.

This is Seth and Kathy. They came over for Easter dinner.

Matt's parents came over and my mom just stopped by on her

way to Jareds. We did the traditional Easter candy and one article of

clothing, but that was about it. It was just fun being together and playing

games. I need to be better.

Found This Pic

Found this photo when I was going through a few things.

Jared, Becky, Dad, Matt, Me and Lori. Fun in the white mountains.

Gannon's Birthday!

So we had everyone over for lunch inbetween the conference sessions on Sunday. It was also Gannon's birthday so we celebrated that as well. It was fun. I loved the Sunday morning session the best it was everything I needed. Elder Holland gave the best talk!

Grandma Ballard also handed out her Easter goodie bags which was a lot of fun. Gannon decided to strip down to nothing and then stood there while we all clapped and howled at him and then he peed on the floor. We all died laughing. It was a good day!

A Quote To Live By

“I don’t want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenk’s lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor’s children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone’s garden. I want to be there with children’s sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived.” -Marjorie Peay Hinckley
