Appreciating April

Easter in Wendell post-covid rocks. We got a haul. It was a beautiful day so we dyed eggs outside. Helped with the mess. I think I'll make it a thing.  For Relief Society we had rooms set up as a walk through Jesus life. Ending at the tomb with Mary grieving. After we watched a video clip.  "Jesus" suddenly appeared.  The adoration and love Sister Smith's face portrayed made the skit very powerful. 

Zara Boo is Two.  She loves playing in my makeup so she got her own "playset"  She also got baby shark undies which she wore and kept dry for 1 week before announcing in a complete sentence that she didn't want baby sharks only her diaper back.  She is very independent, resourceful and adorable.  Woke up one morning. No Zara.  Couldn't find her - no response.  Nearly called the cops. Finally found her in the baby chick house. Should have known. She loves her animals.  Everyone loves this baby goose, curls, zoo, can't believe my baby's two.   Also got new baby from Dimond on the 19th.   A colt named Swirl. 

Brendon's little sister Talise got married. While in Boise we picked up a few cabinets and got to see Cart and the kids.  Mace is really taking off with reading and loves ABC Ya online learning games.  Zara is happy when anyone will read to her and I'm excited/sad it doesn't always have to be me.  Katana was Super Excited to get her braces off.  I'm so glad we did them in phases.  Her smile looks so nice. I was tempted by Pintrest this month with an upcycle project.  Dad's shirt to Baby romper.  Next time I need to think bigger.  She'll only wear it once before it's too small.  Still cute.   Bit the Bullet and got a new vacuum. Splurged for a water filter Quantum X.  I was happy and disgusted that the old vacuum challenge was so successful.  I had to dump after almost every room.  

Ralayna participated in The Distinguished Women of  Mini Cassia County Competition.  Formerly known as Jr. Miss America Pageant.  She was amazing and beautiful and poise.  She was worried about her question and prayed to pull a certain one she had practiced.  She got it and crushed it. She also placed in Interview.   Her voice is outstanding so no surprise --she won Talent.    It was a total shock and surprise however when she was announced the OVERALL WINNER.  I think Trujillo actually swore.  A lot of fun, but a LOT of work ahead.  So glad we were able to support her.  Shout out to Preston for watching all the kids. Love you.
