It's that time of year again! The warmer weather has made outdoor activities more enjoyable, and we've been taking advantage of it. We took Lizzy to the park on Friday after dinner, and Lizzy went up and down the slide for the first time by herself. She was so proud and excited!

Perfect Spring Days

April Weather
The first day of April brought us beautiful spring weather. It was absolutely perfect, but perfect spring days in April never last long in Utah. Here is what it looked like two days later:


I personally like the occasional snow storm in April. I love the way the bright sun shines on the white glistening snow, making sparkles appear, and making the whole world outside seem like a bright fairyland. I love seeing bits of green and color poking through the snow. I especially love it when the trees are in full bloom and it snows. We still have a couple of more weeks before that happens.
So, I'm not complaining. Spring snow is my favorite snow.

The Highlight of My Day: March 2011
Something good happens each day. Here's what happened in March:
Tue 3/1/11: Lizzy and I had fun playing with our new puppy, Miko, outside in the front yard. Lizzy loves it when Miko chases her. So cute to watch!
Wed 3/2/11: I watched a movie today starring Gregory Peck. It was called "The Man with the Gray Flannel Suit." I thought it was a good movie, and I wouldn't mind seeing it again.
Thu 3/3/11: I helped Emma practice her spelling words tonight. She has improved so much! I'm so proud of her!
Fri 3/4/11: Brad and I had "Five Guys Burgers" for dinner, and watched the third Twilight movie, "Eclipse."
Sat 3/5/11: Lizzy and Miko had a fun time at Wheeler Farm today. Lizzy liked seeing all the animals and climbing up in the tree house.
Sun 3/6/11: I had a lovely weekend with Brad! He is the handsomest, sexist, loveliest, awesomest husband EVER! I love being his wife.
Mon 3/7/11: We watched "Shrek Forever After" tonight. Everyone enjoyed it, including Lizzy, who loved Puss-in-Boots, the baby dragon mutants, and the music.
Tue 3/8/11: I had a great time making Lizzy laugh to the "Open, Shut Them" song. She thought it was hilarious!
Wed 3/9/11: I went to my ward's Relief Society activity night at church. The theme was on the book "100 Dresses," by Eleanor Estes. I enjoyed getting some time away from home.
Thu 3/10/11: I have been reading "The Magician's and Mrs. Quent" for the second time. I remembered why I liked it so much! It's a good book.
Fri 3/11/11: Brad and I watched "The Karate Kid" starring Jackie Chan. It was a good movie!
Sun 3/13/11: Lizzy stayed for part of Nursery all by herself today! Yay Lizzy!
Mon 3/14/11: We cleaned up the living room for Family Home Evening tonight. It goes so much faster when every pitches in. Thanks to my family for helping me out!
Tue 3/15/11: I enjoyed getting out of the house tonight and spending time with ladies in my ward.
Wed 3/16/11: Candles and love songs... Brad is WONDERFUL!
Thu 3/17/11: No puppy accidents today or yesterday! That definitely made me happy.
Fri 3/18/11: I saw my little unborn baby for the first time today! I loved seeing his/her little heart fluttering on the ultrasound screen, and seeing little limbs moving. So sweet and precious! I'm excited to be a mom again!
Sat 3/19/11: All of us picked up my mom at the airport today and headed over to Murry for lunch at Woody's and a short visit to Wheeler Farm. We made a brief stop at Target where my mom bought a dress and doll stroller for Lizzy. In the evening we had dinner at Souper Salad and then we went to visit Aunt Marian's new foster puppies.
Sun 3/20/11: I loved having my mom come to church with me today! Lizzy looked so cute in her new pink dress.
Mon 3/21/11: We talked about fun activities we could do as a family for FHE. I liked hearing the kids ideas and their enthusiasm for spending more time as a family. After all, a family who plays together stays together!
Tue 3/22/11: I bought airline tickets for Brad, Lizzy, and I to go to Long Beach! I'll get to be with my mother on Mother's Day! So thrilled!
Wed 3/23/11: Lizzy loves to talk to her grandma on the phone. Every day she asks if she can call, "gramma." She's a cutie.
Thu 3/24/11: Emma had a sleepover with her girl cousins tonight, and for part of the fun we went over to Aunt Marian's house and played with her new foster puppies. Petunia is my favorite puppy, and so is Pepper. They are soooo cute!
Fri 3/25/11: Brad took off work today while the kids stayed home from school. It was as if we had a whole extra Saturday. FUN!
Sat 3/26/11: I did not feel well today, so I spent most of the day lying in bed reading The House on Durrow Street. It's the sequel to The Magicans and Mrs. Quent, which is one of my favorite books.
Sun 3/27/11: Lizzy and I stayed home from church. Brad came home feeling sick. I was relieved to hear that my symptoms were not pregnancy related, and instead I have a
virus, which means there's an end in the near future.
Mon 3/28/11: Lizzy took it upon herself to sort through my dirty laundry today. She had a lot to say about it, too: "Eww... gross!" "Oh man!" "Uck!" "Oh my goodness!" She made me laugh so much! Another highlight: We played Clue for FHE tonight, and Scott won!
Tue 3/29/11: Finished reading The House on Durrow Street. I loved it! Can't wait for the third book to come out.
Wed 3/30/11: Finally felt more like myself today! I was able to take Lizzy to the doctor and shop at Walmart without feeling too sick and tired. I bought a yummy three-cheese lasagna for dinner tonight and a chocolate cream pie on sale, which everybody loved!
Thu 3/31/11: I loved talking to my little sister and mama on the phone today. Most of our conversations included topics on pregnancy, food, marriage, babies, and Lizzy--- all my favorite subjects.
