I'll try to catch up a little. It is spring break and right now all the kids are upstairs screaming (in the happy way) and playing. Not to sure how long that will last. So I thought I could read everone's blogs and post one myself. I got everyone's read but posting may be harder. (The screaming seems to be on the move.)
Last Saturday was my birthday. Jared suprised me with tickets to go watch the BYU Ballroom dancers. It was a lot of fun. I think he got a little bored about half way through. But he endured it with a smile. The best part was not only did he suprise me with that. He has also planned an 'actual' date one day a week for the next five months. He gave me a little calendar so I have can look forward to what is coming next. Way thoughtful, I was so suprised. He also made me my favorite cake---chocolate with 'sticky' frosting. In our 15 (almost) years of marriage he has never done that. It was such a nice suprise. He bragged about his frosting all day. He did so good it was a great day.
Friday we were able to go out with some friends to dinner and play games. It was so nice. I keep telling Jared we need to be better about calling people and getting together. I love hanging out with people and playing cards (or some other game). It is great for my sanity.
As much as I wish we were somewhere fun we are staying home this spring break so I have been trying to keep my children entertained. Monday of course was so easy it was beautiful outside. We went to the park and hung out. Until the kids thought they would die of heat (wimps) and we came home and they played in the water. We went from that to snow! Yesterday it snowed and snowed. How can you go from 80 degree weather to snow? You people in Arizona I am sure would have enjoyed the snow for a day.
Anyhow, I took the kids up to some museums at BYU. They were good sports about it even if they were bored. Today is an "unstructured" day as they tell us in Conference we should have. We will see how that goes. If I can escape the "I'm bored". I am hoping to hide somewhere and get some reading in.

Happy late birthday! I've got a big one coming up and I just want to ignore it. Your husband is such a good guy, sounded like a great day! Enjoy the snow, we're melting and blowing away here.
ReplyDeleteHAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TRICIA DEAR, HAPPY DAYS WILL COME TO YOU ALL YEAR. Can you tell that I'm really involved in my singing time calling. Well I'm sad that I really did not know it was your birthday. I use to look at the ward bulletin because it was totally in there. I am getting jipped here. Your spring break sounds great. Yes you do have to get better at playing games with people and getting together. Cause I totally want to be involved in that.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteSecond, can you please have Jared call Matt and share that 5 months of dates idea with Matt. Mother's Day is coming up! Sounds like it was a great b-day!
