Spring Break

By
 Ruth and Ellie
 Sheep cupcakes Lilly and I think Lucy made for Karen Gibson for her birthday
 They made the frosting, mixed up the cupcakes and made marshmallow fondant for the sheep and used pre- made eyes.
 The kids took turns on Monday night(the big girls) and Tuesday night (Daryl and Ruth) having sleepovers with Grandma and Grandpa Richins. The morning activity was visiting DI for new treasures. This horse was one Lilly found.
 Lilly has gotten a bit too big for the tractor but she had fun with her horse and it. they even made a little video of it "driving by itself."
 Daryl is really cute with Ellie and so is Roberta. They both loving on babies.
 We found out that my dad broke his leg from falling on a call he was on at work. It is right by his knee replacement and moved the replacement out from where it should be. He has to have a completely new one put in. That is going to happen May 2. It is going to be a long summer and recovery for him. 
 This was a moment of peace I had to capture with these three.
 My friend Brandy came over and we made a cake for her friend Chad for his birthday. It was a cherry chocolate cake with cream cheese frosting.
 Friday night the civilized kids had a sleepover at my sister Marian's house, with other cousins. Lucy, Lincoln and Lilly are in the above picture.
 The cousins and Uncle Wayne playing a Lego video game. 


 They also colored eggs for the Easter egg hunt the next day at Grandma and Grandpa Egberts.
 They said Lilly really really loved it.
 The other thing that happened over spring break was Glen tiled the shower. I feel like I should be shouting with joy for this but really I want a redo of spring break. It was basically the kids and me. Glen had to go in to the office Monday and Tuesday and then was consumed by tiling the shower. 
You know how there is a cost/ price to everything you do in life? Well I am still not sure that this shower was worth the cost in Glen's time, my sanity and no great family activities over spring break to the money we saved having him tile it and not someone we hired.  Such is life. Live and learn.
 He did a great job and it is beautiful.  He just has to seal it and tile the bathroom floor now.

Oh, I remember feeling the exact same way about a shower Alan did. So not worth it. The next tiling project after that was our last one because our neighbor said with a grin, "You know, Dr. Wimmer, I need some projects done. How much do you charge for tiling?!"

California here we come

By
July 15-19  Early Monday morning we went to the Provo airport to head to John Wayne airport then down to San Diego to celebrate Larry and Janene's 50th wedding anniversary. We met up with everyone but Josh and his girlfriend, Amberlee in Provo. They left earlier and drove so they could visit her family as well. My dad is a bit John Wayne fan so we had to take a picture with The Duke at his airport for him.  Once we had our luggage, rental van and food in our bellies we had to get sand between our toes and salt water at least on our feet. We ate at a fun little place in San Clemente called Cafe Rae. It was really little. Our group of nine took up about half their seats. It was really good food and they had great hospitality.  Our next stop was the USS Midway in San Diego. Larry had talked about visiting this and the Saint Mary for a long time. It was one of the main reasons we went to San Diego. It was nice to make it happen. I am not really in to military stuff but it was...

My cup with blessings overflows

By
 I am trying to get back in the habit of blogging. Before I go to bed, even though I should be in bed here are blessings from this week. I don’t know it I will remember them all there were so many.  Being home to attend church with our ward.  Talks from two sister in our ward, Louisa Jones who is a brand new young woman and Holly Draney who is the Primary President, on Sister Kristin Yee’s conference talk, that complimented each other well.  They reminded me that God is in the details and even when mistakes are made he can use it to help us learn and bless us. Louisa talked about how she was mad when her parents decided they should move a few years ago but Heavely Father has made it work out. Holly brought up the definitions of the words possibility and joy. She also talked about repairing quilts that had things happen to them. Also a talk from Matt Reeves about the power of the priesthood and how it has blessed his life and has preserved his life.  A great less...

Head to the hills- July 7-14

By
Good things from this week were- Getting dirt to fill the planter box Daryl made for Grandpa Richins. It’s ready for him to use now!  Getting ready for girls camp. Watching Lucy play volleyball in a tournament at UVU with high school team girls. It’s crazy that is her last one as a high school player.  Eating dinner on the roof and watching the sunset. Girls camp, even the one bad part.  Showering after girls camp Sunday dinner at Larry and Janene's and playing with the whip These cool plants were at the nursery we got soil from. I think I might want some in my yard.  Lucy played in a volleyball tournament at UVU with the high school team.  Lucy thought eating on the roof would be a good idea one night so we could watch the sunset better. She was right. Though Ruth but mostly Beth got pretty comfortable exploring up there. My mom safety barometer went quite high till they got down.  The Oquirrh Mountain temple fit right between the trees for a perfect view....
