Deep Thoughts

"Great things are brought about and burdens lightened through the efforts of many hands “anxiously engaged in a good cause.” Imagine what the millions of Latter-day Saints could accomplish in the world if we functioned like a beehive in our focused, concentrated commitment to the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ." M. Russell Ballard October 2012 General Conference

Spring Break

Spring Break started the Saturday of the fair so officially it didn't start for us until the Monday after the fair was over.  We took a mini vacay to Tahiti Village, our favorite place to stay in Vegas.  After stopping for dinner at Outback-where Caleb dumped his entire soda in his lap-we went to our hotel.  We love to stay at Tahiti Village.  The rooms are clean and there is not a casino on site so they don't smell like smoke.  It is pretty family friendly and the pool is super nice.  We also can get a room that has a bedroom with a door that closes off the family room area so that I can get Kyle to bed.  There is a little kitchenette too so we have a fridge and a microwave and even a few dishes.  We stayed there for 3 nights and went to the pool and laid around and ate junk food.  We went to Baskin Robbins every night and ate way too much ice cream.  Don and Caleb went to a Pho noodle house in Mandalay Bay and then the next night Don and I went to a Mexican restaurant in Mandalay Bay.  The boys were content to order food from the pool restaurant or the Denny's that was on site.  Kyle loved the sand and all the toys that they have there to play with.  Caleb played water volleyball for hours and hours.  It was a nice relaxing few days.



On Friday and Saturday we did a lot of yard work.  The spring around here means lots and lots of weeds.  The front yard was terrible.   We replaced a few plants that had died over the summer and pulled and sprayed lots and lots of weeds.  It looked so much better after many hours of work.  Kyle enjoyed the water on the sidewalk.

Saturday night we had a hot dog and smore roast with our friends the Turners.  Don and Caleb played football with all the boys.  Cayden and Dallin played Legos.
