What's happening in the Hood-

Well.... Spring is in the air! and

Mom has a bad cold. She is drinking a lot of hot lemon/honey tea. She is now the Jr. choristor in Primary. She is very happy about his.

Dad is getting moms cold. He swears by Zinc and vitamin C. He is busy at work and working hard to make things happen. He rides the bus to work some mornings ---and shares the car with mom in the afternoons. So far- so good on the one car family.

Bailey is home for Spring Break. She is THRILLED about going to the "Education without Borders" conference in Dubai. Has a dentist appointment and a list a mile long to do over Spring break.

Brynn just finished Parent -Teacher conferences. This makes her happy. She is growing her hair out and planning a quick trip with her sister-in laws to Arizona.

Samuel is very interested in BYU's Basketball team and Jimmer. He "walks" for graduation up in Rexburg next month. Yeah Samuel!

Bret graduated from his Apprentice Wildland Fire program (yeah Bret!) and is planning a snowmobile trip to West Yellowstone. He and E are also going on a climbing trip somewhere.

Erica is working days, loves climbing mountains and wants to "re-do" her backyard.

Lyvia is a famous snowman builder, has a chronic ear infection and is very excited for Amelia's birthday.

Amelia turns ONE with a family dinner and ice cream party. She is a red headed smiler and thinks only one nap a day is okay. (her mother begs to differ)

Bryttin is doing wonders in her new RS calling and thinks its time for everyone in her family to get healthy!!! She loves taking the girls on fun excursions to the zoo, children's museum and the library. How many books has she read so far this year?????

Jason is busy with a big job in Santiquin...scouting and of course- he is back on the basketball court. (Hmmm...how does the hand surgery hand feel about that?)

Life is good.

Thoughts for the day-

"Every moment is an opportunity for amazement."

"Giving is the secret of a healthy life-

not necessarily money, but whatever a man or woman has to give -encouragement, sympathy, understanding... love."
