Spring Break


I didn't know that I would get to have spring breaks when I quit school--California beach, Disneyland, Clark County Fair, but nothing compares to time spent with family. It was wonderbar!

I flew into Las Vegas on Sat afternoon and Tami and Dillon and Garrett and Wyatt picked me up and we drove to Los Angeles. Whoooeeee! Two country girls in a truck that has a dirty windshield and blind spots on the side--Thanks to some expert coaching from Alysha we made it. Sunday we watched conference. This is the tree outside the window where I was supposed to be watching Conference. See the heart? See the 2 hearts??

That night we went on a hike. Wyatt held my hand and told me that he wanted a girlfriend like me--tough enough to go hiking with--see me flex and grin!!

Tami was sooo smart. She brought a red shirt for each of the boys--they say welcome to Las Vegas and have a Mickey Mouse on the front. It was easy to spot those little wiggle monkeys all day long.

We stood in line a LOT. We had some fantastic rides, and lots of family time. Kane and Alysha are awsome hosts.

That's Alysha--eating an utterly great corn dog--so
she says...

Tami took gate duty at the Fair so the rest of us could get in free. The boys had a friend (Morgan Aikele) who had a 4-H pig, so we went and watched that. Tami asked Dillon if he wanted to do a pig next year. "NO." So, we watched, and I told him how much money was to be made in this venture. When we left his Mom asked him again if he would like to do a pig-- "YES." Hmmm, I don't know if either of them is up to that project :).















I showed the boys a picture of a fruit bouquet. Then we went to the store and bought what we needed--I hadn't even noticed that there were chocolate bunnies in it, but they did. We had great fun putting it together, and even more fun eating it.

Now I'm back to work--and have lots of good memories. Love to all, Mom
