spring has sprung!!

Well it seems like it is taking forever for spring to get here, but things have finally started to blossom and bloom.  I planted seeds - after reading in Alma about faith, I was using it as an object lesson with the kids - then the weather turned way cold and all the seedlings died.  I have not had seeds die in - well I don't think I ever had- so I had to change my object lesson from the positive - feed your testimony with light and your faith will grow to a tree - to look what happens when you feel the spirit and then don't follow it.  So now I have replanted my seeds and hopefully - object lesson aside - they will grow again.  We did have some warm weather over spring break and the kids got the telescope out a couple nights in a row.  Kyler placed his phone next to the eyepiece and shot this picture - pretty cool right.  It's awesome to see the craters on the moon.

Other things - Adderly has been doing volleyball - McKye played volleyball in gym and he wants to play recreational - I would like to join a league that plays on the beach in the summer.

We're settling in to spring - but I am hoping summer comes a little faster.  Seeing as the kids have school all the way into the end of June I guess it's good it's not too warm or we would all have spring fever and not want to focus on school.

Today being mother's day the kids made me the traditional breakfast in bed and they gave me a yoga ma6 carrier, I am so excited.  I need to get back into a few of my hobbies now that we have settled in here.  The kids are getting back into activities, and I am ready as well.

No major thought provoking ideas today just within everyone a happy Mother's day with a little peace and quiet.
