April and May

The month of April began with the Jackson's coming to Boise.  They came so Sophie could sign her letter of content to play basketball for the College of Idaho in Caldwell.  Some of us drove out to see her sign the letter.  Pretty exciting for Sophie and we are excited to have her so close to us!

The very next day, was Eliza's baptism.  It's been so fun having our cousins living in the same town and we loved celebrating Eliza on her big day! So proud of you, Eliza!!



Nathan was again asked to organize and put on an Easter Display at our community barn. He gathered art that depicted the life of Jesus Christ and he did a fabulous job!



They had an area where children could create art and Levi was thrilled that his art was also on display.




The Easter bunny came to our house and let lots of eggs full of treats!  We love the Easter season!








Our neighborhood had their annual Easter egg hunt and we loved that our cousins were able to come.






We spent many Friday evenings watching Benjamin and Levi play flag football.  This was Levi's first season and he did great!  Benjamin remembers every play and is a great player as well!



Sarah made a video and submitted it to local contest.  She made it into the top 10 and it was shown at the Overland Movie Theater.  It was a pretty big deal and we were super excited for her!  The really fun part of it, is that Levi was the only person in the video and so he got to see himself on the big screen.  Way to go, Sarah and Levi!!!  


Nathan and I went on a dreamy vacation to France.  He had served his mission there 27 years ago and hadn't been back.  We were able to see the new Paris France temple and so many other amazing sites.  A big blog post coming soon about our adventures in France!


I was able to go with Levi and his classmates to the Zoo.  Fun was had by all!






We got a call one Friday evening from Sarah that she had been in a car accident.  She had "hit" the sister missionaries as she accidentally drove through a stop sign.  Nathan went and got them all as their cars had to be towed.  Unfortunately, Sarah's car had to be totaled and Sister Rees got a concussion but overall, everything worked out fine.




Nathan with the help of the boys, did some yard work, including taking out this big bush and moving it to the side of the house.  There is always plenty of yard work to do in the Spring!





We went to several graduation parties...this was our only picture, but I think it's pretty cute!!




For Mother's day, we bought some chairs, a picnic table and a beautiful rug from Costco to put on our front porch.  We've been spending A LOT of time on our front porch and I'm loving it!!
Benjamin has practiced his recorder so much that he's the only one in all the school that passed off all of the songs.  His music teacher is super proud of him!!
