April 2023

We watched General Conference and Kitty found out she loved sitting in the window well.

We received a lot of snow and had a 2-hour school delay on April 4!  We've been so grateful for the plentiful snow and rain we've had these past few months.

Emily took a sewing class. She loved the flamingo material.  We were disappointed that the pattern didn't turn out quite like we hoped.  It ended up being too short and the sleeves were too tight.  It's still cute, but just disappointing.

 

Emily did Utah Youth Tennis this spring.  It was her first time trying the sport.  She learned a lot and had fun.

 

My mom had purchased a whole bunch of Peeps of different flavors.  We tried them all out.  I think I like the good ol' originals best.

We tried a new egg-decorating technique.  We used whipped topping and food die.  The eggs turned out pretty cool!

 

Easter morning egg hunt

We made Resurrection Rolls for breakfast.  They didn't seal and the marshmallow kind of  ran out, but they were yummy!

Heading off to church on Easter Sunday

Our yummy Easter meal

Easter just happened to be Zelda's birthday (April 9), so we put up the birthday banner just like for every other birthday.  Zelda got presents and we had a cake in her honor.

 

 

I found this picture from Easter of my childhood.  I had a similar purple eyelet dress as Emily's and we had baby kittens.  I thought the similarities 40 + years later was fun.

A week later the snow was all gone.

We went to Cafe Rio on my birthday.

Since we'd just had Kitty's birthday cake 2 days earlier, I just went with an ice-cream cake for my birthay.


My students asked me to leave the classroom door unlocked on my birthday.  They decorated my desk with hearts and notes.

Tyler, Darrell and I went to Tyler's basketball banquet at Dave & Busters.

We took a Sunday walk over to our neighborhood park.

 

My parents came into town to watch Emily's tennis match.  The kids went swimming at their hotel pool.

Watching Emily

Derek and his family came over for dinner.  We had french bread pizzas.  Yum!

My mom gave us these snoballs and Emily helped me make them like we used to when I was little.  They look a little evil.

Darrell and I went to his work ball with the Unified Fire Authority.  We had a yummy cordon bleu meal.

There were a lot of pictures of Kitty this month. We just love her so much.
