The first weekend in April is always General Conference. While Nathan and most of the Christiansens were attending that, Andersons were near Oklahoma City for regional gymnastics meet. We were home in front of our TV 😉 In fact after my grocery shopping trip on Friday afternoon, I wasn't planning to go anywhere until maybe Monday, and more like Tuesday morning. Sometimes, it is good to have a break from our normal weekend routine. PS- Eli qualified to go to a national meet.
Right after St.Patricks day, I was ready to move on to Easter ;) Here is my "stuff"- lol Carrots and bunnies and eggs.
Here are a few of my favorite thoughts that I have been gathering up... mostly from Facebook.
3 brief updates from the Simms. Savannah didn't have a great start to 2025. In January she went to the ER with a rotavirus. Then 10 days later, she was well enough to go on a back packing trip with Alex. Then by Feb.18th, she had to go back to the ER. Owen had to carry her out to the car, because she was too weak to walk on her own. They did tons of tests and medications for 4 nights and 5 days and never came up with any reason for her pain and weakness. When she finally was well enough to go home, it was still another two weeks of weakness and needing help to do everyday things. Annie stayed there at the hospital with her the entire time, helping her and watching all of the various procedures. That had to be very frustrating to come back home with no answers.
Owen has been playing volleyball and doing well. Elder Simms has been doing well on his mission.

Our neighbor had time to work on Ron's new flower garden in our front yard. Ron planted tons of flower seeds there. It will be interesting to see what grows. We also have new yard lights around the two trees and in the flower bed. So far, much better than the overgrown bushes that were there. Ready for SPRING.
For Eli's birthday dinner, he wanted pie. So, I made one regular pie and one small pie, just for him. I had to shop around to find a "pie dish" for that. I finally bought a set of Corell dishes from Target. They were the perfect size and the pie baked well in that. We also met Andersons at a Carabbas for dinner on Saturday evening. Sunday dinner was at Petes. Eli's birthday snuck up on me. I didn't plan ahead very well for it. It wasn't until I changed my calendar from February to March, that I realized it was his birthday.
