Spring Fever

With the weather threatening to hit the 70s spring fever is in full bloom here. I was able to get out and get started on some much needed yard work yesterday. I was so excited about getting everything done that I lay awake half the night trying to figure out ways to get things done and fit it into my schedule. Silly, I know. I planted some bulbs last fall and am proud to say that I am seeing the sprouts coming up. I noticed other peoples bulbs coming up and was sure that I planted 40 duds but lo and behold when I went to check it out they are coming up. When the flowers get some blooms I will take pictures. I am hoping this will be the summer of finishing our yard...

We had a great Easter weekend. My little sister Emily and her husband Levi graduated from BYU-I. Congratulations again you two!


We had a lot of family here for the weekend. It was fun as always to see everyone. Grandma and Grandpa Roundy even made it up.


After the festivities died out Emily and Levi took off to move to Utah for the summer and then off to Virginia in the fall. At one point I had four other brothers and sisters living in the Rexburg area. We are dwindling down to two. Thank goodness for Pete & Heidi!

My mom and little sister Tamy stayed for a couple of days after the graduation to hang out and help me with a project. My quiet book. I have been slowly accumulating ideas, fabric scraps and buttons but never quite made the leap to starting this book. Maybe I just need my mom to get me started. It was a lot of fun to hang out with them. These are the pages that we got done.



There are still more to come and it is my intention to get it done soon. (Luke is getting down right unruly during church!) Tamy stayed busy making flower clips for Heidi's baby's hair... and lets be honest the majority were for her hair.

After they left, it took me a couple of days to get back into the swing of things. Isn't that how it is? Between getting taxes done, teaching CPR classes, and getting payroll out the rest of the week flew by. Here it is Sunday night and I am not quite sure I am ready for the whirlwind of the week to start again. I keep thinking there are two tactics to deal with this... ONE: get a jump on "to do" lists and projects or TWO: do nothing productive so that maybe tomorrow you will be ready to get moving. More often than not option two wins out. So here's to hoping that was the way to go!
