I have SPRING FEVER... BAD!!!

I am getting SPRING FEVER... BAD!
This weather is just crappy. I thought that if I decorated for spring/Easter maybe that would help. SO here is my Christus Statue with Easter Egg Garland around him... cute.

I made this little sign tonight. I am pretty sure I LOVE IT!!!! It made me happy!

Here is my cute eggs hanging down from my kitchen light.

and My front entry... A pretty frightening bunny rabbit, a Happy Easter sign, a spring wreath and a cute picture of my kids in their Easter Clothes the year we moved in here.

I love Easter. I was able to teach the YW about Christ's last week of life last Sunday and about Easter. I have thought about my little to-do list each week. WOW! It seems so meaningless compared to the things that were on Christ's to-do list for not only his last week of life but every week of his life. He is amazing. I need to remember all that he went through for me and I won't be so "poor me" anymore. What an amazing man he is. I love this Gospel. I love that we can teach our Children of his life. I am so thankful for the atonement and Resurrection. I can't imagine where my life would be if I wasn't brought down this path. I am thankful for my own testimony and what I learn from the testimonies around me.

I love spring and it's new beginnings!

I am alive... really!

A few ups and downs of the last month...

• up - I just dropped off Alyssa for her first ever time going to the mall alone with a friend. Her and Kenadee decided to go and try on clothes and have a little lunch... with their own money. It was the cutest thing ever to hear them giggling and so excited all the way there. I can't believe she is growing up.
• up - I was able to leave for a warm little break with my Mom to go and visit my Grandpa, Grandma and Aunt & Uncle in Phoenix. It was so great to go there and see them. I really miss them. We stayed up late every night talking. It was fun to catch up with them.
  
• down - I have been super crabby and a little depressed lately. I am not sure if it is the weather, no money, just in a slump or a little of everything. I need to figure out something to mach me feel a little better. Any Ideas?
  
• up - Shawn and Alyssa tried out for the play "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" they both made a part of one of the kids that get a golden ticket. Shawn is Mike Teavee and Alyssa is Varuca Salt. Both of them get to act a little sassy and stuck up. I am excited for the show. It should be pretty cute. I will let everyone know when it is so you can bring your kids.
  
• up - Young Womens is so much fun. I love the girls. I love the leaders. What a great experience.
  
• up - The school play - the kids (Humpty/Alyssa, Piggy/Ashley, and Spider & Tech Crew/Cameron and all of the other school kids) DID an AMAZING JOB!!!! Chelby and Wendy were absolutely fabulous.
  
• down - THIS ECONOMY!!!!! Steve has been so dang freaking busy working his tail off and making NO MONEY!!! Yay!
• up - My friends.... I am just so dang lucky. You girls are so amazing. I watch the things that you do, the way that you raise your family, the way that you treat your husbands, the amazing things that you do everyday that I see when you think no one is watching. I love you all. I am lucky to have you.
  
• down - Weight Watchers - I am just not cut out for this skinny thing... I think full figure girl suits me better.
  
• up - Couples Bonko - I love everyone of you... I love the friendship that we share. We have been through SO MUCH together. I thank each and everyone of your and your husbands for the examples and all of the memories. I love you guys. I love all of the things that we have gone through to make us all closer. You guys make me happy.

So that is my post - I am sorry that I fell off the face of the earth. I just haven't felt up to blogging. My life seems just a little down right now. I will get better.
