So Little Time

I feel like the past few weeks have flown by. It's been crazy around here with Spring Break, the Pinewood Derby, and me having Sharing Time for the month of March. It seems like forever ago that I posted anything. Anyway, I did reach my first 20 lbs. last Wednesday and also found out I dropped my cholesterol 48 points. It is the first time in 7 years I have had good cholesterol and not borderline. I am keeping myself busy with working out, watching what I eat, and trying to take care of everything I need to do.

Two weekends ago my mom, sisters, and 2 nieces came for a visit. My cousin was having a bridal shower in Mesquite so they all came down a day early. We traveled to Zion National Park and went hiking. We also had to go through the tunnel. Katie says the only way to do that is to scream, honk, and holler. It was pretty entertaining. We were able to get two hikes in that day - Riverside Walk and Canyon Overlook. The kids did really well and we all had a great time. That night we went for frozen yogurt at Krave because I'd been telling them all about it. Cara and Kincade weren't down here for the hiking and missed the yogurt, but we had fun with them down here anyway. The bridal shower was Saturday morning. We got in some shopping before and after heading to Mesquite. They left Saturday night.




Brax was out for Spring Break after from that Friday until last Monday. It was fun, but very busy. On Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday my grandpa Cowley came down for water meetings and stayed with us. After dropping him off on Tuesday we headed out shopping. We also went swimming with some friends at the Washington City Rec Center. It was a lot of fun and the pool had quite a few things to do. Brax even went down the hydrotube about 7 times. It was shocking! We were able to get a few other things done that day before picking Grandpa up. We dropped him off Wednesday morning and then headed to Zion with Branden's brother Bryant and his little family. We got four hikes in that day and I could definitely feel it the next day. That night I had the Relief Society Birthday Party. Our friend Rhett also came to visit and spend the night. Thursday was the Pinewood Derby and nothing much else got done besides get ready for that. Brax raced a car for a friend who was out of town and had a great time. Friday morning Brax and I got up and headed for Venice and Glenwood. We had a fun visiting family and we both had a hard time leaving Sunday morning. While there we spent time chatting and I went to a Pampered Chef party. We had a little family party on Saturday night at my parents. We got up Sunday morning at 7 and headed home so I could give my sharing time. On Monday Brax and I just hung out and got laundry done. It was relaxing. On Tuesday of this week I helped in his classroom and went Visiting Teaching. Wednesday was Primary Presidency Meeting. Thursday I had Futsol, but I was sick and stayed home. Last night I went and played competitive volleyball. It was a lot of fun, but man am I sore. Today we had a futsol game. Branden went with the Scouts to pick up food. We did a little rearranging of the house and got my sharing time ready for tomorrow. Needless to say, we've been very busy and I look forward to a mostly calm week next week.

Busy.Busy.Busy. Don't you just love it? I'm so glad for Spring though, if it would just get here already!
I asked my kids what they learned in sharing time yesterday. They told me slow, fast and to slow down on candy. Did they get any of it right? It was funny how they said it. :)

That's pretty good! It was about following the prophet and how he can send us signs. Candy was an example, but at least they heard part of what I said. That's funny!
