Springtime! Sort of...

We got snow for a week! Actually, we have been getting about an inch of new snow each day. Snow, snow...go away! I'm ready for spring and I hate being cold all the time! Looking forward for the weather to warm up :)

Here what we have been doing in March/April...

Brady was called as a second counselor to the bishopric for Utah Valley Deaf Ward on March 21st. The bishop is Nathan VanDegraff (pictured in the middle) and the first counselor is Reid Simonsen (pictured on the left). I'm sure they'll make a great team and they have our support! It'll be a challenge for us, the family as well, with him not being home as much and not sitting with us during sacrament meetings. We'll be spending A LOT of our time for the church, with me being the Primary President and Brady being in the bishopric, but we both know that we are serving for the one we love, which is Jesus Christ.

Timothy's World Fair at school. Timothy and his partner, Brandon did "Japan" for the World's Fair. The reason he picked that one out because he wanted to learn more about the country and his grandfather will be taking him there this October for two weeks. Timmy is real excited about it.

I have been making tons of girlie dresses. They are for my two baby nieces and two of my friend's daughters. They sure look cute and I had fun making them. Let me know if you want me to make you some, I'd be more than happy to do it for free. Materials not included, sorry! :)

Brady had been working on finishing the arches for a week last month. The painter had just finished it just before Easter Sunday. It's been forever to get these done, we have been living in this house for 2 1/2 years! It looks so much better.

Easter Weekend-

Brady was ordained as a High Priest on April 2nd by his father, then we went to Lori's baby blessing for Gwen afterwards. It was beautiful. I need to steal a picture from Lori's blog as soon as she post hers, I had forgotten my camera. :)
UPDATE-here's the pic!

Next day, we watched the conference, then we went to Nick and Corie's for Easter Egg Hunt. Our boys had a great time. After the hunt, we also had another baby blessing for Corie's baby...Elizabeth. It was nice. All the boys, 12 and up went to the conference after the blessing.

Picture of us in our Easter outfits...I made these matching ties and a skirt.-
On Sunday, we watched conference and went over to my parents for the afternoon session. We had another Easter Egg Hunt at their house. They got some more yummy treats and other stuff.
