That's So Grose!

Wait. Isn't it May tomorrow?

Oh, yeah, I'm in Utah. No wonder it was 34 degrees on our ten miler this morning.

I totally cracked up when I saw Dave out mowing our lawn while it was snowing. hahaha

Soooo. . . I guess I get what I get and I can't throw a fit.

. . . at the old ball game.

Jud was so nice and gave us some tickets to see the Salt Lake Bees play against Fresno ? somethings (I can't remember).

Talk about nice seats. Three rows above the roof of the dugout. Nice.

It kind of stunk that the Bees lost. But it was a fun night out with my boys.

My mom and dad are such a good sports to have Easter dinner and the egg hunt at their house every year. We had more food than you can imagine. There were about 40 of us there. It was kinda funny, but not one of the kids had brought their Easter baskets for the egg hunt. So grocery bags had to do. They were also in various outfits, most of which were not their Easter outfits, including one kid (Logan) in jammies.

These were the kids who participated. The older teens opted out this year, with the exception of Hannah, who always helps the little ones. I am the only sibling with grandkids so far. None of my own kids are young enough to do it anymore.

It's actually kind of nice to be the grandma instead of the mom. I didn't have to be there for the extreme sugar high or the crash afterwards. hahaha

Easter

I wanted to give the grandkids something meaningful for Easter. I remembered how one of the talks in General Conference encouraged children to have a picture of the temple in their room. So I got pictures of the temple from the distribution center. I chose for each child a picture of the temple where his/her parents were married. Then I matted them and decorated the mattes to match their room.

I also filled baskets with some fun outdoor toys - bug catchers and holders, buckets, shovels, etc. along with a little candy. Dave and I took them around to the grandkids Saturday afternoon.
