Happy Easter

Happy Easter to all- a little late. The Frier's had a good time celebrating. The kids spent time with their favorite friends playing with squirt guns, jumping on a trampoline, egg hunting in an orange grove, eating BBQd hot dogs. They had so much fun and were well tired out when we got home. So tired, we didn't have time to decorate eggs. it's a good thing I bought plastic ones. i filled them with their favorite snacks and they thought it was great. Noah and Daniel each got 2 hot wheels and a giant dinosaur coloring book. It was nice and simple and worked great.

Noah and Daniel have their share of times when they play so great together, but when they fight- boy do they fight! Noah is learning more about the alphabet. he is learning all about the sounds the letters make and is still learning how to write them. I am trying to do as many fun activities through out the week as I can. We just finished with the letter "B". We went to the bank, bought jelly beans, played some balloon games, got free after- Easter helium balloons, made bubble paintings, learned a ballon song, etc. Now we are going to start the letter "C". The fun things is Daniel is learning right by Noah and is picking up on the alphabet quickly.


Daniel started to say meal prayers and always wants to say the prayer. It's fun to see the boys fight over who will say the prayer. I have thought about reading the Children's Scripure stories with Noah earlier in the day. He keeps complaining of nightmares. We just got done reading about Alma and Amulek and how the Lamanites threw the people into the fire. Noah ahad a dream that night that Daniel was thrown into a fire. He was really upset about it. he loves to hear the scripture stories, though.

I swore we would never go to the Easter Pageant again. We had to go this year. We used it as a teaching tool for Noah. He wouldn't believe us that Jesus Christ lives. The Pageant helped him see that He does. It was fun seeing it through the eyes of our children.



Jodi is growing like a weed. She has her 9 month check up this week. The doctor will see a little girl who crawls fast, who stands and walks along furniture, who loves to bounce, who has 3 new teeth coming in. Jodi is so sweet and loveable. Everyone at church just thinks she is the cutest. Her little Easter dress was a big hit- thank you Grandma!!!

I am finding time to practice my flute, practice the piano for the organ, and prepare to teach Primary music on Sunday, and set up musical numbers for Sacrament meeting and other meetings, and have time to keep my house looking somewhat clean. No wonder I am so tired at night!
