Springtime Memories

Besides aforementioned birthdays and field trips, lots of playtime, naps and Arthur, this spring wasn't too eventful.

But there are some highlights of the past few months I don't want to forget:

-running/jogging our first 5K together in April around the beginnings of the new Kansas City temple--even with Mike not trained and me pregnant we made under 10 minute miles, so we were happy. Hopefully, it was the first of many!

-chaperoning the Stake Prom with Mike (also April), where I was both asked to dance and questioned when heading out to the parking lot unchaperoned...I'm guessing I won't get mistaken for a teenager much longer, so I am trying to enjoy it.

-my girls' concern, sympathy and occasional laughs from Kate at my morning sickness

-enjoying salad and green onions from our garden (and it looks like the zucchini, squash and tomatoes are about to really get going)

-singing for a funeral for an elderly man in our church--it was such a special experience and such a lovely song ("How Great Thou Art"). I am so grateful for opportunities like that (and so grateful for my sweet sister-in-law Nadine who brought her kids over and watched the girls so they had fun while I was gone).

-lazy Sunday nights--baking treats and sing-alongs with the girls (which sometimes turned into twirling sessions)

-watching and laughing at e-How episodes on the Blu-Ray with Mike--we now know more about gardening, relationships, babies and dating (though the dating advice is about five years too late). Favorite quote from "How to Make Someone Jealous": "Well, the first thing you have to ask yourself is, 'Why do I want to make this person jealous?' "
