Crazy Weather

It is snowing as I type and yes it is May 1st. The weather sure has been crazy lately! Monday was beautiful and 75 and this morning we woke up to light snow on the ground and it has been snowing ever since. We haven't started working in our garden because of the crazy weather. Hopefully by Mother's Day we will be able to plant a few things.

Life

We have been busy lately. We went as a family ( something that doesn't happen very often) to our Scout Dinner/Auction Friday night. We had a good time. Tyler bid on an hour flight around the area with a pilot in our ward. He and another ward member both wanted this so the bodding went right up until the last second. Tyler won and is excited about that. Trey has a scout campout at Antelope Island this weekend. Trevor is getting ready for the Chalk Art Festival in Bountiful next month. He is trying to decide what he is going to draw. Our driveway should look very colorful for the next few weeks as he pracitices and decides what he will do next month. I will have to take pictures so you can see what it looks like.

American Idol

Ok I can't believe I am even going to blog about this, but did you see the show last night!? I love Andrew Lloyd Webber and they sang his songs. David A. did such a GREAT job! I loved it. I don't download music, but I would download his song in a second! I hate to admit I think Brooke might be going home. I think she is great but having to restart your song on live TV just doesn't go over well. I even enjoyed David Cook's song up until the last few notes.

Trey is 13!

Today is Trey's birthday. I am now the Mother of 3 teenagers! I tried to talk Trey out of his birthday this year but he wouldn't hear of it. We are going to celebrate this weekend and he will have his friends over for a party. I am so proud of Trey and all he does. He has been serving in the deacon's quorum and setting a good example for the other boys in the ward. He works very hard at his school work and takes pride in his assignments. He has so many friends and is a good friend to all of them. It's fun (even though I am sad about it) to watch him grow up.

Spring Snow

We woke up this morning to snow on the ground. I guess the forecasters were right. My sister and her kids are driving in from California so I hope the weather warms up some. Friday night Paul, Trey, Trevor, My Mom and I went to see the play Big River at RMT. My Mom bought tickets and treated us to a night of fun. I was surprised to hear that even the boys enjoyed it.
Trey had a bunch of friends over for most of the day Saturday. Then about 6:30 the girls showed up and they watched a movie. From the sounds of it they all had a good time. Trevor spent time with a friend Saturday at the mall and then they went to see a movie.

This week should be a fun filled family week. I love it when my sister's come to visit!

Long Easter Weekend

What a fun weekend! On Friday night Trey and his cousins went to Grandpa and Grandma Johnson's house for a sleep over. Then on Saturday we all went to Becky and Nick's house for the Johnson family Easter dinner. Becky's house is decorated so cute! It made me want to break out the paint cans in my own house. Trey participated in the egg hunt and had a great time. It was fun to visit with everyone and enjoy the family time. On Sunday Michelle and her family and my Mom came over for dinner. We enjoyed eating and visiting. I made a ham for the first time and I can't believe how easy it was. Where have I been all these years? The weather sure has been nice the weekend and we have had the windows open as much as we possibly can.

More Snow

It has been such nice weather lately. There have been days I have come home from work and opened the windows. We are all so ready for spring! We were enjoying all the nice weather and then Saturday afternoon it had to snow. We got about two inches again.

Yesterday we got a few things done and enjoyed spending time with Trevor. We don't usually get to see him on Saturday because he is with his friends, so we really enjoyed a few hours with him. Trey was over a friends house most of the day Saturday and had a great time.

Tyler had a hockey game Thursday night. His games start at 9: 15 or later, so I don't usually go. I guess this game got a bit out of hand and Tyler took a pretty good hit to his chest. He couldn't get up off the ice and he was having trouble breathing from the hit. The paramedics were called and came to take Tyler off the ice. He told them he didn't want to leave the ice on a back board and guess what? Since he is 18 he can make that choice! So Paul took Tyler to the ER and Kristin came to pick me up. They did an EKG and Xray and found that he seperated his sternum from his ribs. There isn't anything that can be done to help it heal and they told him he would be sore for about 6-8 weeks. We got home from the ER at 1 AM on Friday morning. He took Friday off work and went to work Saturday for half of the day.

Last night I went to see Civil War with my Mom and Michelle at Hale Theater. It was so good. I really enjoyed it. The music and the story were touching. In April we want to go see Annie Get Your Gun. I think Trey would like to see that one with us.
