A Post

Apparently there have been rumors floating around out there that I'm pregnant - since I haven't been blogging a lot lately.  I would just like to say that I am NOT pregnant. :)  I've just been a slacker on the blogging front.  I've been trying to balance everything I've been trying to do, and since blogging isn't a necessity (although it is something I want to do!), it has moved to the back burner.  What I want to do is maybe blog every week or week and a half or so.

So, here's what we've been up to since Valentine's Day.  I had a crazy month in February with Young Women's.  I put together an uplifting lesson about Jesus Christ for each day in March from the first Sunday (I taught the combined lesson that first Sunday) through Easter.  Hopefully it helped the girls have a more meaningful Easter, and draw closer to their Savior.  So, anyway, that took up a good portion of my time to get it ready.  Then I also had my lesson to prepare, and the Beehives were in charge of the combined mutual activity the first Wednesday of March.  So, the last couple weeks of February were a little crazy for me.  I made it through, though. :) 

Naomi turned one on the 17th.  I can't believe it's already been a whole year since she was born.  Time sure does fly, and she's getting big fast.  I know everyone says that, but they change so much in the first year!  I'll post pictures of her party.  We had that on the Saturday before Easter, which was also very nice.  I'll post pictures of that too.  We spent it with family, and Christopher loved searching for eggs and candy.  Naomi just loved putting anything she could find in her basket.  She's a collector, that one. :)

My family got to come and visit for a few days last week, which was a bunch of fun.  We spent a day in Dallas, went to parks, the Heard, played games, and had a lot of fun.  I wish they could have stayed for longer, but I'm glad they got to come.  (We missed you Jeff!)  They left Sunday night, which means they missed all the fun with the tornado warning on Monday afternoon.  Luckily our 72-hour kits were all ready to go, and I was ready with a bunch of blankets in the closet.  Crazy!  It was actually kind of scary - the siren at the elementary school went off, and it was raining and blowing like crazy.  At first the dish was out, so I couldn't even watch the news to see what was going on.  Luckily it came back on after a couple of minutes, and the funnel didn't ever touch down, so everything was okay.  A good test run, though. :)

Our recent fun was a surprise birthday party for my good friend, Melissa last night.  April fools!  We had a fun night at On The Border, with good Tex-Mex and great friends.  Holly spearheaded the operation, and did a great job inviting everyone and putting it together.  She posted about it, and put pictures up.  You can check them out here. 

So, that's my month in a nutshell.  I'll get those pictures posted too.
