Big Box = Fort

Our family has literally spent each dry moment of the month of May in our backyard. The boys playing, riding bikes, jumping off of things and Marta and I working on the new backyard plan. We've made a ton of progress and are now finally starting to feel like we're getting there.

We got a new grill as part of it all which means a big box that - even before the grill was unpacked - was earmarked as a fort. Next came the creation of windows, escape hatches, weapon holders, and who knows what else. Hours of entertainment in a box.

Easter Sunday

It had been a while since I pulled photos off the camera and when I did it I came across some shots from Easter that I had forgotten about.

Easter Sunday was a big deal for us this year. We worked with Beau all week practicing and he gave his first Sacrament Meeting talk all by himself. He did awesome! As he moved from page 1 to 2 he gave a kind of dramatic ruffle of the papers that was pretty impressive. It cracked me up.

Growing up it doesn't seem like we had a ton of traditions, but one we did have was that we always had a lamb cake each Easter. The tradition lives on.

It's finally that time of year!
