Greetings everyone! This photo was taken the day or two before we moved from Lewiston under a blanket fort in our empty living room. I just thought it was a good picture of both Jeff and Calder with big smiles on. All is going fairly well here. A bit crazy but good none the less. We finally have nice couches! I will include more pictures below. We actually bought new couches during the President's Day weekend so things were on sale and we bargained too. So we got a really good deal but it still was a large purchase that freaked us out a little, but are so happy with them and know we couldn't have gotten a better deal.
We made a quick trip last weekend to Vancouver for Grandma Nona's memorial service and it was really nicely done. Good job Mom & Aunt Susan. Jeff even got off work to come! We will miss Grandma Nona but are glad that she can be relieved of her failing and frustrating mortal body and be with our Father in Heaven. We got to see our cousins Sasha & Collin and Sasha's baby girl, Devan, along with Aunt Susan. All of my siblings, their spouses and kids came too. It was a good time to come together. We are planning on an annual get together around February/March so that we see each other more often.
Here are some photos of our new couches and new apartment here in Utah.
So my sister in-law April made a post about her jelly bean trail and I forgot I hadn't posted any pictures of our Easter morning and our own jelly bean trail. Although the jelly beans aren't as enticing to our little family it may need to be converted from jelly beans to something else, like M&Ms or something.
We aren't that big on candy in our house either so there were a few things that weren't really a "traditional" basket filler. I got some new nail polish (thanks to Calder for picking out a pink one) and some new white church shoes, Jeff got a sweet topographic/trail map of the surrounding areas of Provo and a new book on summer camping/hiking, and Calder got a bucket, some extra special candy, a cheap wind up chicken and some new water color paints and brushes. We also got something that wasn't introduced to my childhood Easter basket until later but is a must have every year! The Reese's Pieces baggies that are filled to be shaped like carrots! Oh those are so good! I hardly got to eat mine because Jeff kept opening them for Calder and himself! I thought my candy guarding days were over after getting married, but I guess not.
