"If you are still in the process of raising children, be aware that the tiny fingerprints that show up on almost every newly cleaned surface, the toys scattered about the house, the piles and piles of laundry to be tackled will disappear all too soon and that you will -- to your surprise -- miss them profoundly."

--Thomas S. Monson, 2009

Easter and Swimming lessons for Olivia


We had a super low key Easter this year.  Here are the girls with their goodies from Nana and Grandpa.  We hid them and they had to find them.


Olivia passed her Salamander swimming level this Spring!  It was fun to take her in the mornings out to the pool in Beaumont before preschool. She would always say to me, "I hate putting my face in the water, but I do it because my teacher told me to." By the end she was ok with it.  She is getting closer and closer to swimming on her own.



The pool she went to is actually just across the street from the new chapel our ward will attend soon. They had recently put on the new steeple when I took this photo.  It is a beautiful building with arched windows.  The bright white steeple stands out a mile away!
