Easter

It has been so nice having Terry home this past week. He had five days off of work and I loved having a second parent around. On Wednesday Terry let me have a day away so I went to Rexburg and got a haircut, had lunch with Suzette at Applebees and I spent some money on decorations at the Rod and Vinyl store which I really love. I loved the conference talk on learning how to live within your means and not always getting what you want. So that talk haunted me a little as I was buying these things we definately don't need, but I wanted. However I love the result. Here is a photo. I bought the frames on the wall and the shelf beneath the temple picture.



The picture doesn't show the ribbon that I have put up that connects the frames so they look like they are hanging from ribbon. But you get the gist of it all.

Friday was Terry's birthday. He spent most of the day looking for a new bike (he is training for a sprint triathalon and decided his mountain bike just doesn't quite cut it) and he went in to help in Abby's class. That evening we decided to do a family outing so we all went to Craigos for dinner. My controlling nature came out again and I was going crazy seeing my kids constantly getting up and down and going to the food. I wanted them stationary. But in spite of that they loved eating there.





After dinner we went over to the Holt Arena for the Dodge National Rodeo. We weren't sure how the kids would do, but they loved it. Abby decided she really wants to be "one of those girls who rides horses". Ainsley watched in shock and awe the whole time. She was totally sober while she watched with wide eyes, but she said she liked it. Sam ended up putting his head down on the concrete stairs and laying there for most of the time. The whole experience was fun although we were a little disappointed not a single bullrider stayed on long enough to get a score.




And here is our Easter photo.
