Request for Inside Pictures






Well, here they are...some pictures of the inside of our Motor Home!
I just need to make new curtains in the bedroom and I am through
shopping for the RV. Bob cleaned and cleaned all day Saturday.
He shampooed the carpets over and over. We will probably replace
it next year. I was having fun buying things for the kitchen and
bath. (Some of the things I shopped from my own kitchen!) I am not walking
really well so I would go to one store and come home and rest...then
go to another store...come home and rest...if you know me I "love"
to shop so that was very frustrating for me! So, April hasn't ended
so bad after all...

April is flying by...




Bob and I enjoyed the first weekend going to David and Julie's. Julie had classes and so David asked us to come up and help him with the girls. We enjoyed Conference as well as his family. Samantha is just a "doll"!!

We had David's family down on Saturday the day before Easter. Christy and family went snowboarding with Chris's family (probably more fun!) I had an Easter egg hunt for the girls in the house since we had rain all that week and the yard was wet.

I led my choir on Easter Sunday and then Bob and I headed for the airport. I flew in a week early for Angela's daughter, Alyssa's baptism. Bob joined us on Friday.
I was able to visit and go to lunch with Catherine, my sister on Monday. She was out attending meetings at BYU and helping her daughter make plans for June semester.

I went to see my parents for two days. I was able to take my Mother to the Doctor and play games with my Dad. They live with my sister and my other sister came by with her family for me to visit with. It was fun to see everyone! My parents also came up to Alyssa's baptism. My mother lead the music...how many children can say their Great Grandmother lead the music at their baptism? Bob was a witness and gave a pray. I played the piano and gave a talk on the Holy Ghost. It was a beautiful baptism. One picture is Alyssa with my parents...she is in her dress I made for her to be baptized in...the other picture with Bob and I is the dress for church. Angela is having her girls all wear the same baptism dress and so I just make one new one for each girl to have for church.

So, now I am getting ready for my piano recital that will be in our home on the 30th of April. I am excited for this year's theme..."Bach to Rock". I always have themes for my recitals. Since I only have 12 students they are playing a classical song and a rock and roll song. They are doing great!

I will try to put a picture on...(not sure really how to put in on in the place I want it) Bob got a dream last night he has wanted for a long time (no, his wife didn't get 30 years younger!!) We bought a motor home! We have been looking for 4 months for a trailer to pull behind our Ridgeline. And the light trailers are so small. Then we noticed on Craig's List that older motor homes were in the same price range. We would go see them and they were for the most part so trashed. BUT we saw one two days ago and it looked so good! It is a 31 ft. Winnebago....it has only 30,000 miles on it that impressed Bob. So now Bob has a project. He loves to fix things (not much to do really). And I can do new curtains and bed set. I guess if things get bad we can always live in it!!!!

So that is our April of 2009!

March Madness Over

I am glad it is April...it always starts with my Dad having his birthday on the
first day of the month! He turned 93 this year. It was sad that he couldn't really
hear me when I called him, but I was able to say "I love you!".

March ended with me sewing a flower girl dress for a friend's daughter and sewing a dress for our granddaughter's baptism. (which will be on the 18th of April) Bob and
I also got to go to San Francisco to pick up my Sister, Dottie and her husband that were on a 50 day cruise...that is right NO typo...5 0 days!!!! They cruised around South America. It sounded like so much fun and they did have fun!!

My mother wasn't feeling well this month and had an overnighter in the hospital. They changed her medicine and she seems to be a little better. So this made me realize how we won't have my parents forever on earth! So I am collecting pictures from family of my parents and David will show me how to do a slideshow! I figure it is better to work on it now than burn the midnight oil getting ready for a funeral. It has been fun going through pictures and seeing the ones that family has sent.

March is always a full month for birthdays for our family: my Sister, Catherine, and grandsons Tyler and Anthony, a daughter in law, Julie, and a granddaughter, Alyssa.

April then starts with my Dad, then grandsons Bryant and Brody, and a daughter in law, Vanessa.

I will be going to Utah on Easter night and staying for a week. Bob will join me on Friday the 17th and be there for the baptism of Alyssa. I am going early so I can see my parents and sisters as well as Angelas family.

March brought me a new level of pain with my leg. So I am having some tests done to see if it is anything besides my neuropathy going on....I hope I can find some relief soon!

March Madness is over....YAY!
