Easter 2009



This was our Easter.  The kids decorated eggs after church. We then invited the Dedmone family from across the street to our house for ham, potatoes, asparagus, pineapple, homemade rolls & apple crisp. The Dedmones stayed for a long while so we had a good visit.

Sun in the eyes and wind in the face doesn’t make certain people very happy. But really, we were joyful and looking forward to the candy at home…

Timothy and Daniel sang and Paige accompanied them on the piano for sacrament meeting. They did great! It was the last musical number that I assigned in my previous calling. I was a nervous wreck, hoping the short song would be “enough” to satisfy the heavy expectations for an Easter song. I started to get teary when the first person complimented the kids, I was so relieved! As church progressed, Richard and I received so many compliments that I think I’ll turn over doing music in church entirely to my kids. It’s a lot less work for me but I still get all the glory.

A Musical



I was part of the Ten Virgins musical program for Relief Society Enrichment in March. Each of us sang a solo. Wow, these ladies were amazing! People generally said to me, “I didn’t know you could sing.” Well, I am not sure I can take any credit for that. I was trying to channel my sister Sarah’s talents and confidence all night.

I made my own costume from a $5 bed sheet set from Wal-Mart and using a children’s pattern I got free from a yard sale. The whole thing was a triumph. Truly. But who can I tell about it but my silly little blog?
