A few days ago I suggested that Adria say her own prayer for her lunch without any help. She was very excited to do so and went right ahead. When she finished I ran and wrote it down.
So this is her first unassisted prayer:
Hebenly Fada,
Bless for dis food.
Bless we can be safe.
Bless Daddy can be safe on da boat all day.
In name Jesus Christ, A-men.
Then she triumphantly looked up to me for approval.
Very sweet. :o)

Adria's First Talk
On Easter Sunday Adria gave her first talk. I was sad that Jeff wasn't around. It is his job to write the kid's talks. Again, we managed.
She was excited and very sweet.
This was her talk:
On Easter Sunday we remember the things Jesus did for us.
Jesus is my brother. Jesus loves me.
He lived on Earth just like us.
He set an example for us.
He was baptized like we need to be.
He healed the sick.
He taught the people.
He blessed the children.
He testified of Heavenly Father.
Jesus chose to suffer and die for me.
Jesus did everything he needed to do so I can live with my family in Heaven with Him and Heavenly Father someday. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Easter Weekend
We had a great weekend celebrating Easter. It isn't the easiest thing pulling off Holidays without a second parent around, but we managed.
This is the ward egg hunt. Andrew never stopped running.
Our Beautiful Eggs. There is dye, tattoos, stickers, paint and glitter.
We went to Genella's house to color eggs together. I wasn't watching Adria very closely and these are the shoes she put on to go. A ballet type slipper and Andrew's flip flop. Oooops.
Then Easter Sunday. We had a little egg hunt in Grandma's front yard then brunch. It was a lot of fun to be together. Although, we did miss Daddy a lot.

Spring Break
Okay. So this is a lot bit late. Not sure what my problem is. I guess I just go in cycles of wanting to post and hating to post. But I'm back after some friendly nudging from friends. :o)
We watched "Bedtime Stories" before bed.
Gotta love the wildlife. We also saw a turkey, humming bird, and sea lions.
What a fun week!!
We went to the Redwoods for Spring Break this year. My sister Genella and her 3 kids, my mom and me and my 3 kids all headed up North for four days. That is NINE of us. The ages of the kids are 9,8,7,6,3 & 3. Pretty crazy. We took my van and my mom's RV. I was the lucky one who got to travel in the van with both the 3 year olds. They were little angels. They watched Blues Clues ABCs and slept. I listened to talk radio podcasts. The five hours actually went by pretty quickly.
We watched "Bedtime Stories" before bed.The week was lots of fun. It only rained on us a little. We saw some beautiful scenery, drove through a tree (which was Maleah's sole goal in going to the Redwoods), went to the beach, played at the park, made smores and shopped.
