On March 5th we got to go to the BYU game against Wyoming. We spent Friday night with Nate and Jordan and that was nice. On the BYU campus we had tickets to go to the Carl Bloch exhibit. That was really neat!! We saw many of the original Carl Bloch paintings that were shipped over from Denmark from churches over there. (He has painted many of the classic pictures of Christ, many of which are on the front of the Ensign or LDS church manuals.) Viewing these life-size originals almost made me feel like I was in the presence of the Savior. It was a neat experience.
We all really enjoyed the BYU game. The kids enjoyed cheering for the team and taking part in all the excitement. This is the first live game we have ever been to as a family (besides Bear River highschool games). It was even more fun that they won, too!
On Saturday March 12th, Aaron and his dad took Erika and Kyle fishing at Locomotive springs. It is a spring fed lake that the fish and game stocks pretty regularly. The spring is warm enough that it never freezes over in the winter. It was worth the 1 hr drive because the kids had such a good time. They caught fish non-stop. Here they are in the backyard displaying their catch (at least the ones they decided to keep.) They had a blast!

Sunday morning, Erika woke up feeling sick. Actually, she had started feeling sick the night before but we thought she had just been carsick from the drive to Locomotive springs. But, the next morning we realized she had the flu. She had thrown up a few times and decided to make herself a "bed" in the hall by the bathroom. A little while later, Heidi pulled up a pillow and blanket and decided to keep her sister company. She adores her sister and loves to be by her.
This last week, Aaron took Kyle out practice on his bike. He is still a little rusty at riding without training wheels. He did pretty well!! We are so proud of him. We are excited to get out and enjoy the warmer weather. My kids just make me smile- They keep us busy, but it is such a good kind of busy.
I love the picture of the sister Love... too sweet.
ReplyDeleteWAY to go Kyle... look at you FLY on that bike. I am anxious to come and watch you ride.
Love you guys... thanks for sharing the latest.
Look at all those fish!! What fun!! I hear there are lots of "extra" stories that go with that memory!!
