April

We started off April with General Conference.  I got the idea online for a conference basket for Mia. I cut out the pictures of all the general authorities and then taped each one onto a little treat or activity. Then when that person spoke she got whatever prize the picture was on.  Mia loved it and we actually got a little bit out of conference.
We have tulips this year.  We always forget to plant them in the fall so this is the first year we've actually had them.  I was super excited.
 We had a big family dinner with Monty's family. Monty decided it was time for his nice to become an Aggie.
 We got a picture with Grandma great and her 5 great grand daughters from Monty's dad's family.  The next day grandma passed away.
 The following week we headed down to St. George for grandma's funeral.  I met some of Monty's family I've never met before and he got to see cousins he hasn't seen in 20 years.  Sad that it takes a funeral to get everyone together. Mia and Lucy before the funeral started.
 Our family at the funeral.
 We made a weekend of it and stayed in St. George. The weather was great and Mia had a blast playing in the pool.
 Mia had fun playing with all the family.
 It was a nice get away even if it was for a sad reason.
The Saturday before Easter we had a BBQ and Easter egg hunt down at Monty's parents house.  The kids all had a blast. 
Hunting for Easter eggs is always a blast.

 Then we colored eggs.
 The Easter Bunny visited Mia again this year.
 Mia and her pretty Easter dress.
 Stopping to smell the flowers.
 Mia has a small obsession with tractors.  There is a house being built on the street behind us and one weekend they left a small back hoe in the yard.  We let Mia go check it out and pretend to drive it.  She was in 7th heaven.
 Grandma came to visit in April too.
 I don't know why but Mia likes to wear her bucket on her head. On this particular day she had underwear on her bucket as well.  It was pretty funny.

 The basement it coming along very nicely.
 Hopefully it will be done but the end of May or first of June.
Until next month my friends!
