Happy Spring!

Doesn't this say Spring?! Courtesy of Emma!

My Five:

1. Sunny days!

2. Emma's fun friends at school

3. Happy hour at Sonic! Blue Powerade slushies... 54 cents!

4. When Matt says, "Let's BBQ!" That means I get the night off!!

5. Emma's sweetness. She just asked me where her preschool teachers go to church, and I told her I didn't know. She asked if they learn about the prophet, and I said, "No, they don't know we have a prophet to lead us." Then she said, "Oh, well I'll tell them on Friday at school!" 

Outside we go!

Lately it seems that we've had some really super cold days, and poor Tal just stares out the windows and at the door just hoping for a chance to go out.

Luckily last week it warmed up so we took full advantage. Into the wagon we went! Tal could hardly control himself with excitement. It really is refreshing to have these kinds of days as a mom. It puts a new spring in everyone's step! We had fun.

Peeek-A-Boo!!

My Five:

1. Spring flowers peeking out of the ground. You can't help but smile.

2. Desserts! We have a recipe exchange night with the very culinary talented ladies in our ward and it was dessert night.

3. Our ward conference at church was one to be remembered. 

4. Story time at the library.

5. Being married to my eternal companion. Six years out of eternity seems kind of insignificant, but they have been so full! I feel extremely loved and blessed.

6 years and counting!

March 1 was our Anniversary, and since it fell on Sunday we partied on Friday! I left a fun surprise for Matt at work, but his surprise was far more impressive. He made us a reservation at a place called Flemming's, one of those restaurants that everyone should at least experience once in their life (mostly because it might take that long to pay off the bill you ring up... just kidding, sort of)!!! Just the experience of sitting there and receiving the wonderful treatment was such fun, not to mention the incredible food. Matt had mentioned when we made the reservation that it was our anniversary and throughout the night the manager and a handful of others would come and congratulate us. Very nice! And as we were about to leave our waiter brought out this little golden box:

And when I opened it, it revealed four of the most beautiful things I've ever seen (maybe not ever, but close):

Matt knows how much I love tulips, so starting from our first anniversary he has given me a tulip for ever year we've been married. Aren't these 6 lovely ladies beautiful!

We had a wonderful evening, and I feel especially blessed and lucky to have married such a terrific person. He is my match in every way.
