Fun in the last big snow of the season. I went out walking in the freezing cold just to escape the house for a little while. It was really beautiful with all the trees weighed down with snow.

We had a very special conference where we got to do the Hosanna Shout to commemorate 200 years since the First Vision.  It was really neat to do at home all together.  This is how Josh does school:Lots of lunch dates.  This one, no one could agree where to go. Since we’ve got nothing but time, everyone got to go exactly where they wanted.  Making Masks.Happy Birthday Jim.  Are you even a red blooded American housewife if you haven’t made a sourdough starter during Quarantine?Cinnamon rolls for conference.  These are my best yet.  I’ve perfected my recipe!  The secret is in the maple extract in the cream cheese frosting.  It’s life changing.  We made our very own laser maze.Blake built Dash a combo house and play structure Rusty and I got to help pack food boxes at the salvation army.  Mother’s Day treats for my friends.  There were several kinds of cookies , homemade strawberry ice cream, and my new favorite, Muddy buddy marshmallow treats.  A hybrid of muddy buddies and rice krispie treats.  SO YUM.  Recipe from Butternutbakeryblog.comHappy Birthday Jane!  Our very first birthday parade.

I told Josh he couldn’t spend one more minute in his bed.  This was his solution.  Halle’s poor knees are killing her!  So on a family walk we pulled her in the wagon so she could still come with us.  Blake pulled her around with his motorcycle after we were done.  Hiking in BoulderOur Stake did a food drive.  Rusty is on the Stake Public Affairs committee, so he got to head the effort.  This was at the very beginning –by the end we had enough food to feed 30 families for a month.  Now it’s Luke’s turn for the birthday parade!Corona Cookie decorating.  This was so fun!  A local bakery put together kits and published a youtube video teaching the kids how to decorate their cookies.
