Easter Sunday

Worldwide Day of Fast

One of my favorite scriptures lately is from 1 Nephi 17:51 from the Book of Mormon. It reads...

And now, if the Lord has such great power, and has wrought so many miracles among the children of men, how is it that he cannot instruct me, that I should build a ship?

I feel that we can put anything that we are asked to do in that last line, “like how is it that he cannot instruct me...” to fast in faith that the present pandemic may be controlled, caregivers protected, the economy strengthened and life normalized.

I believe if we have faith our prayers will be answered.

Book Club is so Great!

I’ve listened to 4 books since the quarantine, but this is the one that I want to post about. I’m embarrassed to say that I never put much thought into my opinion on the death penalty until listening to Anthony Ray Hinton’s story. It’s a must read, especially if you believe in the death penalty.

Books I've read/listened to this year...
Left to Tell
Dear Evan Hansen
Being Mortal
The Dutch House
Before we Were Yours
Giver of Stars
Fox 8
The Sun Does Shine
I remember Nothing
The Dearly Beloved

April 2020 General Conference

Loved hearing from our Prophet President Russell M. Nelson this conference weekend. Here are a few amazing things shared during conference weekend.

A Solemn Assembly and Hosanna Shout

Our traditional word candy game for conference.

 Went on a family walk between conferences.

Jane

Jane is the one that’s having the hardest time with the quarantine. She misses her friends, Mrs. Karen and her preschool friends. Mrs. Karen challenged the kids to read (be read to) 15 minutes everyday in March. We did it 🤗 and she received a $5 gift card for DQ and this cute J frame 💗. 

 The other day she wanted a new toy so we made a girl “Forky”

 We’ve played Candy Land about a hundred times already.

 Jane, Danny and I did this puzzle together during conference.

 I still wake up most mornings with Jane in my bed.

Outdoor Activities During the Quarantine

Danny put together a fun Scavenger Hunt for the kids.

 Running Challenge...

Whichever child could run with Danny the longest wins Chipotle.

Hanna won! They ran a mile and a quarter. Daisy was so close.

Hanna said she was just about to stop, but then Daisy did.

Clark ran a mile. Jane ran way longer than I thought she would.

 Jumbo Jet fun

 S'mores

Back Flip Fun

Van

I need to get a new video of Van doing a back flip, 

because he has now mastered it!

We've gone on a couple family walks.

 During these walks we've played freeze tag.

 The kids have slept in the tent outback.

 And on the trampoline.
