In No Particular Order......

Here is MARCH at a glance. We had a great March! Well at least I had a great March. This is one of my favorite months. I was kept very bust y this month. On Sat the 7th Isaac had a Pow Wow at BYU campus I had the privilege of driving him down and spending the day waiting for him( I had some GREAT reading time. I love to read.) Isaac then finished up his Pow Wow on the 21st(I was lucky enough I didn't have to drive him down this time).

Rachel has been very busy practicing with the Drama club at school. She was in the The Wizard of Oz Play with the big night on the 20th. Her part(drum roll please) Glenda the GOOD Witch! We had to come up with her costume ourselves. So I had been on a search for a costume since November(no typo here) Well I started to panic when March First arrived and I had not found a costume yet. So I had to turn to my Plan 'B'. What is Plan 'B' you ask? Let me tell you I asked Barbara Bennett to reconstruct a wedding dress into an amazing Glenda Dress. In order for her to have the time to do this she had to give up some of her daily responsibilities. So we made a deal I would help clean her house and help cook some of her dinners while she sewed away! Great deal for me (at least I thought so). It did keep me very busy though. I wish I would have taken a picture of the dress before but I didn't think of it. Of coarse I have tons of pictures the after.






This Last Picture is of the dress with the cake I made. I tried to make the cake look like her dress.
The cake Rachel thought I was making it for My Birthday but I wasn't I was making it for her. After her play everyone that went to see her in the play was invited back to our house for cake and ice cream. She was so surprised. I love it when my kids are so happy!

I love March because it is a celebration month for me. It was my B-day! Which I do something small for myself everyday in the week of My B-day. So Monday I simply just relaxed and read as much as I could. Tuesday I met up with my sister she treated me to lunch and then we did a little shopping(Thanks Monika). Wednesday the YW Presidency and advisers took me to Apple Bees for a fun girls night out(Thanks Ladies). Thursday I went to the school and watched Isaac in do a presentation in his class. Afterwards I had delicious breakfast made for me by Teresa(Thank you!!) The rest of the day I just had fun doing whatever and just enjoyed hagging with Tom and the kids. Friday was Rachel's play. Saturday was our Stake Women's Conference it was so nice I was so grateful I was able to go to it I learned so much and it started to prepare me for General Conference. It was a wonderful week.

March 25th our family had the opportunity to go to a Jon Schmidt concert. The kids had a blast they took tons of pictures and Isaac even videoed him(Isaac knows more about my camera than I do). After the concert the kids wanted his autograph. They all had there tickets signed And Ben asked Jon to sign his shirt. Ben thought that was "Totally Wicked" Enjoy the video!!





On March 27th Tom and I celebrated our 12th wedding anniversary. He took the day off. We were able to just be together all day. It was so nice. We went to lunch. We tried an Arby's Roast Burger. We both were glad we tried it but we will probably not order it again. Then we watched a movie in the middle of the day that never happens. After the kids came home from school we decided that we wanted to celebrate with the kids so we decided to take them to dinner It was yummy! Afterwards we bought them a gift they each got a new book of their choice at Barns and Noble. It was a wonderful day.


On March 28th Our family helped out at the church cleaning up the church yard. We had a good time and Isaac was excited he was able to count the time for community service hours(for a scout merit badge). Latter that day I was able to go to the YW broadcast at the stake center. It was really nice. I love the new Value!

So there you have a little bit of March In No Particular Order...
