So this spring break I have to be honest I started being really sad... We were suppose to go to Utah with Monkey's parents. We were going to have like a Mullins reunion. We were going to get to go to Conference and I was going to get to see my sisters Jaclyn and Natalie. But because of some prego issues I wasn't able to go. And again sadly it was suppose to rain in Forest Grove all week long. So I was a bit sad. Monkey the positive person that he is said we can have as much fun here in the rain as we could there. So thats just what we decided to do!
We got one sunny day so we spent it all day outside! having a picnic, playing hop scotch, Cash skidding his whole face on the pavement (sooo sad), swinging, and basking in the sun!
The rest of the week rained so we spent it window shopping, at sweet tomatoes... which is the kids favorite place to eat! Playing waterfall down the stairs! And best of all being with Monkey! Belle hardly left his side the entire week!
Monkey was so cute he did a surprise date for me! I came downstairs to Cancun retreat! He made the best coconut chicken and pineapple smoothies! He had music and pictures of paradise! I don't know how he does it but everyday he makes me feel more and more loved by them sweetest and most simple things!
The rest of Spring Break we explored Forest Grove... finding all the beauty Spring has to offer, almost buying chicks and a baby duck at the pet store, watching a field full of geese.... and going to Out of this World with our good friends Scott and Kristen... Or should I say Cash's Uncle Scott which Cash always calls him!
Now save the best for last! Saturday and Sunday was spent snuggling in our bed watching General Conference! I love General Conference. I especially loved this year because my kids know President Monson. They were giggling and smiling when he got up to speak! What a time to be uplifted! I get so motivated to be better. I learn what is really important. I cherish these days! Belle wanted to make it more special by waking up early and making the boys warm dairy free biscuits and honey! So we sat on our bed eating warm biscuits and honey and soaking in every word our leaders said! I am so grateful to have a prophet living on this earth today! I know he speaks for our Father in heaven and his son Jesus Christ! The talks this general conference really touched my heart. It made me want to become better. It made me want to think of people for who they are as a son/daughter of God and not judge them by impressions. It made me really understand that if I make a mistake my Heavenly Father will always love me and through Jesus Christ's atonement I can truly become clean! I got so motivated to make myself better and happier! I am so excited for this upcoming week to take time out and really focus on what was going on in the Saviors life 100rds and 100rds of years ago. I have no idea what he must have been feeling as he knew he soon would suffer for all our sins and die for us! Pure Love. I can't express how I feel... I am overwhelmed with love for the sacrifice he made for me that if I live righteously and use his selfless atonement I can live with him and my Father again. I am so excited to celebrate his Resurrection and his birthday this week. I can't wait till my children really understand how important this week is...
