Mav.  Napping when Elise probably doesn't
want him to.

Hyeji celebrated birthday # 9.  I made her this pillow and took her to
lunch at Tony Burgers.  She loves vegetables, but she
will occasionally eat hamburgers.

Adrienne made 4 cakes.  This oreo cake was for Finn's 4th birthday.
Ila had her "smash cake,"  There was also a carmel/ganache/coconut
concoction cake (I'm not sure what it was really called), and a
gluten free cake, recipe courtesy of Charlotte.
(AJ's sister Emmie has recently been diagnosed with celiac).

Dojin liked Hyeji's birthday present, too.  It's minky
on the back--nice and soft.

After our lunch, Jennie did Hyeji's nails for her
birthday.

It was Ila's birthday this month also.  Her first
birthday (April 10).  We celebrated at Adrienne's new
house.  Her smash cake was a little too beautiful to smash.
She was also a little overwhelmed when all her brothers were
circling her, chanting, "Smash it, smash it..."

Ruby and Greta loved Adrienne's new house.  They were
dancing on this porch.

Conference Saturday.  We had the family over and ate waffles.

Also Conference Saturday (Jennie and Jordan)

We're still hoping Ila will warm up to us.  She's been a real
mommy's (and daddy's) girl.

 Monday night we went to an Easter Egg Hunt at Centerville Park put on by  Century 21 (we know one of the agents and received an invitation).  It was crowded, but the kids had a ball.

Group picture

Crista looked at the group pictures and zoomed in on them--then sent out some pictures showing the funny expressions of several in the group picture

Nick and Sara joined Crista at Baby Animal Days in Logan:

I guess Avie did not like the bunny

Sara didn't give me the picture of Nick when the handler put a snake around his neck.  They all got a little panicked when the snake started constricting.  It seemed the handler didn't have much experience.  Needless to say, Nick said, "NEVER AGAIN!"

Ori, Greta, Effie and Ruby

As Stake YW President, I think my main job is to
provide refreshments for the activities and firesides.   

Dojin and Dan--It think this was a "forced" nap

Roy attended a ballet recital for Hyeji.  I couldn't go because I was in a
 "Tsunami Fitness" certification class all day.  I am
now certified to teach exercises on a board that is
larger, but somewhat similar to a paddle board.  It is
tethered to the lane lines with one cord in front, and one behind.
It's all about balance.  I actually spent quite a bit of time falling
in to the pool and climbing back up on the board.

Dan's family with Roy after the recital

Caitlyn had a skating test in Provo.  She suggested meeting up with these cute cousins, Jacob Bingham, left, and Jason Cook, right.  We had pizza and a great time.

Ori came in yelling, "Mom, Effie has a mud mask."

3 Happy girls

Saturday night we spent with Nick and Sara at the YM/YW Fundraiser (that Roy started in the Bountiful 41st ward years ago).  This time Sara was in charge.  It was so busy for her that Nick said he should be mad at Roy for starting it.  It makes a lot of money for the youth, so it's probably worth it.  We came home about $450 poorer (someone auctioned off a condo in Puerto Vallarta for 7 nights!!!--we think we got a pretty good deal).  Roy took some pictures of the event because they had decorated really well, and he wanted to show his current young men's group, but he didn't get any pictures of the real reason we went--Ori, Effie and Avie.  We enjoyed being with them for the evening.
