Bailee Makes Me Happy

I just have to tell you a really cute thing that Bailee did yesterday. It really made me smile inside as I tried very hard not to laugh out loud with her there.

Her dad sent her over to borrow a stick of butter. So she comes in and tells me she needs a stick of butter. I say, Okay. Get in the frige and give her stick of butter. She looked at me and she said. I need one more thing and I said what. She said.

I need a stick.

Doesn't that just tickle your funny bone. Kids say the darndest things and can make a gray day sunny.

Ten reasons why I LOVE April!!!

I cannot tell you how glad I am that March is finally over. It lived up to it's reputation up until the very last day with freezing cold wind and snow flurries all over the place. I am glad to kick out March and welcome April with open arms. At last there is spring in the air and hope for a sunny tomorrow. So here go my reasons why I love April.

1. First and foremost, Lynn and I were married in April, so I love April because of that.
2. The savior was born in April.
3. Conference is in April and I love going to conference and getting rejuvinated to be better than I am.
4. Disneyland is in April and it is not so hot in sunny California in April but sitting in the sunshine at Disneyland feels mighty good when it is bad weather at home.
5. I can get my flower beds ready for the new season.
6. The kids can play outside and have a great time.
7. I might can get my lawn cut and get all the dead grass off (if Matt is in the mood that is).
8. Everyone is more happy and smiling because they can get outside and bask in the sunshine.
9. Sometimes Easter falls in this month and I love Easter. I love coloring eggs and rolling them down a hill and putting plastic eggs for the kids to find for an easter egg hunt. Also Easter dinner is quite yummy.
10. Last but not least, the cows get branded in April and this has become quite a fun thing for our family and extended families to participate in. They get all dirty and smelly and we take them a hamberger for lunch and we all feel pretty satisfied with life.

There you have it. My reasons for loving April. What are some of yours?
