New York skyline

We had to take some picture of the New York skyline. It's amazing.
Alexis is holding, Mary. Her eighth grade project she brought home for the weekend. She would randomly cry, even at night, and Alexis would have to hold a key in her back to get her to stop crying. She also had to log when and for how long she cried. She had to take her everywhere. We received a lot of strange looks from people and others knew exactly what the doll was for.

Piccolo's Pizza in Patterson, NJ

We spent the day in New Jersey. Kimberly showed us around to several of the places where she lived while on her mission there. We had the best pizza ever at Piccolo's.
The pizza was giagantic and so were the slices.
Delicious!!!
The owner of the place was your typical Italian-American, accent and all. It was such a fun experience to listen to him talk.

8th Grade fieldtrip to Washington, DC

Alexis' entire class went to Washington DC, via very comfortable charter busses, to see "Little Shop of Horrors" at Ford's Theatre. Her seat was on the third row, along with a live orchestra, which made this such an awesome experience. It's the theatre where Abraham Lincoln was shot. They stll have plays there. Check out, Fordstheatre.org. They also went to the museum across the street.
After the play, they went to the Old Post Office Pavillion for lunch. There is an amazing view of DC from the top of this building. Alexis got to spend the entire day with her friends from school and had an amazing time. What a fun, fun, fieldtrip!!!! I'm so glad she was able to have this opportunity and experience that she'll never forget.

SPRING!!!

Spring in the East is so beautiful. I love all the colors of the many different blossoms and flowers.



Easter

Thank you, Easter Bunny, I've enjoyed reading these books.
Thank you, Kimberly, for this soft, cute, cuddily bunny.
Since Easter weekend also happened to be conference weekend, we made our traditional Little Citrus Muffins, cream cheese scrambled eggs and German Apple Pancakes for Saturday and Sunday Breakfasts. We lounged around, snaking on Easter candy and being fed spirtually by the prophets and apostles. For dinner Kimberly's friend, Allison came down and we had ham and melt in your mouth potatoes, with Strawberry Pie for dessert.
