Spring has Sprung!

By March , 2018, Bob and I were ready to go to Utah and meet our new grand-baby, Brady.  After arriving in Salt Lake City on the 1st, we spent a few days with Bobby and Jill's family.  Elly, Max, and Linley showed us their athletic prowess at a trampoline and obstacle course facility.


On Saturday, March 3, 2018, Bob and I took Elynor with us down to Provo for the day.  We were anxious to see little Brady, and wanted to see Michael present his studies in a Geology Seminar at BYU.  "Little Brady", is really "Big Brady" and he surprised us with how alert and smiley he was for being so young.  What a handsome little man!  Mike and Kristin fixed us a big breakfast and then we drove to campus.  Michael was very professional and well spoken in his presentation.  He was able to take questions and answer them in very clear and understandable terms.  We are sure proud of him!  We stopped at Krispy Kreme doughnuts for a treat, but Elynor, who (along with her siblings) was abiding by a strict no sugar diet only watched as the doughnuts were made.  She has way more will-power than I!  Sadly, Bob and I easily consumed several of those greasy, melt-in-your-mouth (but, oh, so good) sugar bombs!



The following day, Michael and Kristin invited family to attend church with them for Brady's baby blessing.  His adorable blessing outfit was made by Kristin and her mom! Afterwards, we went to their condo and enjoyed lunch and visiting with Kent and Linda's children.  What a sharp bunch of "zoobies"!


Grandpa had to go back to work in Texas, and Michael was away most of the upcoming week with his BYU team's national racquetball tournament, so I was called to grandma duty and was excited to help out Kristin and spend some time with Brady and Eve.  We played at the indoor mall kid's area, hung out at home, and fed ducks at the park.


 Later that week, I went back up to Murray to watch Bobby and Jill's kids for a couple of days.  We had a good time playing outside and even coloring the snow!


I had only a couple more days to spend with Brady and Eve before heading back to Texas.  All eyes were on these two cuties as we attended church together on Sunday, March 11!  You sure did good with those kiddos, Michael and Kristin! 


Back in Texas, Bob and I finished out the month by going to spend Easter/General Conference weekend at the Bosen's home in Temple.  Thomas had to work all weekend, so we held our little Easter egg hunt without him.  I think we spotted the Easter Bunny in their backyard!  


It is so rewarding to see our children and grandchildren sustaining a new prophet and apostles and trying to live the gospel of Jesus Christ!  


 We love you, President Nelson!
