Oh wow what a month! We celebrated St. Patrick's Day, Easter, April Fools Day and General Conference! In addition to that, there were many birthdays. About seven to be exact. I turned 35, and Tatem turned 2!
The girls have been clogging at competitions. Gabe and Paisley are still in piano lessons. Gabe and Manuel are taking guitar lessons. Gabe is still busy with scouts, and we've been having lots of fun!
Manuel moved into a new office at work and has been winning awards and getting great recognition.
I've been speaking at events, writing music, and recording an album - I'll share more later. I published a new book on Amazon that has been helping people change their lives. It's called, "You Were Meant to Prosper".
Still busy with our church callings. I'm still in Young Womens and Manuel is still ward financial clerk.
We built a gas fire pit and new patio in the backyard. Manuel designed it.
So many pictures - it takes me a week to put a post together. So many hours to upload photos, insert HTML code, upload videos etc. So, I don't always get around to regular posting. This post took about five days. Crazy huh?
More fun still ahead this month. The kids have been off-track and out of school for the past couple weeks. We will post later :)
