Inspiration For Our Future Missionary
We had the missionaries over for dinner last Saturday. We have an Elder Bryson from Payson Utah. It was cool to see that name on his name tag. I had given a talk in Sacrament meeting the Sunday before (which I surprised Brett with, he didn't know I would be speaking (he, he, he)) and Elder Bryson remembered me because I kept talking about my Bryson. A fun coincidence.

Going Green
Check out this link

It's from Oprah.com and this is how I want to live. It's about the Dervaes family in Los Angeles and they live on 1/10th of an acre and produce 3 tons of food every year. I would love to be so self sufficient!

Rainbow Excitement
Here's how to put to use some of your old, broken, crayon pieces.
Put chunks of crayon (all different colors) in a muffin pan.
Heat at 350 degrees in the oven for a couple of minutes. Keep an eye on them!
Let them sit until cool and pop them out with a butter knife (just push on the edges a little and the whole thing comes up).
Voila! Great chunks of rainbow fun. Toddlers learning to color just love them. My mom and I also made some homemade colored play dough. Fun, fun, fun!

The Jelly Belly Factory
Last Friday I went with some of my in-law's to visit the Jelly Belly Factory. I had always wanted to go and jumped at the opportunity. Bryson did very well, he really enjoyed looking through the windows down into the factory and seeing all the machines and people working. When he spotted the trays of massive amounts of jelly beans, he made his Cookie Monster sound and acted like he was eating them. He loved the free samples at the end. I liked the chocolate shop where Bryson and I shared an enormous peanut butter cup. It was to die for.

Jelly bean shaped hamburger. They also make their pizza's like that.

Easter At Sand Mountain, Nevada
We went to Sand Mountain for a few days during Easter weekend. We were able to attend church in Fallon and got some cute photos of all the kids afterwards.
Here they are looking like angels...
and then 3 seconds later...
A shot of just the boys...
and 1/2 a second later...
Oldest cousin Lauren with Bryson.
Lauren with her sister Lacie, so adorable!
Now the Easter egg hunt. Bryson really got into it this year. All I had to do was give him a basket and tell him to put the eggs in it. He caught on really quick!
It was fun hiding the eggs all around our camp. In the quads, the trucks, the trailers and the sand.
Nice belly shot on me, yes, I'm measuring big. About 4 weeks ahead. This baby will probably be bigger than Bryson was at 8lbs 2 oz.
Bryson loved his Easter basket. The Easter bunny had left it on his bed when he wasn't looking.
I love my basket...kiss, kiss.
Silly string from Grandma Patrice. What a mess!
Grandma cleaning the silly string off Cole. You can see a part of Sand Mountain in the background.
It was a great trip. No one from our group got hurt. The Life Flight helicopters did have to make an appearance a couple of times and that's always fun to watch. We even saw a guy get pulled over on his quad, tested for alcohol, and handcuffed and taken away right in front of our camp. What a moron! I didn't do any riding due to being too pregnant to be jostled around, which was fine. I enjoyed the sun, being with family and playing with Bryson in the sand.
