Creating yoga moves for the game Tia Sophia brought us:) 

First egg hunt of the season

 

Finally got over to see Grandpa for his birthday. 

Gwinna picked out a marvel pillow for him, Noelle a stuffed frog, Sia got him leather bracelet/anklet, Michael Joe, a silver steam boat Willie coin, and I got him the t shirt.  47th he says 😄

Of course sugar cookies❤

I went on a field trip with Sia!!! Hilmar Cheese ice cream making!  

Fun to have one little trip with her for kindergarten. 

We kicked off Spring Break with some Tia Sophia shopping!!! 

A CRAZY long day of it.  Famous Footwear for sandals that fit, TJ MAXX, Ross, IN N OUT, Hobby Lobby, The Farmhouse, and a boutique (for carrots! So awesome!)  in downtown.

 Oh! And Home Depot for plants! 

EASTER celebrations. 👆

It POURED for a few minutes this day and the girls got the best of it!

Claires trip. Always fun. 

At the end of the week Michael took the girls out to the trampoline park for a couple of hours while I blasted music & cleaned the house.  Felt so good! 

Hanging out with Lauren. 

Sweet Noelle.

Noelle growing sugar snap daddy peas! SO exciting to see it sprouting out!

Watching this Johnny Depp craziness.  Turns out SHE is the crazy one. 

Albert surprised us by getting his friend to disc the whole property!!!

April 29th we did a dinner with Albert, Tara, all of our kids, Cassidy & Tanner at Great American Grill. 

Happy 5 years Silva Injury Law.  

Verse 29 hits slightly different than ever before because as a mom & older woman who loves to work out & suffers from anemia I am quite often feeling “faint”…. Through the Atonement of Jesus Christ I can receive POWER & STRENGTH. Growing up I really always thought of the Atonement mostly as covering my sins, my mistakes, my BAD behavior. It started to shift only when I served a mission … I began to realize oh! The Atonement is also a source of every good thing we want in this life: peace, joy, hope, strength, stronger faith, wisdom & so much more. This act enables us in every way to both DO the good & BECOME the better. It does not just take care of us after we have done the wrong thing. Which is obviously HUgE! I feel the need to point out this whole other side to Christ’s Atonement. 

It can be a game changer for us. 
A WHOLE other face which enables to be stronger & more resilient ….
Comfort, heal, AND strengthens! 

One other thing to note this month: 

Michael got himself, Gwinna and Sia matching Goosebumps shoes!
