Time flies when you are having fun.

It was so great to have Lindy and Jacob here and feel normal again.  I think March felt like it lasted a year and April started going by quicker, but the week Lindy and Jacob were here flew by! We had so much fun and we all wished they could have stayed longer.
Caitlyn and Lindy had fun together.  Lindy helped Cailtyn with her math, I was so grateful.  I had fun watching chick flicks with Lindy and Caitlyn. I loved showing them movies that I loved when I was about Lindy's age.
Jonah and Jacob are two peas in a pod.  They are so similar and get along so well.  They both love video games, but they love to be active as well.  Every day they would ride scooters along the parkway and up to 7-11 or Family Dollar.  I would give them some money and they would buy a drink or a treat and they also found some frisbees that they were excited about.  One day we went over to the Parkway and ran into them when they were on their way home.  It was the perfect way for them to get out every day.
Hallee was excited to ride scooters with them.
Jonah and Jacob also spent plenty of time playing games on their phones.  Wyatt loved hanging out with them.
They put the swing and the tire swing back up on the parkway. The kids are very happy about that.
We have loved the Spring weather. 
I had to take this pictures because cute, little Hallee's butt crack is always showing.  Cutest, little butt crack ever.
Hallee loved having Lindy and Jacob here.  Lindy always gives her lots of love and attention.
She was thrilled when Lindy played a game with just her!
The boys had fun playing pool with Keith.
Jacob and Jonah wanted to make muffins.  I thought that was so cute!
I helped them a little bit, but they did most of it on their own.
They were so proud of their applesauce muffins.
Caitlyn loves to bake, so she was thrilled to make a chocolate cheesecake with Lindy.
On Saturday Lindy drove the kids to Salt Lake and I stayed home with Hallee and Wyatt.  They went to grandma's first and had fun playing games there.  Jonah and Jacob stayed and hung out with Dante until Keith picked them up on his way home from helping his dad move.  Lindy and Caitlyn went over to Mel's and had fun hanging out with their cousins all night.  Caitlyn loved staying out late and driving home with Lindy.  Tiff and her kids came over while they were gone so Hallee and Wyatt were in cousin heaven too.
It was nice having Lindy and Jacob here on Sunday for church.  Lindy played the piano for us.
It was great to have these three administer the sacrament.  I'm so grateful we have been able to have the sacrament at home!
We had church over facetime with grandma, grandpa and Alexys.  I taught the lesson and I asked Jacob, Jonah, Lindy and Caitlyn to share something.  I was impressed with their preparation and insights.  That night we all watched The Fighting Preacher Together.  The night before Keith and I watched Knives Out with the older kids. We all enjoyed that movie.
