AMIGURUMI DUCKS AND BASKETS

I decided to make some quick amigurumi ducks 

out of thread and put them in little baskets for 

my nursery kids for Easter.

ANOTHER FINISHED AFGHAN

I finished another afghan.

My goal was to deliver it at the family 

Easter party on April 19.

BRIANNA'S MISSION CALL OPENING

On March 29 we gathered at Lori & Tom's for the opening of Brianna's long awaited mission call. 

Brianna was excited and nervous and it was difficult to get a clear picture.

The lucky mission: Boise, Idaho

PTCB CLASS

In early March I started taking a Pharmacy Technician Certification Board class, with the goal of passing the certification exam. My employer offers the class several time a year, 4 hours a week for 7 weeks.

We memorized drug names with their generics and drug classes, studied pharmacy law, and learned a lot of math. 

The math was brutal.

Every Thursday was test day.

 

Its been a lot of years since I had to stretch my brain so far and I quite liked it. 

ABEL'S 1ST BIRTHDAY

On the afternoon of February 15 after the Temple open house we gathered at Aunt Karen's for Abel's 1st Birthday party.

and a Pinata

full of candy

and, of course, presents

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ABEL!

GILBERT AZ TEMPLE OPEN HOUSE

On the morning of February 15 Leanne and I joined Aunt Karen, cousins Cindy, Rich, Celisse and Caralie as well as Abel and his Grandma Veronica to tour the new Gilbert Temple. It is a beautiful building. I didn't have a camera with me so I borrowed some pictures from Cindy's Blog .
