March 2022

March increased our pace as we moved into spring. We had the regular activities (dance, gymnastics, youth events, friends, voice lessons, garden growing, school, and doctor appointments (new contacts for Sheri, orthodontia for Christian, checkups for Eve etc.).  Sterling also started track meets.  Some unique highlights of March include the church formal, Angel’s baptism, and track for Sterling. The Young Men also started preparing for their camp this summer by going on Saturday morning bike rides to increase ability and stamina.  Here are some photos for the month.

I was able to attend the temple on the 11th.  What a beautiful way to slow down and re-center!

The 13th was the church formal dance.

These are some flower arrangements I made from my yard.  The second one was for my neighbor, Maisy, whose husband passed away.

I took the girls to San Francisco to get fitted for pointe shoes at The Pointe Shop, which apparently is famous for its fittings and shoes. The girls were so excited!

On the 19th Angel was able to be baptized!  His parents finally gave him permission and it was such a wonderful event to celebrate with him!  He was so excited that he gave a whoop after the baptism.  It has been so cool to be small part of his lessons with the missionaries and see him make these covenants! 

Also on the 19th I had a RS brunch and a dinner with friends at the Liljenquist's house.  We were able to sing for Matt's birthday since he would be out of town for his actual day.

These are some beautiful vegetables from our garden and some of the other spring beauties from the yard.

Here are the girls at dance.

This is a note from Christian's teacher at school.

Here is a video of Sterling at gymnastics.

Here is Sterling at a track meet with his friend John.

 

This is a video of Sterling pole vaulting (he chose primarily pole vault, high jump, and hurdles as his main events.)

Here are a few other fun photos.

Here Eve is planting trees at school with SAVE club.

March was a lovely month full of great moments as well as challenges.  Whenever I get overwhelmed or discouraged I do my best to turn to God for help.  I love this quote for keeping perspective. It reminds me to let go of worry and trust in the Lord to help me through the difficulties of life
