March

We celebrated 3 birthdays in March. Sweet little Prescott Pearl (Scottie) was born on the 19th. She weighed in at 7 lb. 14 oz. and was 20 inches long.

And then, of course, there were the two guys - on the 28th - with Ryan turned 52 and Michael turned 25.

 

This is how we filled our calendar...

We attended a session in the beautiful Taylorsville Temple with the Browns.

We always love our trips to Texas - and this one was no exception. This time around we enjoyed a girl's day, guy's golf day, home tours, the Dallas Arboretum, a french horn concert, walking Bauer, stake conference, a new baby, an announcement of another, and lots of good food.

Dude and Rosie enjoyed their 'loves'...Meanwhile, Cocoa was just waiting for her turn...

Dexter helped Patrick figure out his legos.

Shelley and Ryan took a quick trip to Shreveport.

Dexter continued producing art masterpieces. (David may want to commission a piece when he gets his new home!)😊

Oliver's potela palace placed 3rd. My question - did the Dalai Lama ever really live there?

Seth and Ainsley attended the Lindon Temple open house.

Joseph decided it was time to do some yard work...while Amber and her friends did some inside cleaning.

Finn kept busy trying to catch that evasive leprechaun, attending prom with his friends and learning how to make lemon tarts.

The DARs traveled to Boise for state gymnastics, where Oliver took 2nd place overall and his team took it all!

They also had the opportunity to meet up with Big Foot - Lincoln was especially impressed!!

'Tis the season! This year we will just be following Tyler - and soon to run - Brielle.

Mac did his running in the annual Color Run.

It was sure to happen. 

Patrick started gymnastics.

'Tis another season for hockey, as well. Mac scored 2 points in his first game and was also voted captain.

Can spring really be on its way?!

We had our first graduate of 2026 - After three long years, Patrick graduated from speech.

Emma went to the Valley of Fire with friends.

There was the OneRepublic concert in Rexburg.

Ruby played an Indian mother in her Lewis and Clark play...while Dexter charmed everyone as the Cat and the Fiddle in his class production!

Ryan sang in the stake choir for the Palm Sunday Celebration.

Palm Sunday in Rexburg.

Hey guys thank you for supporting during my mission and praying for me. It has meant so much and I felt all your prayers. After talking to my mission prez and family I've decided that I will be coming home this week for some help with my mental health. Im sad to be leaving Ecuador my new home but its what's best for me right now and with all the crazy experiences here its better. I wanna share a little of my testimony that i know that the gospel helps so many people through the missionaries, I know that the gospel can change anyone's lives for the better and have seen it so much, watching everyone's life change for the better is the best feel ever. Thank you for supporting me guys. Love you all!  

And now we look forward to April...
