Keep an eye on these Pansies

During a recently tryint time, my dear friend Cindy (Bear) Vielstich sent me a little package containing this pink bowl, some dirt and tiny Pansy seeds, which I carefully planted, watered and whispered to over the next few weeks.

I prepared a rich bed of soil for my Babies and transplanted them today, can you see 8 tiny shoots in the large container below?

Well, they really are in there, and I'll update you on their progress. Growing things remind us of Father in Heaven's continued care and love. That little package has brought so much joy!

Precious beads from Ghana

I should have held up my hand to show off my lovely bracelet also....can you see the matching earrings?
Bradley Reynold's Mom, Pat brought these unique hand-painted beads from Ghana, where they recently
served their Mission. The largest bead is sand mixed with resin - a beautiful speckled color. Thank you, Pat and Max.

Introducing.........Silas

Needless to say my gardening was done for a few hours in the hopes Silas would simply slither silently away. He did. I'm very careful where I put my (GLOVED!) fingers now!

Spring has come to Pringle

What fun to see the garden flourishing after a long, brutally cold winter. I am grateful for the miracle.

Girls Night

While Morgan and the other stinky boys were upstairs playing video games and eating pizza, the girls stayed downstairs in the kitchen and listened to Jason Mraz while we painted our nails - both toe and finger! I think Jenna had the best time of all....yes, those are her little "tootsies" on the bottom, right. The girls included Cindy Alder and her girls Amy (green sweatshirt) and Jenna, Sam (white shirt) and Kayla (adorable green bow) Kohlert.

Elders, Elliott, Bradley & Jeremy

This was one of the classic dinner nights, highlighted by Elliott FINALLY sitting on Elder Cover's shoulder! Bradley (as usual) looks REALLY scary, and we were thrilled to have Elder Fisher back with us.
