Pretty Joy

Here are some recent pictures of Joy. We need to talk to her about not driving and talking on the phone at the same time (1st picture). And in the other pictures, she was so cute eating lunch on my chair today. Such a grown up girl!

Things are good here. We're excited for the Llewellyns to visit next weekend. And we're excited about Jon's Parade home doing so well and we can't wait to see it! Hope you all have a great weekend!

Love,
Aubrey

Spring Break! (3rd time's the charm, I hope)

Dear Family and Friends,

This week we had Spring Break and we spent the first half of it sharing a stomach bug, but then we got better. Mark took off Thursday and Friday so we could have fun as a family, and we were so blessed that Thursday and Friday were the most beautiful days we've seen in forever. It was sunny and a little over 70 degrees. On Thursday we did some cleaning and playing around the house. Then we went to Macaroni Grill for dinner and then we went to a park together. Then on Friday after some yard work and Joy's nap, we went to the zoo. Everyone else in Boise had the same idea, so it took a half hour to find a parking spot. Then we only had about an hour left to explore the zoo, but it wasn't as crowded as I thought it would be and we had just enough time to see all the best animals and take a ride on the carousel. In the last picture, it's hard to see, but BethAnne is sticking her head up in a plastic dome in the prairie dog enclosure and they're looking at each other. Then to finish off the day we went to Primos Pizza Buffet (we had a coupon) and that was lots of fun. We are really glad we could have these fun days as a family and now we're looking forward to a nice, quiet General Conference weekend. I hope you are all doing well. We love you!

Love,
Aubrey
