Spring is springing

I live in Utah, so I don't think it is quite safe to say that spring has sprung, but it is springing. I can just feel it coming. This last week has just been gorgeous! It is just so easy to have a good day when the sun is shining and the air is warmish. And over the last couple of weeks I have had so many good days. It has been one of those times that I feel so perfectly content with where I am at in life. I have had so many little things bring such joy and I just feel like all is right with my little world at this moment. Here are a few of the things that make life so good right now.

Liz and Nathan both did so well in their Piano Festival. They also did amazing on their report cards, but mostly I just love watching them grow up. They have such a desire to do what is right and are so kind to those around them and are just great kids! What would I do without them?

Michael has done over 100 EXTRA math sheets at school. Not only is he doing great in school but I just think he is an amazing kid. He has a lot going on in that head of his and I love it when he gives me a peek into all that he is thinking. His teacher wrote a note on his homework sheet, "Thanks for being a great teacher today." I love that he is so eager to help those around him. Oh, and yesterday when he was home sick from Primary he watched the Book of Mormon stories DVD and followed along in the reader with every story. I LOVE THIS KID! (Oh, and though slightly embarrassed to do so, he gives me a kiss on the cheek every night after scriptures. Somehow it means more knowing that he is really making an effort.)

Megan had a cute program at school called "Friends: the Musical". She learned her part really well and enjoyed singing with her class. She lost a front tooth and looks darling. She loves school and is so excited about every little thing going on in life. She is becoming a really good reader. She tries the hard words and seems to be learning at lightening speed. I am so proud of her. She is just so much fun to have in our house.

And here are my tulips! I love that they are coming up. It helps me know that spring really is coming and tulips just make me happy. Even just a few days ago I couldn't see this many coming up and they weren't this green. So excited to see them all bloom!

March is a big month at our house with lots of birthdays near the end, and I have been planning these fun birthdays for months. Usually January and February drag a little bit, but this year has been just perfect. I am glad March is here and I am looking forward to surprising three of my favorite people in just a couple of weeks.
