Wynne found a bunny in their yard which I thought was very timely as Easter is fast approaching and bunnies are somehow associated with Easter. I would like to think it's more an association with spring.
Abe checked out their SmartCam to see if there was a mother bunny around caring for her bunny. If not, it would be Thomas family bunny adoption day.
Lucky for him (and for the bunny) that a mother bunny was spotted and now all is well in the life of the bunny family.
We took McKell Childs and her husband Isaac Gillins out to dinner on a Saturday afternoon. They wanted to go to the Cheesecake Factory, but there was a 1 1/2 hour wait. That was ridiculous! So we went to Wingers instead and almost had the whole restaurant to ourselves. They are such a cute couple. We instantly liked him when we first met him and they are doing very well together in their marriage working towards completing their medical degrees--her in dental hygiene and him as an emergency room physician.
When we got out of the prison on Sunday, I noticed a text from Natalie asking if she could spend the night at our home. It made it a lot more convenient to pick her up when we were already in Draper which is halfway to Provo.
I was feeling like it was a great Sunday to come up for a visit because we were going to Dad and Mom's for a family dinner that evening. That meant Natalie got all excited about seeing Rachel once again.
Brooke was making us laugh (hysterically) at the family dinner as she was taking care of her computerized baby for a school over-the-weekend project. She named her baby Karen and Karen had been driving her crazy with all her needs that had to be met.
And then the whole day on Sunday, Karen hadn't cried, or needed a diaper change, or even needed to be fed. We were all afraid Brooke had killed her baby.
Brooke assured us she had been taking good care of her baby and was baffled by the change in behavior of her baby that day.
It was a nice evening being together with my parents and the other members of the family who could attend who were not sick. That meant Ben's family was not there as they have been sick for quite a while.
Natalie did her laundry which she was here. We went shopping on our way back to Provo on Monday and Natalie chose Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers for her to-go meal to eat at her apartment.
I chose not to eat lunch with Natalie because I wanted to be very hungry for our meal that evening. Jan was once again the hostess with the mostest as she had invited our friend group over for a salmon dinner.
It was all very yummy!!! As always, it was nice to visit with our friends. We were sad Bruno and Colleen were not there that night because Bruno wasn't feeling well. But we enjoyed the yummy dessert they had contributed to the meal. LaVona loaded up a plate of food to take over to them after the dinner.
It is always impressive to see Jan's table decorations. LaVona had brought colored eggs as favors and they had some silly fortunes inside which made us all laugh. Goodwood seems to be our go-to restaurant when we want to meet somebody for dinner in the Draper area. This time we dined with Brenden Stark, one of our self-proclaimed, extremely shy missionaries.
We had the cutest server and Glen tried his hand at match-making, but she said she has a boyfriend. Oh well. Better luck next time, Brenden.
We have been having a bit of a run on sickness. Glen had a sinus infection a couple of months ago which required an antibiotic and some cough syrup for all his coughing. I got a scratchy throat and a cough, but it wasn't bad and wasn't settling in my lungs. I recovered on my own.
Then not long after that Glen started coughing his head off again. WHAT??!!?? WHY??!!?? After listening to him hacking for nearly two weeks, he finally decided to go to the doctor. This time he had bronchitis which required him to have another antibiotic.
By that time, I had started coughing. What did I expect with Glen's coughing germs all throughout the house!!
Within days my cough had gone to my lungs and I knew I needed help with all the wheezing accompanying the coughing. Glen had felt sick with his coughing, but I had not been feeling sick at all, which was a little bit of a mystery as to why I was struggling so much to breathe.
I took myself to urgent care Saturday night to get some prednisone. The doctor confirmed I was not sick and said it was some bad asthma going on in my lungs and mentioned all the blossoms were probably causing an allergy reaction.
How unfortunate that my allergy shots have not been working out and I am getting no relief from allergies from them this season. UGH!!!!
We had invited Rebecca's and Ben's families over to spend general conference Sunday with us. Unfortunately, Ben had gotten sick from all the sickness already in their household which had been going on for weeks.
He sent photos of Kade with his red eyes and declined the invitation to join us. Fortunately, none of them had Covid.
Caroline had requested the traditional ebelskiver breakfast before the morning session of conference began.
Looks like the ebelskivers were a hit with the adults as well as the children.Then we all settled in for our general conference viewing.
This is how the Excell boys were tuning in to conference.
General conference weekend is always a wonderful time to anticipate. Then it seems all too quickly the two-day conference sessions are ended and then we start studying the conference talks on our own.
Such good things we heard and felt very spiritually lifted through that experience.
Glen keeps lining up dinner appointments with missionaries, so I just look at it as I don't have to cook! We met Ashley Blair at Olive Garden. She is a very animated person and it was fun to get caught up on her life.
We found ourselves back at Goodwood another night having dinner with Kailey Quist and her husband Will Crismon. They are a cute couple who have been married a couple of years now. It is nice to see these missionaries figuring out their futures together.
And here we are at yet another restaurant--El Matador--eating with Glen's sister Bonnie and Dave at their favorite restaurant. Feeling very full after all that Mexican food.
Spring break is in full swing for the Golden family this week. They enjoyed another fun family excursion to Goblin Valley where the children are very happy exploring the area and scampering over the rock formations.
