• My dear friend Elizabeth's dad, Dennis passed away last week so Monday night we went over for his viewing. He fought a hard battle with cancer and our hearts go out to their entire family.
• On Tuesday morning Todd and I attended his funeral. That night Addy played and I coached her last indoor soccer game. We had a good little team this season. Addy learned indoor moves much faster and it forces you to gain better footwork skills.

• Tuesday was also April Fools' Day.  This is not my favorite thing to celebrate but I did put food coloring in the bottom of the cereal bowls in the morning so when the milk was poured in it turned the milk crazy colors. Brynn and Dad tried to trick me by covering Brynn's face with ketchup and saying Bodee hit her! Too bad she couldn't quite keep a straight face although for a second there I did panic!

• Brynn started swim team with the Lehi Frenzy this week. This first week was swim camp so it was two hours every day. (Usually she only practices twice a week for 45 minutes). Here she is being introduced to the team on her first day. (Can you see her standing between the two coaches?) 

• On Friday, the last day of swim camp Brynn participated in a mock swim team meet. Although she is not the competition team yet it was good for her to see what a meet was all about. We got there and she was warming up with the others and I thought, "Does she even know what she's suppose to do?" So I ran to the pool and explained this was a race and she had to swim as fast as she could across the pool. She was signed up for two events. 25 freestyle and 25 backstroke. Brynn did great and for being so young kept up with the others. She was excited to see both Todd and Grandma Bassett in the stands cheering her on!
• The first picture is what they wrote on her arm so she knows her event, heat, and lane numbers. We have a lot to learn about this whole swimming thing:)

• Saturday morning we listened to conference and ran some errands. The kids love the car wash because they get to spray the cars with soap from inside.

• We stopped by home depot and realized it was the kid building day. All the kids built bird feeders. They really are cool. There was a Chinese speaking family at our worktable so Addy talked to them for a bit. Her language skills are so amazing! After building we ran into Todd's parents and hung out with them for a bit, then we did our own shopping. We pretty much spent two hours there!

• Saturday night Todd went to Priesthood session and dinner with his dad and brothers. The boys just keeping the tradition alive! After Todd got back I headed to a surprise birthday party for one of my friends. The ladies had a mean four square and double dutch competition going on. It was tons of fun! I seriously love the ladies in my ward!
• Of course this is how we roll during Sunday morning session of conference. Wow...I'm so glad we get so much out of it. Good thing we can read conference in the Ensign:) Actually there were lots of great talks I did get to hear.

• We headed over to Chris and Cathy's for Sunday afternoon session after a family drive and ended up eating dinner there. Bodee crashed on the way home. Life is just too much fun! I love the legs crossed and the socks over the jeans. (I can't even believe he was willing to wear jeans all of a sudden!)

• Bodee playing the piano with both his hands and his feet. Talented kiddo!
