Easter Weekend

We had a nice Easter weekend! Saturday was a long but very wonderful day. It started at 7:00 am when Bryce got home from working the night shift at Lee's and we headed out to Mendon to get our Bountiful Basket. If you don't know what that is, you are missing out! It is a basket full of fresh produce for $15. We get bread too (5 loafs for $12). It is a good deal and so yummy! When we got home, Bryce went to bed for a bit before he went fishing and I started getting ready to paint the baby's room. Washing, patching, puttying, taping, and painting! It was a big project for this little pregnant girl! I had to stop for several little breaks but I finally got the job done. I am happy with the results!

 When Bryce got home from fishing we headed over to Tremonton. My parents were out of town so we stopped by their house to feed Ned and the chickens. Then it was on to the Easter BBQ at Bryce's folks house. It was a really fun night! We colored lots of eggs, ate yummy food, hunted eggs in the dark with our flashlights, and enjoyed visiting with each other. It was a nice evening!

When we got out of bed Easter morning we had our own little festivity. I hid several eggs around the house for Bryce. Each one had a little slip of paper in it that told Bryce what he got with that egg. It was pretty simple but I sure enjoyed giggling as I watched Bryce hunt around for the eggs!
 

{Ten eggs and ten prizes}

Of course, like always, Bryce surprised me with something I have been wanting FOREVER! A no gravity lounge chair! I was SO excited when I saw it when I came into the living room! 

Thank you, honey! I love it!

The rest of our Sunday was just as good. We walked to church in the glorious sunshine, sang with the ward choir, substituted in the nursery, and visited with several neighbors as we walked back home. It really made me thankful for the life we live! I worry like crazy thinking about how we are going to make things work once our little Mr. joins our family, but it is days like yesterday that remind me life is good and we are so blessed! 

Happy Easter from the Roholts!

Conference Weekend

We had a wonderful conference weekend! It all started off with a lovely little picnic of oatmeal and grapes to watch the Saturday morning session:

I fully intended to document our entire conference weekend but it did not happen. We had a lot of fun though! We watched the Saturday morning session at our house, ran some errands, then listened to the afternoon session in the car on the way to my mom and dads house. We were meeting them so Bryce could attend the priesthood session with the Bennington boys. Priesthood session has always been a fun time. It has been a tradition for as long as I can remember that all the Bennington boys  (Grandpa, dad, uncles, cousins, and others) would go to the priesthood session together in Roy. That would leave all the girls at Grandma's to play and chat. It is fun to see how the group has changed over the years. At first, my dad and uncles were the ones going to the session. The aunts and the cousins would play all night. Now, we have new family additions and visitors going to the session as well. New cousins and babies are also around to play with. It sure is fun to see our family grow and change! 

Conference was, as always, wonderful! I got a lot out of the talks that I listened to. I especially liked the talk given by Dieter F. Uchtdorf. It was an inspirational weekend. I have a lot to feast on for the next couple months!

 

Wedding in SLC

Last weekend Bryce and I were able to attend my cousin Rachel's sealing. It was such a lovely day! The man who sealed them shared some wonderful insight before he married them and I felt the spirit burning so strong within me! It was nice to be there with Bryce, my mom and dad, and other family members. Rachel looked beautiful! She seems to be marrying a pretty good guy and I am so happy for her! Their day was lovely! The sun was shining and it was nice and warm.

After the ceremony, the Gygi clan headed over to the Lion House for lunch. It is quite pricey there but the food was yummy.

After lunch we headed over to the new City Creek Center with my mom and dad. It is a new mall just south of temple square. There has been a lot of buzz about it with it barely opening so we had to check it out! We were certainly not the only ones with the idea!! I think the whole Wasatch Front was there enjoying the day at the fancy, new outdoor mall! There were people everywhere! We walked around for a bit, got some YUMMY caramel apples, and then headed back over to temple square to find a place to sit.

Rachel's reception was in the Joesph Smith Memorial building. It was on the 9th floor so we had great views of the temple and the valley. Bryce took some cool pictures of the temple as the sun set:

It was a lovely day! I am grateful our religion is part of our life! It was nice to spend a day remembering what life is all about!

Jazz Game

One Thursday my supervisor at work sent out an email asking if anyone wanted some free tickets to that nights Jazz game. Bryce and I already had plans with Melissa and Justin Schmidt but I thought the tickets were something I better jump on. I was greedy and asked for four. Happily, four were available! After work, we headed down to SLC with the Schmidts. 

The game was great! The Jazz won in over time! 

We are so grateful we have such good friends!

The Rest of Spring Break

I never got back to the blog to tell how the rest of Spring Break went. Well, it went great! We had a relaxing couple of days! It was just what we needed! On Monday we took it easy and relaxed most of the day at home. Tuesday we headed down to the Draper temple to do a session and some family sealings. It was most wonderful! We also stopped at Ikea for a bit and got a few things. 

Wednesday was errand day. We slept in then went about getting things done: fixed a few things on the white Camry, bought a few things for the house, and went to the dentist. It was so great to spend so much time with Bryce!

Thank you Spring Break! You were just what the doctor ordered!

Spring Staycation

Spring is upon us! Last Saturday was such a beautiful day! The sun was shining and you could actually feel its warmth!! That is big for Logan right now! I put on my capris and we decided we had to take advantage of the glorious day! We met up with Tyanna and Trevor, got Subway sandwiches, and headed to Wellsville Pond for fishing and a picnic.

Thanks Tyanna and Trevor for the fun! This day was a great kick off to Spring Break 2012! I don't really get a spring break as an employee at the university, but we figured I better take at least some of it off because who knows the next time we will have a baby free break?!! We have the next 3 days all the ourselves! We don't really have many plans, but that is the beautiful of a staycation! We can do whatever we want, whenever we want! 

Yay for Spring Break 2012!
