LIONS!

The month of April came in like a lion and is leaving like a lion (SNOW!!). You gotta love Northern UT! I think the whole month should be dubbed 'LION' as that best sums up the pace of things in the Pugh household this month.

We started the month with our good friends, the Bernatz's (from Lewiston, ID)! We were so excited to have them come visit and planned out our festivities for weeks in advance. Unfortunately, the plans were dashed by the weather and our 9 inches of snow. It still turned out great and we enjoyed every minute. Unfortunately again, we got sick the night before they were to leave (SIX of us throwing up at once!). Needless to say, they left in a hurry the next morning. Hope none of them got sick. This was the start of our Spring Break!

Luckily, we recovered and the weather cleared so we headed south to spend some time in the sun with my parents in St. George. Kendall drove us down thus completing his 50 hours of driving time for his license. I always say that if they can drive fine through the Salt Lake traffic and construction, they are ready! This doesn't do miracles for my high blood pressure however!

Our next big event was Junior Prom. The girls and I spent that day in Tooele at Mandy's bridal shower (my oldest niece). We got home in time to make dinner for Kendall's group. They had a lot of fun.




Weslie's performance with the Cache Children's Choir was next. Craig Jessop directed the choir and it was fabulous. They presented songs from around the world.

Shannon and Kaylee sang in church. As I listened, I realized how much we will miss Kaylee when she leaves for college in Sept. Luckily, BYU-ID is not too far for us to visit. The girls all sponsored a girl's camp fundraiser. We baked goodies and provided all you can eat soup and bread, then the girls provided entertainment. They decided to do a "spoof" using the Lawrence Welk show. They also included Braden and Landon. It was hilarious. I regret to say, I didn't film it. For family coming --- we'll definitely have to re-enact this!

Kaylee's strings ensemble went to state performing Bach's Brandenburg Concerto III. It was spectacular!!! Again, I didn't video tape --- Argh!!! They got the number one score. Her orchestra group also made it to state and will go May 15th.

Finally! Kendall completed his eagle project!! He did a bike rodeo for the elementary schools. It went really well despite the weather and he put so much prep time into it. It was a good learning experience for him as he had to address PTA groups, the fire dept. and the police. Whew!

Oh - I'm just adding to this entry. I've had it typed but haven't downloaded pictures so it has taken a week or so - I'll edit my blog this weekend SO check back.

New item to report --- Weslie got her hair cut to donate it to 'Locks of Love'. It looks really cute.
