I had a busy week last week. I made it through okay. My team got killed against Eagle. It was so painful. They are playing a lot of teams that have better skills and probably better coaches no doubt. We lost by a lot against Victory as well but that game at least didn't feel as painful. We only have 2 games left. I hope we win at least one more game.
On Thursday we had a meet up for local VIPKID teachers. They had an Easter egg hunt for the kids and the teachers. I won a Dino key chain and another teacher switched with me so I could have my own Dino doll. I'm so excited! I'll post a pic when I get it. The weather was terrible and we got rained out.
On Friday late afternoon/early evening I met up with my sister and sister in laws so we could carpool to our airbnb in Hagerman ID. We were trying to find a spot where we could sort of meet in the middle for the Eastern and Western Idahoans. My sister flew in from Seattle. The airbnb was actually pretty cute and was right next to the water. It had tons of windows and it was like indoor camping! My favorite way to camp. We ate dinner and gabbed that evening until late. The next day we attempted a little hike that turned out to be a walk in a field! Ha. We got some sunshine and fresh air at least. The weather on Saturday was perfect, sunny and no wind. Amazing! We ate food and played games. Later in the evening we went and checked out the Malad gorge and 1000 springs. It was a fun little outing. That night we watched a movie. We got up and left this morning. I was happy to get back early and spend some time with my family and get some things done today. Overall it was a really fun successful girls trip.
While I was gone Scott spent the entire day trying to salvage our sad backyard. He picked up compost, sod, and a rototiller and worked all day long. I'm still worried the grass won't grow back there. We will see what happens this summer. Keep your fingers crossed for us!

| I forced everyone to participate in Speak Out! So fun. I kill at that game. Teaching English to Chinese students for the past 2 years is finally paying off! Ha. |

| Taking this bridge picture was no joke! We could not get the timing right on the camera. Anna kept running back and forth. It was torturous! We were shocked we actually got a decent one! Everyone was there except for Christy and Amanda. |

I am so glad that you are doing this with your Mom and your sisters! My mom and sisters talked about doing this and never did. I lost my mom when I was in my mid-thirties and I regret we didn't make a point of having special time together like this. You are wise! How great of Scott to tackle a huge back yard project. Hope it turns out to be great for your family.
