More Spring Stuff....

This was my balloon and flowers from the boys when I got home from my last day of school this semester. Yay! only one more year to go!I love flowers of all colors and all kinds. Actually I prefer not to have a dozen roses but rather a variety and colorful! I love Daisies.We hiked Bridal Veil Falls again. It is so beautiful there. I love the mountains!

Dave and the boys look for fossils so they can show them to Grandpa Truman.Momma and her boys.Brothers.

Spring.....

First I must say that yesterday I turned in my last paper for the semester.
WooHoo!!!! One more semester over, two down, two more to go!
I feel so blessed. I know I could not do this all without some Divine help.
I am so thankful for the help I receive daily!

NOW, to the funner picture stuff.
Ready for a rainy Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday before Easter Sunday...I love these two boys! We missed the Easter Egg hunt at the park by about 5 minutes so we had our own when we got home.

Easter Sunday was a beautiful Sun Shiny day! This is just before church... I love to have kids in crisp new clothes, especially nice shirts like these (that only cost $5 at Wal-Mart).

After Church we had some family time outside enjoying the Sun!

I think they have the cutest faces and the Best big Brown eyes ever!

I haven't taken many pictures lately so when I had a day off from school I had them take a couple shots....
He wanted to get this tough look for some reason...

David Jr.
But he really is a softy sweet heart!

My little Men!
Look at that face...

Joey Truman
He is such a nice boy as well, he's our comic by nature.

So there are some pictures. I have a lot more that I'll save for another day...

What I have been doing...

This is an article from the Deseret News about a project that one of my classes has been working on. Check it out if you want. This just goes to show how Organizing really can get things done.

And then here is the link to the same project in the BYU newspaper. There is a picture on this link if you want to see some of my classmates and our professor. He inspires us all to "give a damn".

It is pretty interesting and something I have passion about. Social Work is Amazing!

The next Morning the Daily Herald had an article about us as well... click to check it out too!

This is our Whole class, but only 25 of us are doing the project.

Jazz Games Etc.

I have been trying to download a few more pictures but it keeps telling me a bad message error. Anyways here is some of what we have been doing lately....

Dave and his friend took their kids to a Jazz game. They lucked out because it just happened to be the Jazz Bears birthday and so they got to see a bunch of the NBA Mascots.

This is Brendon, Candace, his daughter, Joey and David. They had fun!

I am trying to post some pictures of us Iceskating, but those are the ones that won't post. Oh well. Life is good and here a couple pictures at least. :)

Easter Meaning

I was just looking on the LDS.org website to plan a little more for my lesson tomorrow and I saw this. Wanted to share. Enjoy some LDS Youtube.

I was so thankful for this talk during conference. I found great insight and hope in these words.

Happy Easter,
Marilla and Family

So much has been happening...

Well hello to anyone who reads this. Noone has said anything about missing my blogs so maybe noone reads it. I just messed up the blog by trying to update the background and maybe I'll be able to figure it out, or maybe not.
Anyways I just wanted to say how grateful I am for the blessings in my life. There are so many little things that happen that I can not deny divine intervention. I know our Father in Heaven loves each of us, and am so thankful for that knowledge.

My camera has been broken, but I think I have figured out how to use Dave's so as soon as he gets some Easter pictures downloaded I'll post them with some more thoughts. Other than that I'll just stick to facebook.

Life is good! Busy, but good. I have been enjoying getting to know more people in my Social Work cohort at BYU. We have a great group to learn with and learn from. We have been working on some projects and I am getting ready for our closing social for the year. Finals are just around the corner, in fact I have two on Tuesday.

I loved Conference last weekend! It was so nice to have my mom here and my siblings, except the oldest, Joe. I ran in the Provo half marathon on Saturday morning. It was nice and snowy. Then we were able to go to Sunday Morning session of General Conference.
Love,
Marilla

Over the weekend

I wanted to change my blog cuz the last one is way outdated, plus it is a new month, March.

Over the weekend my cousin Adam was married in the Mesa temple. It was a nice weekend.

Since Dave's job is fairly new, he could not get work off.

And since I am practically non-existent with my family for the first three days of the week, I wanted to take my boys, but Dave did not want me to, cuz he misses us too much when we leave. We decided that a great compromise was I would take Joey and David could stay

with him. We felt that it was the best decision too because then each of us could have bonding time with one of the boys, something we feel is very important. It ended up being a nice weekend. (I don't think either of the boys got yelled at the whole weekend, what a relief!) The boys fight often when they are together, they are buddies, but fight they do!

Anyways, some thoughts that I have had over the weekend are that I Absolutely L O V E my family! Husband, Sons, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, Grandparents, Mom, Brothers, and Sister(S). I say sisterS because I have more than one... My sister-in-law Tonya is amazing, she is delivering baby boy Thursday! And guess what... both of my other brothers are probably getting married, making all three of them married to older women, creating 3 big sisters for me. Actually I have more because of my hubbys sisters and sis-in-law on that side (AND I LOVE THEM), but I am just ecstatic for my brothers. I can't wait to get new family pictures when they actually tie the knot. We don't know when, and I am not saying it is for sure yet, they are not even engaged, they are both dating and really like the girls they are dating and the girls like them back!

We'll See. Our family is growing, the more the merrier! Life is good!
