This and That in April, Part 2!

After last month's post, I received this photo back from Ben with these labels.  Turns out these former companions have a fun connection with each other! 
Caleb had a fun Easter!
I texted my sister, Kathy, after I got the distressing news that my surgery might have to be postponed into July or August.  She wrote me back some uplifting things reminding me to look on the bright side and even saying: "I'm sure this news made you crumble but something sweet will come your way."
I thought that was so nice of her.  About an hour later our doorbell rang and when Grandpa got there he found this on the porch:
At first we did not  make the connection and wondered who they could be from as there was no card. Then the light bulb went off from the earlier text from Kathy.
What a fun and yummy surprise!
Speaking of Kathy, she and her husband, Reid, were in Utah recently for Claire's graduation.
They had the opportunity to go two days early and be part of the 600 "background actors" for the new season of The Chosen they are filming in Goshen, Utah.  Amazing experience for them!  She said they met people from Christian faiths from all over including Alaska and Florida and places in between who had traveled there to be part of the movie.
This is how Amelia gets her hair cut!
Elizabeth has a leadership position and she works hard at it.
 Most of Joshua's best friends are Seniors so they invited him to have dinner and hang out with them before and after Senior Ball.

Sarah at a swim meet where she did great in the 200 IM
Prom for Sarah
Camille did Sarah's hair, made cookies for the YW lesson she will teach, 
and then made breadsticks.  And she keeps crocheting amazing things.
Hannah and Kathryn got home from BYU. 
Here is Kathryn teaching Nathaniel to line dance.
There were talks in Sacrament meeting by Sam and Daniel, turkey hunting by Michael, and
visits from Perry kids after the temple baptistry where we continue to play games like this:
and find new and yummy Oreo-themed treats!
And we are finally able to get strawberries from the farms around here.
We eat some every day!
