Richardson Report

 We really sometimes do get carried away.  We ended March with a road trip to Utah.  We had some boxes for Brynne.  We decided to go the longer-ish way to Provo and go by way of Saint George Utah.  My friend Katie had moved there and it was time to check out her new digs and say hello! What can we say other than that Saint George is a magical land and we want to go back! We had beautiful hikes, tasty food, and so much fun. The second half of our trip was further north.  We got to see Brynne and Zahid (belatedly celebrating Brynne's birthday with her!!!).  We had a fun brownie day with the Grants Pass youth who are attending BYU.  We also got treated to one of Brynne's flag football games!  We were having so much fun I didn't take many photos....If I think of it I'll grab Josh's photos!

 Because what better way to kick off a month than celebrating someone's 14th birthday?! Natalie had a select group of friends come over for  dinner and games.  I think they had a good time.  I'm so grateful she has really expanded her friend group to include some wonderful girls! More snow.... Time with Grandma helping her sort closets. There was a celebration of life for a woman in our ward who is dying of brain cancer.  She's leaving six children behind.  But what she and her husband wanted was a party while she was still alive to enjoy it.  Some awesome friends threw a slam-bang party for her!   Here's Kenna taking Javin for a spin on the dance floor! Kenna competed at a solo and ensemble competition for stringed instruments.   I was her pianist.   She did  so well.  It's scary playing a solo and knowing you're getting judged for it! Our first Edward Jones tap trip since 2020 happened in March!  It was also Kenna and Na...
