Behold, The Video Extravaganza

A few months ago I was called as the Ward Videographer. Basically I was called to help the youth in my ward to make a video that would then be presented at the Stake Video Extravaganza. We spent several weeks writing, practicing, making costumes, and filming. Please keep in mind that this video was filmed in a grand total of 3 hours, on a small handheld camera, and edited with the most basic editing software. That said, I am very proud of the final product and had a wonderful time working with the youth to make this video.

 I have also uploaded the video to youtube and you can view it by following this link:

Intramural Football

Cody keeps telling me that he is done playing football, and then he signs up for one more season. I don't mind as long as he doesn't get hurt- he doesn't have a good record though. 

This time is different because the teams get to play in the Golden Gophers Stadium and this appealed to Cody :) 

The TCF Bank Stadium at the University of Minnesota. 

The 'Minnesota Mafia' in action. 

Cody plays with some other guys in his program. They also played football in the fall and basketball in the winter.

Easter Weekend

I know this post is a little late, but better late than never!

Easter weekend also happened to be my Spring Break, oh how I wish I could have that week all over again! Only 23 more work days to go, but who's counting? :) 

For those of you that don't know, Cody is a golf nut. He talks all the time about quitting school and becoming a professional golfer, he dreams about golfing, and I regularly catch him taking practice swings in our kitchen (with and without golf clubs). The weather has been so nice lately that Cody has been able to play quite often- but not enough according to him :) 

On Friday we were able to go on a golfing trip to Red Wing, MN with our friends, Anna and Mitch. Cody and Mitch golfed and Anna and I drove the carts and chatted. I had a blast! It was a bit chilly, but it was nice to be outside and talk with friends. Unfortunately I was only able to snap two pictures before my camera battery ran out :(

After golf we drove to Prescott and had lunch outside on the patio. It felt so nice to be outside, I even got my first sunburn of the season. But that's not saying much because it doesn't take much sun for my nose to turn bright red :) 

Saturday I worked on editing the youth video for the Video Extravaganza and dyed Easter eggs. 

Behold the ugliest egg of Easter

This picture doesn't do it justice, it was pretty nasty.

Growing up we always got a new church outfit for Easter. My sweet mom sent Cody and I an Easter basket fully stocked with candy and a tie and dress for us to wear on Sunday. 

Happy Easter!

Summer Internship

It's official! Cody and I will be spending the summer in Lee's Summit, Missouri!

Cody will be doing an internship at St. Lukes East and I will be at the pool and working on our scrapbook :) We are excited to know where we will be going and I am grateful that it is only 8 hours away! (Cody applied to a few places in Florida that would have taken us 25 hours to drive to.) We are also excited because we will only be 4 hours away from Cody's parents who will be living in Oklahoma soon. Hopefully we will have plenty of chances to go visit them this summer.

We are grateful for the fun adventure that is ahead of us!
