This has been a crazy year so far, have I said that yet? March was yet another crazy month (and it is not even over yet!).
We started out the month going to the SLC Temple with Jeff's parents and Traci (his youngest sister). We went up in the morning and then went to lunch in the Joseph Smith Memorial building. It was a beautiful day and we met Elder Nelson in the temple!
Here are some pictures from the Joseph Smith Memorial building.

Becca, Traci, Beth, & Tom - sadly no pictures of peoples faces!

The view from the building.
The day before Traci went into the MTC, our good friend Charisse came to visit. Tim & Charisse moved to Georgia last fall for Tim to go to Georgia Tech for Grad school. Charisse came out in March to defend her thesis. The night before we got to have a girl's night. Which was so much fun! (I believe there is picture evidence, but I don't have it). The next day (the day Traci went into the MTC) Tim & Charisse came over to chat for a few minutes before Traci went in and Charisse had to defend. Tim surprised Charisse and came out to watch her defend!
After we saw Tim & Charisse we went to lunch with Jeff's parents, Traci, and his Grandpa. We went to Magleby's Fresh & 180 Tacos (Traci wanted a few more before she went in!) Then we went to the Provo Temple to take pictures. Once it was time we drove over to the MTC and dropped her off. It was so strange to pull up with her in the car and a few minutes later off she went. We will miss her, but are so excited for her!!

There were lots of cameras and she got bored..

There are pictures of me with Traci, but on other people's cameras. Got to get those :)

A few days later, my brother David came for a visit. He had a conference in Park City and was able to come out a day early and leave a day late! He stayed with us Sunday and Friday nights. Sunday, we mostly spent the day catching up. I decided we all needed a little exercise so we drove him around campus to show him the changes and then took a walk along the path that goes along the south part of campus.
Dave & Jeff at the duck pond, refusing to turn for a picture.
I finally got them to turn....
Dave & I-it was quite bright so of course you can't see either of our eyes. Roberts curse.
Friday, we went Wallaby's for lunch and Bajio for dinner with Dave. We went back to BYU, this time to go to the BYU bookstore. Dave found a cute shirt for Sabrina, but couldn't quite bring himself to pay bookstore prices for himself. Costco has had nice BYU polos for the last couple months so we went there, naturally they didn't have them this time! Other than that the boys spent some time playing video games and Dave & I stayed up late chatting. The next morning he left first thing to go visit some friends and go to the airport. We had some errands to run so it worked out nicely.
The Sunday after Dave left we had a free beautiful Sunday afternoon so we decided to take advantage. We went for a walk along the Provo river trail. We had fun feeding the ducks and Louie had fun making friends with the horses.
Louie & the two horses checking each other out.
I am not sure, but I think they touched noses.
