Things of Spring

Beautiful spring time in Provo is best admired walking through it. We gathered everyone who could make it for the (now) annual Temple to Temple walk. The weather was gorgeous, I especially love strolling through BYU campus and the old neighborhoods in Provo. And the company can't be beat!





I look forward to Women's Conference even more now that Paisley can join me. In years past I would meet up with sisters, Mommy and even Granny would join us and I have such great memories of that. Now it seems it is usually at the end of a busy Saturday, but Paisley is glad to join. And we usually grab dinner or a treat after so it's a real treat!
 I found this fabric at JoAnne's and thought it would look so cute on little P as a boho style flower girl dress. I was right!
 We decided it needed to be a few inches longer so she could wear it with her wedge shoes. Paisley had the idea to add a cute ruffle at the bottom, so I've since done that. Paisley continues to be darling as can be!
 She was especially excited for her 4th grade program: Utah, This is the Place! She volunteered to be in an Indian dance. She looked so cute up there doing her thing.






Zeke went to a friends birthday party up at Rock Canyon Park. The mom texted this picture to me and told me how Zeke is talked of fondly by her daughter.
And finally, Eli had his big World Fair project to mark the end of 6th grade reports. He and friends chose Peru and did real good!
Eli's days at Lakeview Elementary are numbered!
We took the kids to the new Batman Lego movie. You know, it was quite entertaining! I chuckled when I saw Paisley bringing in this giant stuffed animal to snuggle during the show.

I took a two week online makeup course. It was really so much fun, I learned loads of information and really just sponged up every second. It was all about great products to try- both high end and drug store brands, all sorts of techniques and tips etc. I always dreamed I'd work at a makeup counter and do makeovers all day. I love the transformation makeup can do, and was really fascinated with the whole experience. We had these "assignments" and had to send in pictures to show we understood the technique. We spent two days on lashes! I can't imagine wearing these to the grocery store, but they were fun for the day.
There was probably the most emphasis on brows. Our assignment was to send in a pic of no brows, then one with applied techniques. I just left one side undone, one side done. I passed! It was fun to see everyone's pictures and see what a difference brows really make!

And finally, good ol' St. Patty's day rolled around. 
 Adren isn't here in the mornings to join in on the fun anymore. I think Zeke's green is hiding because that is how he is.

The Exciting and Miscellaneous

 Zeke got his learners!!! This was easy-peasy, first try. He is an excellent driver, though he says he does not feel super confident. Maybe it is because it is kid number four, but I have all the confidence in him. What a guy! We had a fun family gathering at Cash's house. Fun because ALL of the Boc's were there. They haven't all been together for years- like since before Grayson's mission. They all gathered for Matt and Abby's 30th anniversary! Sooo sweet. Look at this bunch! I love this average summer day in the Geertsen household. I am working in my bathroom. I will share my game plan directly... Jonny... P-Day phone calls with Adren are the best. He just gets whomever is around, sometimes it's just the Parentals. I took this screenshot of Cade, Ashley and Jon all on Mount Timp! Many in the family joined that day. This is the second summit on that mountain in a month for Jonny! Just a pretty screenshot from the doorbell cam.   Paisley has been asked to Prom b...

May Celebrations and Love!

Our little Paisley and all of her little friends are graduating from High School and all of us mothers cannot believe it! My dear friend and current Young Women's President, Elin, set up a beautiful evening for the girls and mothers to celebrate each one of them. It was lovely and touching and very special. These girls are the best! Despite the scaffolding that has been a staple for way too many weeks I care to count, I always appreciate our coming-to-life spring yard. Everything is filling in nicely. It is amazing how big our trees and bushes have become in hardly no time! But that scaffolding! You can't really tell, but it is quite the maze to get in the front door. The porch area may need to be removed just so that people can enter safely on the Homecoming Day.  My friend Kelly reminded our CRU when we replaced our faces onto her family portrait when she arrived home from living abroad for a time. We so funny! More windows being installed. Hooray! I snapped these as I headed...

Happy Anniversary to Jon & Lindsey!

Happy 25 Years to us! We spent the weekend at Snowbird at the lovely resort. It was all so pretty! Our room had such gorgeous views of the mountainside. I texted this pic to Adren of Pfeifferhorn, a mountain he summited with his dad once. I looked at that, marveling that my boy has been there! We took the tram up to the top of the mountain to enjoy panoramic views all around. One of the days it was nice to say, "The only thing on our schedule is a tram ride and dinner reservations". After so much hussle, it was nice to not have a whole lot to do. Chillin' with Jonny was really nice and good for us. It was a good reminder that we really enjoy each other. I mean, we knew that, but it is nice to spend a weekend together when you don't have a million other things going on. When we got back, I dived right back into our big event at work, our annual Give Hope Gala. This one was fun because Jon got to attend with me. It was a fun evening with him and my work friends. Off we ...
