It was Avery's birthday - the day we got there and we were able to celebrate with her.
Cayden played T-ball . It was fun to be able to see him running bases and hitting the ball
and being able to get his uniform dirty(which seemed to be the goal of each little boy) ,
By the time Sunday was midway-- everyone was tired...........sooooooooooooooooo
nap time.

We were able to go to Lynn & Jakes this past week end for the blessing of their sweet
baby girl, Annabelle. Prior to arriving in California, we stopped at my parents for the night
then went on to Arizona to see the boys and their families. We hadn't seen them since Nov.
It was so fun to be with their families and enjoy the grandchild. What a blessing it is to have
family.
Scott and Jason drove with us on to Calif. (we traded who rode with whom) , we got a chance to visit and then spend Saturday nite together. What fun that was --all of us together for a while. We missed the spouses, and other grandchildren, but you usually can't have everything.
While on our trip we learned that we would need to take our 5th wheel to live in, because the landlords around there don't rent for less than 1 year(because of the law school in the area) .
We began to try to figure out how to live in the one we had. It was nice but made only for camping(the closet and bathroom area were tiny) (closets-2, were about 12 inches wide each)
So we began to look to trade for something else. Time being limited --we were afraid we would have to buy new($$$$$$$$$$$$$$$) , There was intervention, and we found a nice used one 2001, with a front closet and larger bath. It is only 1 ft. longer than we had.....
So now we are packing it, after unpacking the other.
We will begin to pack our clothes--we need to pack for the MTC and the trailer. Things are starting to move fast. Our wheels are spinning.

We are finding that one needs to be leaving the country (area)
to get people to visit. We have been blessed with family visits
this past weekend. We were able to have my neice come up
during spring break and spend a couple of days just visiting,laughing and playing games.
On Sunday my Sister and her daughter came to visit on their way to
check out BYU Idaho. Lauralyn was accepted for Fall. She was checking
it our for a place to live. It was a short visit for all, but we had a
fun time laughing and remembering.

What a blessing family is to all. The support and knowledge that we are loved unconditionally is comforting.
The family plan under the direction of our Father in Heaven is
so complete. What would we do without such an eternal plan.

I love my family.

The Mission call came ----------New Hampshire Manchester ---------
We leave for the MTC the 14th of April


We will be teaching and serving as a tour guides at the
Joseph Smith Memorial Center, in Sharon, VT.

We are so excited -- looking forward to a new adventure --the Lord knows that couples need adventures just like 19 year old boys. It keeps them from killing each other. Of course, one doesn't get a new companion if they have differences. We will keep in touch. Let us know if you would like to be on our update list.
