This Tuesday the 28th of April is Chelsea's 14th birthday!! Yikes!! She's getting so old already. It's so scary to have the kids grow up so fast!! Maude has testing for her kidneys and reflux the 28th of this month as well. Hope all goes well. This will determine if her condition has improved or deteriorated. We have the missionaries coming over tomorrow to teach the family, and we are all excited to meet the new elder we were assigned at the beggining of this week. Hope he has something to offer to our family or us him!! Jared is going paint balling tomorrow with the priesthood! I know he's really looking forward to it, and quote ,unquote, "Mormon Hunting!!!" lol That's about it. Til' I write again. Take care!

Coloring Easter Eggs

Easter was great!!! My folks were up, and so was my sister and her family. The kids did an egg hunt, colored eggs, ate candy, and played for hours on end. We adults stayed up late playing scattergories! Whe had a blast!! Dad sure was the life of the party!!!! Monday, Maude and Kayley got their ears pierced, and after we all went to Chuck E Cheeses. Mom and dad flew out later that afternoon. We were all sad to see them go. Jared and I headed towards home, but decided on our way to take an unscheduled detour to the beach for the night. We woke up Tuesday morning, and went to see some of the members of his family. We had a nice visit. Got home late, and are still trying to recover.

Maude and Chelsea will be getting baptized on the 11th of April and be confirmed Easter Sunday! The girls are very excited! I'm excited as well not only for the covenants my children will be entering into, but also because my sister and family will be coming up , and my folks will be flying into town as well! Can't hardly wait to see them all! We have a new missionary that has never baptized anyone due to the fact he has been out for a mere 3 weeks!! We are his guinea pig family!!! lol Chelsea chose to have Elder Reed baptize her as opposed to Papa! Maude will be getting baptized by my father. So glad my father could make it into town for the ocassion. Hope to see you all at the reunion this summer though!!!!!
