I NEED YOUR HELP!

I found out last week that my stake primary presidency does NOT put on the baptism program, and that the families of those getting baptized have to do it. I found out today that Lindsay is now the only child being baptized from my ward and I have to pull together the whole thing. So . . . I am looking for a few volunteers to help out :) maybe with a talk or leading music. Let me know if you would be willing to help out. THANKS! Remember, it is only one week away.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to LINDSAY


Lindsay's birthday is on SUNDAY, APRIL 20. I can't believe that she is 8 years old.

Please join us for cake and ice cream at 6:00 pm Sunday!
We will try to get in touch with everyone with info about her baptism, but just in case, it is on May 3 at 9:30 am. We will have a brunch following it.

BOY OH BOY DID WE HAVE FUN!


Yes! We finally got to tend Bridger. What a cutie. We had soooo much fun playing with him. He is so sweet even when he is sick and not feeling so hot. THANKS Ashlie & Kyle for letting us have a turn :)

Well it has been awhile since I posted anything. I knew that would be the problem when I started this. On Saturday, Rick flew to Vegas to help Erin and Clay pack up and then he drove the moving truck home while they drove their cars home. They are officially back! They are going to stay with us for a few weeks. While they were loading up and driving back, Dan and I were trading rooms around here and cleaning up. Dan agreed to move his bed upstairs and let Clay and Erin have the basement in exchange for use of Clay's Xbox 360 and Wii system. So, Dan and I spent the day moving his bed upstairs and the bed from upstairs down to the basement. I was pretty tired by the time we were through moving everything around. Lindsay is sooo excited to have them back.

Alyssa was really glad Erin was here today to help her load her new Ipod that she bought herself (she was glad that she had saved money). Erin taught her how to transfer her CD's to the computer and load them. Now she is walking around with ear plugs in her ears, oblivious to everything. I am not sure I am going to like her having it if she isn't going to listen to anyone. While we were shopping for the Ipod this morning, we also bought one of those Ripstick skateboard things. I am not sure how anyone actually maneuvers those things, but Dan is actually quite good at it. Hopefully it will keep him out of the house a little bit and provide some exercise :)

Well, since there are so many people who live at this house at the moment, I think I will go beg a few to play a game of Settlers or something with me!!

Hopefully this little update will keep Kailey happy (hehe).

I really enjoyed listening to conference. Yesterday I accomplished a lot while I was listening. I needed to re-caulk the downstairs bathtub (because it was really gross) so I sat and scraped off all the old caulking while I was listening. Daniel was helping me. When they asked for all of the Aaronic priesthood holders to stand and sustain the new prophet, Daniel stood up and raised his hand. It brought tears to my eyes to realize that he was actually listening and that he took it seriously. I LOVE you Dan! You are a great example to me.

Poor Lindsay. She felt horrible all day. Her tummy has been rumbly and sick. She hasn't been able to eat anything all day. She was hoping to feel good today considering she has limped around for the past four days because she bruised her knee cap by smacking it on the trampoline. Hopefully she will wake up feeling better.

Well, I just got through cutting Daniel's hair (because I promised him I would do it this weekend, and forgot--so in order to make good on my promise I had to do it at 10 pm Sunday). Now I need to get to bed because I have to be at the elementary school at 7 am to register Alyssa for summer camp. Can you believe she wants to go away from me for five whole days. She said that she won't even get homesick (I wasn't worried about her missing me).
