End of Year Chaos

Today is the last Monday left of the school year. Today is also the beginning of a week of almost constant motion. This afternoon is Benjamin's 2nd grade awards ceremony. Tomorrow morning Angela has her 9 month check up closely followed by Adam's PK-3 graduation ceremony and party. Tomorrow evening I have a RS crafting group activity to make temple bags. Wednesday is Hyrum's kindergarten graduation as well as an early release day. Thursday is the last day of school and also an early release day. So basicly, I have to cram in a bunch of end of year activities into 4 days and still be able to keep laundry, dishes, and the house clean. This promises to be an interesting week. I will be posting pictures of graduations and awards later this week if all goes well.

Ben's Baptism

Ben was baptized and confirmed a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on May 2nd, 2009.  This was a very important step in his life and we are so pleased with him.

We are excitedly preparing and awaiting to arrival of family from Arizona coming next week for Ben's baptism.  We have not seen Dave, Katy, Hannah, Josie & Becky since 2006, and Becky and Josie have never been to Texas.  Since then, we have added 2 new members to our beautiful brood.  Also, it is just the motivation that I needed to free my sofa from the bondage of clean little boy clothing, and my kitchen floor from the battle it has lost against the boys' eating disasters.   Thank you to Dave & Katy's family and Becky for deciding to join us for this momentic family occasion!  We love you!

Benjamin had his baptismal interview with Bishop Black yesterday following our block of meetings.  Ben really enjoyed meeting with the bishop.  He has gotten the "all's clear" for baptism.  His baptism will be on May 2nd @ 4PM.  We are so excited for him, as is he.

Angela's Easter Pictures

I am really missing my vehicle.  The Suburban broke down a week ago during Spring Break.  We have been trying a lot of different things to get it working properly, but nothing seems to be helping so far.  Michael missed a few days of work trying to fix it or taking it to a mechanic to be worked on.  I have been walking the kids to and from school when Michael has not been able to drive them in his pickup.  Though walking is nice, I would really like to be able to drive to the store, church, etc...  Hopefully, we will be able to figure this thing out soon.
