Caleb's baptism, 2nd of May 2015

1. This weeks post begins with the snowy weather we have had.
It seemed colder than during the winter. But it didn't last too long.

2. Dad was going to do some cooking in the fire pit with 
his 11 year old scouts, but the weather didn't permit.
So they roasted marshmallows over a little tuna fish can burner in the family room. 

3. Noelle and their two new cats. One of the kittens got run over by a car,
so this is a new one on the right.

4. April is birthday month. We had Mel, Rob, Nikki, Scott, Dad, Caleb, and Tom
I hope I didn't forget anyone. Both Scott and Caleb turned 8.
Here is Caleb ready to blow out his candles

5. Not a surprise that he gets new trucks!

6. Our twins keep growing! They are both over  8 pounds.

7. We spent Sunday evening visiting and recording John singing.
Here is John and Stacey at the piano. It is such a blessing to have his Tyroid cancer all done and over with. Because it was discovered so early, things are so much better than they might have been.At one time, they didn't know if he would have much of a singing voice left.
I am very thankful to Heavenly Father for all the blessings He sends to our family. 
We are so  very blessed and I am so grateful to Him. 

8. While Dad, John, and Stacey went to Los Angeles for the surgery, I got to
stay at home with the kids and we did school! I had so much fun. They all amaze
me at how much they know and how much they enjoy learning. We are watching a You Tube on butterflies for part of the science they did. Stacey sure works hard to provide them with an education.
Kirsten, Timmy, Maren, and Sam

9. One big cucumber to go with lunch just wasn't enough for Timmy, so
he is peeling another one. 

10. Our art project was to tie a quilt for Sam and Timmy's new bed when they get it.
We tied a Star Wars quilt, and I forgot to take a final picture of it.



11. We were there for Danny's court of honor where he received his 2nd class.
He is almost done with his 1st class also.


12. Home from California in time for Caleb's baptism.
Congratulations, Caleb. This is such an important decision in your life.Next week Scott will be baptized. It is important to remember the promises you have made. While cleaning in the Genealogy room, I came across a notebook with memories that our children wrote about when they were baptized. I need to share them again. I don't know if you even remember writing them.
This is a very important covenant they are making with Heavenly Father

13. Marion and boys were up along with Rob's family and David's family for the baptism.
It was time to finally get the chickens moved out to the chicken coop.
The chickens had much more tender loving care from the grandkids than we
could have given them. We also worked hard to get things ready in the basement for
Tom to brings Mel and kids in next week.They will stay there while they locate a house for them to live in. Thank you to all the grandkids who helped with work this weekend. We sure appreciate it.





14. Of course, a good time was had by all. I didn't take very many pictures because we were so busy, but here are Caleb, Scott, Robert, and Isaac on the trampoline.

Skit time. Can you guess who?

I just want to tell all of you how important it is when we make a covenant with our Father in Heaven. It is very sacred an He will always keep His end of the covenant and has blessings in store for us beyond anything we can imagine.
May we all remember back to the covenants we have made. and I admonish all of us to strive
to strengthen our relationship with our Father in Heaven through personal prayer with Him each day. 
And may we all call down the protective blessings upon our families as we kneel to pray as a family each morning and night.
I love you all.
