March, 2019-Lots of parties!

1. We had a great farewell party for Audrey.
She is now at the Mexico MTC.
It's a beginning of the next generation.

a group of cousins. 
Isaac, Olivia, Taylor, Caleb, Max

3.Another group upstairs in the dining room.
Steven, Sara, Noelle, Katrina
 4. Other side of the table
Noelle, Katrina, Mallory, Bekah, Jared

5. Grandpa playing patty-cake with Luke.
He squealed with delight. Emily is gone for a
week at her school working on her masters.  

6. Scout banquet with Ben.
It's been a while since we've been to one. It
reminded me of Lynn Mecham and all those Scout
skits we used to have. It's an end of an era.

7.Stopped to visit with Daniel and Ellen and boys.
Daniel has a remote control something and the
boys loved it. It was great.

8. Ben's birthday party with friends.

9. It's their tradition for Tesha to make a pinata
to break for their birthday.

10. Opening presents. We had Tom's kids for the
weekend, so they really had a great time together.

11. Aiden and Taylor here to get the rest of the kids.
He's sure growing.

12. We've had a great time going over to Fielding School
to Grandparent's day. This is the Kindergarten and
Zander. We had so much fun. His class sang some songs
and we saw his room. Zander is on the back, 4th from the left. 

13. The songs were so cute. He's 2nd from the left
 14. We sure love you Zander!

15. Luke time! We sure had a lot of
fun with him this week.
 16. Linda and Luke
 17. Catharine, Luke, and Leah having snack time.
 18. Grandma Hallway, Joe's family adopted Grandma from
New Hampshire came. We played this game and it
was very fun.
 19. Leah's birthday. She is five and very
excited to go to school this fall.

 20. Daniel, Joe, David, Tom on Sunday, March 24th.
John came in for dentist appointments and it just happened 
to be when we being set apart for our mission.
It was so good to gather and visit and eat. We cooked
three roasts and by the end of the night they were all gone.
 21. Taylor, John, and Dad
 22. Singing happy birthday to the March birthdays.
We announced them all. It's the biggest month of the year:
Ryan (Spencer's), Eric & Jacoby, Ben, Spencer, Marri, Kaden,
Max, Leah, Gabe, Daniel, and Cambria.

 23. This is the first time in a very long time that we saw
Spencer on his birthday and took him a cake, and then the 
next day we saw Marri and took her something. 
It was so great to catch up on all they are doing.
(Sorry, we didn't get a picture of Spencer)

24. Here is Ruth Ellen meeting Linda for the first time.
She thought she was such a cute baby.  

25. Alaina and Cambria spending time together.
The winter has been long and hard. It's good to be together.

26. Downstairs with serious game playing. (One night Warewolf)
I think: Max, Ben, Kirsten, Taylor, Danny, Mallory, Sam, Timmy?

27. Zach and Gabe

28. Leah's new found friend - Marren.
We're sorry Marren had a bad cavity, but so glad
they all came in.

29. Beautiful spring flowers at temple square.
We began our first week of training on our mission.
We love it. We've been learning so many new things about
Family Search. Dad got sick with a bad cough and
we missed two days. He's much better now, and
we're ready for our second week of training at our new area.
WE'RE SERVING AT THE CHURCH HISTORY LIBRARY!!
Yes, we are excited.

30. Thank you Tom for the 30 cases of pint jars.
We love canning chicken in them. It makes such an easy
meal and so easy to do. PLEASE let me know if you need
pints. I want to find a home for them all, but family is first.
Ben sure helped unloading them, and Max & Taylor loaded
them all up.

31. The chickens are now in the chicken coop!
They are much happier with all the space.

We have had such a busy month. A month to remind
us of all our blessings. We are so thankful to each one
of you. We love you all individually.
It's great to have spring here. It is a renewal of life,
and a reminder of the hope of new life and all the
Savior has done for us. We are very excited to serve
on another service mission at the CHL. Our zone is the
Special Projects Zone. We don't know for sure yet
what projects we'll be working on, but we're very
excited. Another great blessing and draw of serving
in Salt Lake is that we will be able to spend more time with
our kids down that way. We still don't know which two days 
we will serve, but we'll find out this week. Also, I'll be able to see
A. Janet & U. Ralph and my sister Anne.
Have another wonderful month!
