April 2010

I don't want to forget my kids funnies so I thought I better write again. But first I want to take a moment and write a little about our uncle Roy. On Friday he passed away after a battle with pancriotic cancer. He was an amazing man. If I had to describe him I would say he was everyone's friend and so full of service. His funeral was really a tribute to his life. So many people were there to honor his life. Uncle Roy helped many of us get into cars. He also rescued me one day from American Falls. We are blessed to have uncle Roy in our lives.

Mark was able to come to the funeral, so on Sunday we had a family dinner. Checkers now lives with Grandma & Grandpa Brown, since mommy needed him to have a different home. Duriing dinner Iheard Kameron say stupid dog, then he said shut up dummy. Kameron never says those wrds. I guess he associates those words with Checkers. It made us all laugh.

On Tuesday Dave & I were excercising. Brianna was excersing with us. Dad threw up, so he sat down. Brianna kept encouraging us to keep going. She informed us that we need to ad more grains to our diet. Smart girl.

Sunday we were privilaged to have new member discussions. It was so fun. It's especially great since Brianna will be baptized soon.

On wednesday we each got a ice cream cone for 16 cents a peice so it was 48 cents.On saturday we went to the play bueaty and the beast kyle acted like the beast all week long we injoyed it the lady at the counter said we owed her 2o$ mom payed her 2o$ she gave us 2$back there was refreshments 1$ per piece mom bought 1 for each of us so we think the lady gave us money back for refreshmints that is what we've done so far.

I loved going to the play with the kids. Kyle sat the whole time and enjoyed it as much as Brianna and I. Mom went with us to. Kyle went to Kindergarten registration. I can't believe he is that old. Time flys. I will miss him at home all day next year. He is my big helper. He always does his jobs when asked and is so sharing. Brianna is a reading queen, we are proud of her. She reads a ton of books, and is working on the Book of Mormon. She is almost done!! Naomi is starting to laugh. I love it. She is so pleasant, as long as you are holding her. Dave suggested we get her some toys that has been such a life saver. Life is just blessed and great.

On Friday it was spring break so we went on a family date. It was awesome. We started at the pet store to look at animals. Checkers went to live with Grandpa and Grandma Brown, so we told the kids we would get another pet. However Kyle was fine with checkers leaving, after Brianna told him he would get a new Thomas if Checkers left. Had I known that I wouldn't have worried so much about having him leave. I was worried about Kyle's feelings, who would have ever thought it would only take a Thomas. After the pet store we went to Dollar Store and Kameron wanted a Ballono like usual. He wanted faceman, Dave could not figure it out. He thought Kameron was saying spaceman. I came over and pulled down a big yellow one with a smile face on it. Kameron was happy he knew exactly what he wanted. We went to PoJo's which the kids love because they can ride bumper cars and out to eat Taco Time and McDonald's for the kids. The kids loved playing on the toys. Kameron stole Kyle's hamburger so I had to get another. Kyle use to love McDonald's hamburgers to. Can't figure it out since Kameron never eats a hamburger. Dad put the beds in the living room and they had a movie party that night. When Kameron woke up he told us he stay on bed. He was proud that he stayed on his bed in the living room all night. It was such a fun day.
I have not written for a while so I thought it would be great to take a moment and write. This last weekend was Easter, we had such a great time. It was also conference. I was told that if you have a question you would like answered you can write it down and it will be answered at conference. I wondered what I need to do to help teach Brianna before she was baptized. I felt like the answer came so many times. There was tons of talks on Mothers. We need to teach our children the scriptures, and teach spiritual things whenever we can. I just loved it. On Saturday I went to lunch with Farrah, Mom and Elizabeth. We talked about our dear friend Adrian who died on Easter morning ten years ago. Mom shared how he was in so much pain with his cancer and needed medicine. He knew the medicine would make him so he could no longer communicate. He had a friend who was a non-member and so he would not take the medicine until he spoke to his friend. One of his last acts on earth was to share with his friend, his testimony and the importance of being an eternal family. After his friend left, he recieved the medicine and was no longer able to talk. His freind later became a member and was sealed to his wife. It was so neat to share this story with my kids. I could feel the spirit as we talked about it.

On Saturday evening we went down to Aunt Fay's and Uncle Bobs for an egg hunt and dinner, it was so fun. They hid over 500 eggs and had gifts for everyone. They are such incredible people. Grandma and Grandpa and Dan and Shalee were there. It was great.

Sunday the Easter Bunny came and dumped his basket. The kids got Zu Zu pets and had a great time. We watched conference together and just had fun. I was proud of Brianna we had a hard time getting conference on Saturday and she was a little disappointed. We had Farrah and Doug over for Strawberry shortcake and the kids had an egg toss. Dennis and Laurie came over for dinner. What a great weekend. I love our family very much. We have been so blessed to have so much fun together. Dave and I always talk about how good our kids are and how much fun we have. Kyle and Ethan got to go down to Grandma and Grandpa's house and spend the night. Kyle packed his own suitcase with Thomas's and jammies and etc. He is growing up to fast.
