Sunday April 2, 2006
We watched conference today and yesterday. It was a wonderful spiritual feast. I hope you all got a chance to watch some of it. It rained yesterday but today was a wonderful sunny day that made Erick want to start working on the yard (but it was Sunday) and Landon wanted to be outside all day.

Maren and Landon came over today to watch part of afternoon session of conference. It was fun to see Brinlie although she is stuffed up with a cold or allergy. Maren was excited this week because she received word from the Elks in this area that her application for scholarship had been submitted to the State. They are having a ceremony honoring the participants at 7:00 p.m. on May 2 at the Bountiful Elks lodge if anyone wants to come. Landon was hired at Discover Card and starts tomorrow. Hopefully this will give them benefits and help with schooling if it works out. Possibly he and Larry can carpool sometimes.

BJ is very happy with things that are happening on the mission. He has a family that he is very close to that he has been cooking for. He gets home on the 28th of April in the evening. He is speaking at our ward on the 30th of April at 2:45 p.m. Please come if you can.

Erick had his mission reunion this last Friday. He had a good time and then went out later with several of his friends. He has been busy with his school work and work.

Kirsten and Jon took the kids minature golfing last night. They had the girls this weekend so they could do that with the family. Kyle had a soccer game yesterday but with the rain it was canceled.

Jake has Guard this next weekend so he has to work at the beginning of the week this week. Lexie is back in school. Ashton is learning to eat finger foods and gets frustrated when he cannot pick them up. Nikki just keeps adjusting to change.

Jeff and Misty had friends over tonight for dinner. Jeff is liking his new job. He is so close that they bought two bikes and he rides his bike to work. Misty fell on her bike and skinned her knee. Owen has a stuffy nose this week also.

Michelle is ready to have her baby anytime. She is supposed to go in this week to see what they say. Right now they have scheduled for her to have the baby on the eleventh of April. The kids have been sick this week throwing up so hopefully they can get them feeling better. Ethan had a soccer game that was canceled on Saturday also because of the rain. Ethan will be preforming at the Davis Hospital with his choir on the 19th. Ethan and Hailee will have a choir recital on April 25th at 7:00 p.m. at the Clearfield library.

Nathan called on Wednesday and wanted us to fast for him as he was trying to make a decision about work now that he was finished with his Officer training.

Larry got paid for going bowling and eating at Chuck-e-Cheese on Friday so there are some days it is not to bad to work at Discover Card. He was the top sales person again.

I am learning that not having my prep hour makes a big difference. I have had to work late several nights this week to get things done. I am also doing physical therapy for my knees twice a week and it is taking more time. My class at the U of U is interesting but hard to keep up with. It was good to have the weekend.

I talked to Annette this weekend and she has broken her foot. She just fell when her foot flipped when she was walking into the care center in Vernal.
