Today I have tried to do something but have not felt like doing anything. It snowed most of the day today but it was a light snow that melted on impact. I think the weather probably was activating my arthritis. Larry and I went to choir and to church. After eating a good breakfast we realized that it was Fast sunday because of General Conference next week so that was frustrating but Larry has to eat anyway because of his diabetes. I felt the spirit at Sacrament meeting despite the fact that I was struggling physically.

Yesterday was an exciting day for two reasons. Maren and Landon and Brinlie were sealed in the Bountiful Temple yesterday. It was a beautiful ceremony and went well. Some people had told Maren that sometimes the children cry but Brinlie was an angel and enjoyed the whole thing. The person who sealed them said that she was amazing! The other reason that the day was exciting was because Larry went into extreme pain after the ceremony and I had to take him to the hospital emergency room. We had visions of a hernia or appendicitis but it turned out to be Kidney stones and after they got some pain medicine in him he has been okay. He even went to church and choir today but he slept some this afternoon. He is supposed to go to a urologist tomorrow to see if they can so more as the stone has not passed to his bladder.

Larry is graduating from the University of Phoenix on May 3 at 10:00 a.m. I am really proud of him. He has earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Management. He is now working on a Master's in Business Administration he is supposed to be finished with that next year.

Jeff called today and they are coming for Larry's graduation on the 3rd of May. They wanted us to go out to dinner that night with them. Grammy is coming also. I thought that was nice of her. Jeff said it snowed there today so the kids were thrilled. They really like it in Seattle.

Nathan is busy just trying to learn to fly. He was able to get an extension so he can retake his test he was worrying about. David had a school program this week. Isaac is getting potty trained and he spent about 15 minutes last Monday talking to me on the phone so he is really getting to be a talker. Sammy is trying to walk. Sara is trying to hold it all together.

BJ has been complaining that he didn't have a job in the ward they are in so the Lord listened and today he was called to be the Finance Secretary to the Bishop. He was feeling a little overwhelmed but he will do okay. Holly is busy preparing to graduate this spring. She will graduate on the 2nd or 3rd of May at Weber. We are praying for the 2nd so it is not the same day as Larry's graduation. but whatever comes we will work something out.

Kirsten has been busy trying to do extra work at night. I think she is really pushing it. Jon works from 3 to midnight so she is alone with Kyle and feels like she has the time. Kyle has a ballroom dance competition on April 18th at 7:00 p.m. if any one would like to come. The did really well in the fall and took first place.

We had Michelle and Dan and the kids over for dinner last Sunday. They we all played phase 10 for a while. We had a good time. Maren and Landon ended up coming also so Brinlie was able to play with Kallise and we all had a good visit. Nathan also called and we were able to talk to him.

Friday night we tended Michelle's kids while they went to an adult ward activity. The kids are fun. Ethan always wants to play something on the super nintendo that we have or the computer. Hailee usually visits more. She was really hyper but it felt good because she hasn't felt good for a while and it was the first time in a long time she seemed like herself. Jaron and Kallise went for the cookies but I didn't have any. So I fed them all some of our Easter candy. Jaron and Hailee also ate a TV dinner so they must be growing.

Erick has been working and going to school a lot so he is seldom home. He did go to several ward activities this weekend, so he wasn't working all weekend. His friend Lynnette got engaged to someone else so he was suffering withdrawal for awhile but he is finding some other girls to date.

Aunt Marva Neiderhauser fell flat on her face on Friday and broke her nose and really banged up her face so she called and was not able to come to Maren's sealing. We need to pray for her.

Kathy and Kelly Frandsen came for the sealing so I told Maren that must be a sign that her dad was pleased. Kathy is John's niece.

Well it is past my bedtime when I get up so early. Hope to be writing more again before next month but who knows?
