So....

So I just thought I would update on everyone! There isn't much but here goes!

Dad is doing good. Still has problems with his leg off and on and has to put itch cream on it all the time. He has been trying to find time to work on the house but every time he plans on it something always comes up! The last thing was me wanting him to come to Salt Lake with Ashley, Rebecca, and myself to go to Temple Square. I will post pictures that Ashley took later after I get them onto the computer. That is about all with Dad.

Jonathan has been snowmobiling a couple of times up wolf creek and has been working on a truck on his days off. Other than that and working, nothing new!

Nathan just bought a fiero car since his truck had to go back. He will have to fix it up but it is the same age as he is!! I guess he is excited about it! He eats regularly now so whatever was wrong with his stomach is gone now. He does need to go to the chiropractor because his neck bothers him all the time, he sleeps on a heating pad every night.

David is not looking forward to leaving in a couple of weeks to Texas for basic training. He and Miranda will be apart so that is why. He quit his job a couple of weeks ago so doesn't do much in the way of leaving the house. He does help me out be it small favors around the house or riding with me somewhere to entertain Rebecca in the truck. He has been shaving each day to get prepared for basic and goes running most days.

Samuel is still getting strait A's. He is performing for choir on Monday playing the part of Sweeney Todd. I don't know if you have seen the movie but I will make sure that I get pictures and video of it and post it for all to see. He goes to missionary prep class every Tuesday morning.

Kevin got traded to being on the same side of the oil field as Dad and actually is dad's relief when he is off. He has made many changes on how he acts and treats people so that is awesome!

Ashley is got OK grades. She could try harder if she wanted to but getting her to put in the effort is not easy. She said that her visit to Temple square was nice but nothing else was said. She had asked a week ago what Kevin thought about her getting baptised and he said he would support her but to make sure that it was for her and not someone else. He also said that she should wait for Adrian to be home for a visit. She said that is what she planned. The next day she didn't go to church and sent a note to a lady in the church. She talked like she was going to get baptized but then doesn't want to go to church, mutual, or even have the missionaries over anymore. I don't know what to do, any suggestions??

Rebecca is getting bigger and bigger! She sleeps in her bassinet instead of in the bed with Kevin and myself since the 9Th of February. She still doesn't sleep through the night but is sleeping about 4to 5 hours before she wakes up the first time. She is still in new born cloths but getting close to growing out of some of them! I will of course post more pictures of her soon!! She is trying to push out a tooth and is also trying to roll over!

I am struggling to clean house and was cloths. I spend all of my time entertaining Rebecca! I don't mind it but everyone else does since dinner is not served by 6pm anymore! I know longer have a church calling so I get to go to classes except during one of them it is time to feed Rebecca so I miss most of it. I enjoyed Temple Square and plan on going to Salt Lake Temple in June to do my endowments. I am super excited for that and for anyone that will be here during that time are welcome to come with me!!

Adrian is still in Iraq but calls everyday. I enjoy talking to him except he calls either when I am feeding Rebecca or while he is playing a video game so it makes it difficult to hear him. We will be sending him a second care package in the next couple of days. The first one had some of my homemade brownies in them and he had them gone withing 24 hours of getting the package! I guess they were good.


That is all that is new here. I will post with pictures soon!!!

When in June will you be going to the Temple?

As far as Ashley and baptism, I would just not pressure her too much. Like you mentioned, she needs to do it for her and no one else. If she feels pressured she will pull away. Just invite her to church, but make it her decision. Other than that just set a good example for her.

I love your updates. I don't think I'd have a clue what was going on with everyone out there if it weren't for you!

I agree with Andrew about Ashley. It sound like she still has a lot of doubts so it's probably best that she wait a bit until she can work things out and get a confirmation that the church is true. If she does it for herself, she'll be a much better member of the church and have a better chance of remaining active.

And, I would LOVE to go to the temple with you if we happen to be out there at that time. I guess right now our plans are still up in the air a bit but we're still planning to be in Utah toward the end of the month if things work out the way we hope. An issue in Kalen's family as well as his high school reunion not having a definite date yet, are keeping us in limbo. I'll let you know when we know for sure.

Sounds like things are going good.. thats always good to hear. I bet Traci would love to go with to the temple being on her mission she likes to go along to the temple with friends and family :)

I wouldn't pressure Ashley either...just let the opportunities be there and hope and pray she takes them. I have still heard amazing things about EFY and if she would be willing to go to that (maybe with Samuel, too, or something) I think that would be awesome for them.

So cool you are getting ready to go to the temple!

I love the updates, too. I would definitely have Dad and Nathan go see a doctor (not Sterling) about the leg and the neck. You just never know.

It's amazing how much time a little baby can take up huh?!

I was planning to go to the temple when people are hear for the reunion. I just need to know when people are coming out here so that I can plan it!! I already have picked out the dress that I am going to buy for the temple!! I am way excited!

I try not to pressure her however Jonathan gets on her all the time for not going to church and stuff like that. I also just try to lead by example, hopefully my example is a good one!!

So do we know when everyone will be in Utah for the temple? I just ask because I will be around for part of June, but Gone to Japan for part of it too. I guess I am just curious if I am going to miss it again.
