Bennett Made It!!!!


Well, we made it through another day at the MTC!! Bennett was nervous but happy to be getting on his way. It will be good for him to get the first day or two over with. We didn't get to see Austin, but we gave Bennett hugs for him to share!!! The first two things they said to us as we walked through the door was "Welcome to the MTC" and "Does any of the people with you today have a sore throat or a cough"? There was hand sanitizer sitting all over and a Doctor sitting at the front desk. They have also banned handshakes and stopped all missionaries going to and coming from Mexico. WOW!! So we left Bennett, happy to be on his new adventure. Our car and house seem a little more empty now. I'm not sure we will ever get used to that feeling.

LORD OF THE RING

Here it is!!!! Yes, the championship ring. If you think it looks big, you are right!! It is HUGE. He is pretty proud of it and we are proud of him.




Just a few words about my awesome helper. Connor is a great bar-b-quer. He offers to help me grill every time, which is good because even though I know how, I'd rather have someone else do it. SHHHHH! Don't tell my secret!!!

Funny, Funny Hannah!!

Last night when we got ready for family prayer, Hannah decided to join us. She just walked in and put her front feet up on the bed. Now if we could just get her to close her eyes!



Another Fishing trip


Parker and Connor had Monday off. The last day of spring break. They decided to go fishing again. Bennett took them and they picked up Connors friend Colten.
They sure caught some nice fish. Too bad it was only catch and release!
(Parker is just fixing his hair!! - not hiding)

Happy Easter

What a beautiful Easter morning.



The Easter bunny found her!

Decorating Eggs

We decorated eggs Friday. Oh, Quincy loves to do that stuff. We colored and decorated some for Austin too. One of his is the bunny one. The flowers came out of our flower garden in the front. I am so grateful for those flowers that come back every year. They are my favorite.











Spring Break!!

Todd took some time on Friday to take the boys fishing. (Quincy and I stayed home!!!!) As you can see they were quite successful. The most important part was that they had fun together.
