Conferences

Oh what a pleasure conferences were! Eddie Ray is Consistently improving. He loves art! He is writing sight words. And sounding out words. Good Job My little Man! Little Dan as always doing a great job across the board. Actually a huge kudos goes to Rick, he made Honor Roll. It co9mes with a lot of work he took 3 grades d's and belows and made them c's and above. Outstanding Job! Check out his March on Washington Project 90 out of 100. So Rick should give himself a big pat on the back. We are proud of all 3 boys.

This easter was really cool, i got a tee shirt 4 spirit hero cards from the book of Mormon. I also got a transformers watch and spongebob tattoos wih LOTS of cand. We found easter eggs everywhere. But my favorite would be a dog shaped planting pot you paint, water and grow.

By Lil Dan

My testimony is that I know that my church is true and I know that if you repent that you can feel good about yourself and then get repentance so you can go back to heaven. I love football, basketball, and track. I play the drums. I love to read books. I like riding my pocket rocket , bicycles, skateboards, and scooters. I like our scripture studies, my favorite story from the Book of Mormon is Enos. It has really stuck with me. I really like the song "If the Savior stood beside me". My favorite types of music are classic rock, christian rock, country, and rap. My favorite 2 cars is a yenko Camaro and 71' Cuda. I like horses I like to ride them. My favorite College team is Panthers followed by the Hawkeyes. I am a mini pampered Chef. I love cooking with Mom, Dad, & Uncle Eric. My favorite color is purple.

Easter Morn

It was wonderful to see the boys awaken with such energy and excitement. I am always in awe and thankful I can see that wonderment. The Boys were so excited the Easter Bunny brought them Heros of the Book of Mormon trading cards. And way cool shirts, with watches as well. Eddie Ray was amazed the Easter Bunny knew he liked Car Movie stuff. As always Dan won the Egg Hunt. They thought it was cool to hunt eggs in the snow. We watched the movie "He is Risen" and "Finding Faith in Christ" Thank you Aunt Lori, Deanne, And Marianne. We always find a great way to incorporate your gifts to expand experiences. I'd like to take this time to testify that I know Christ is the true Son of God, and how greatful I am for the Atonement. It is so wonderful that Christ has given a way to repent and make ourselves clean again. I am so blessed to have my boys in my life and be a Primary Teacher, I've truley learned so much from each one of them. I'm thankful for each one of my Brothers and Sisters and all the in-laws, everyone has added so much to my life. And I love each one of you. I have now 39 nieces and newphews and 6 great nieces and nephews and I wonder how one person could be so blessed with such a wonderful family. Please know each one of you mean so much to us. I know that Thomas S. Monson is a true prophet of the Lord. and the Book of Mormon is true. I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ Amen.

In Memory of Teri Stapleton

This morning at 3 am Teri lost her fight against cancer. She will be missed. She has touched all of our lives. And we are grateful for the short time we had her. She was born March 18,1959. Our thoughts and prayers are with her daughters at this time. In her honor we ask that you reach out to someone you need to make amennds with and let them know how much they are loved. And what they mean to you. Things that seem insurmountable suddenly seem so petty at this time.

Who said I love you first? It was me I was so scared I said "I love You" and ran out the door. He caught me and replied the same. He said I was a complicated girl. Oh if he could have only seen into the future.

Who pays the bills? I make the payments, but we are boththe money maker!
Who cooks dinner? Usually me. But Dan does quite a bit. He's an excellent cook. His food is to dire for.
Who drives when you are together? We take turns, long distance though is almost always him. Dan honestly has a better sense of direction!
Who is more stubborn? It's a tie, but I guess more times than not I give in first.
Who kissed who first? He definately kissed me first.
Who asked out who first? He asked me out first. It was Dad's Birthday, so Dan picked me up on his motorcycle. And what do I say "It's so small" I know I offended him, but I was tring to figure out how to put all 120lbs of butt on the passenger section of the motorcyle. He took me to "Top Gun" Then we went and got his firebird because he thought I might be chilled. He was right. But I loved that bike!

Spring Break

Our first day into Spring Break! Yeah. I'll post picts later. It was fun check out Piepee's Playtime Preschool for our Irish fun Day. Plus we enjoyed Karaoke. And Lil Dan and Eddie Ray have this facination with swimming trunks, warm water, and lots of bubbles. They say they are transforming our tub into a Hot Tub. We started a new family Book. The story of Harold B Lee by Blaine Yorgason. The boys appear intrigued. But it's been one of those very long days for Mommies with teenagers so I should rest, to see what tommorow brings
