Finally some more pictures!

So, I finally remembered to bring my camera to mom's house. The first picture of the kids is at the Dam. We went back and they were open. I wasn't allowed to taken in a camera. So we took this out in front of the mailbox. We saw a lot of really big fish. The kids thought that part was so cool. All the movies were down they are switching video people so there were no video. We were the only ones there. We went a couple of Wednesday's ago. The other picture is of Kamden at tap-ballet practice. The next two pictures is Easter Sunday. We could get one of everyone so there is two. The next one is of Cole batting at one of this games. He saw a kid doing the Echeo(sp) batting stance and swing so now Cole does it. The last pictures is of Kamden in her Mickey Mouse costume again. She love to have her picture take and preform.

I uploaded this on Sunday and then I didn't have enough time to write anything so I thought I would come home and do it and you can see how well that went.

Today which is Wednesday I went on a field trip with Cole and his class. We walked over to Yoke's it is a grocery store that is close to the school. The went on a tour of the store. It was really neat. The kids were really wild. The story provided pizza for all the kids after we were done. They loved that and they also got ice cream, cheese, cheese, cookies, and a bag full of stuff along the way. The funny thing is I am going again tomorrow with Kamden's preschool. This time we are not walking but I think all the same things.

Saturday we decided to put up a pergola. I think that is how you spell it. The thing mom and dad had on their back patio in the old house. We don't get in late afternoon shade. That is when friends com over or we want to eat outside. So we needed some shade. We talked about a covered patio but I think this is prettier. So we spent Saturday night and Monday, Tuesday painting. Ryan got 1/3 of it put on Tuesday. He was home most of the day and worked on it. He thinks he might be home again tomorrow and be able to work on it.

I think that boat might me sitting most of the summer with the way gases prices are going. We spent so much money on gas last summer and that is when prices were going down. I really hope what they say is not true that they are going to be above $4.00. I don't understand how they can get away with this. There are to many money hungry people.

Carter is really starting to talk. I think he has been listening to Kamden to long. He yells MOM! all the time because he hears Kamden do it. I don't think he is trying to be so loud but just coping Kamden.

We went to a Home School event last night. I talked to a few of the teachers and the coordinator. Picked up some books and some information. Cole and Ryan made any egg basket. A basket to put an egg in then they dropped them off the top of the stadium stairs. There were a few that didn't break. The let go of Cole's upside down so of course there wasn't enough padding and his broke. He told us next year he is just going to give them an egg with his name on it. He meet one boy that will be in some classes with him that is his age. I think he is excited.

It was 91 here yesterday and in the 60's on Sunday or maybe that was Saturday. It has been very wired weather here. Hot and cold not a lot of in between.

I hope everyone is doing well. Jackson is in our prayers. We love you guys and hope that they are able to find something that works better for him.

Long time no hear!

We are busy as every here at the Bassett house hold.

I have been trying to plant flowers for awhile. The passed to years we have done it over spring break week but it was still to cold. So I am hoping we are out of the clear and the flowers will do great. I can't believe how much we spend on flowers every spring. I don't know how people can afford big flower beds it is spendie. I love to plant flowers though. I spent last night cutting back some bushes and this afternoon buying and planting flowers.

Cole had a baseball game today they won they have won all there games but one. There team is starting to come around. Cole does really well but he love to drop his shoulder he is wanting to kill the ball out of the park. We keep trying to tell him to swing level. Cole had a friend stay the night Friday and Saturday. This kid likes to stay here and come to church with us. He is a pretty good kid.

We had a talent show tonight. Cole jumped on his pogo stick with no hands. He is really good but he got nervous and fall of twice during the song he jumped to. We were bad we didn't think to put Kamden in and Cole didn't want to do piano. There were about 5 performance by the primary president girls. It got a little long.

It was such a nice day in the 80's'. We probably should have taken the boat out but there just isn't enough hours in the day. We are ready to take it out but the weather here has been to cold.

Carter is really starting to talk and repeat things. He loves to repeat everything Ryan says. He was saying Bat hit the other day and Kamden thought he said butt head. So every time she hears him say it she says, he said butt head. So now he love to say butt head and get her to react. So know I don't know when he says butt head or bat hit. I think he is using the first because when he is mad he now uses it. The joys of having older children to teach the younger ones such nice things. And I couldn't wait until he talked. Now I really want he to be potty trained.

Kamden is doing really well in preschool. Her teacher moved to a new house this week. So Kamden thinks we need to move to a new house too. She wants to give back the boat so we can move to a new house.

I know I say this a lot but when you don't write often you forget what happens. I need to write more often I guess.

Flies and Carter

We are back to baseball this week. We had really bad wind on Monday for one game and rain again for the second time on Saturday. On Cole's team there are quit a few kids who parents don't think it that their kids need to come to practice. This is our fourth year and this is the first time we have had parents say they just can't get their kids to practice or games because the kids have made other commitments. I don't know what you guys think but I remember being raised that you don't commit to a sport or activities unless you can be there and be committed. I am not sure if parents are over doing the activities are what but it doesn't help them learn to be committed to something. Cole hit a home run on Monday. I was watching him on Saturday and I am not sure if he is in la la land or is just board because it is to slow paced. He always says he loves it.

I tried to get Kamden to play t-ball but she doesn't want to give up tap and gymnastic. I told her she could do both but she said no. I was hoping I could get her to play ball but I am not so sure. She loves to wear dresses and skirts and can't get her to wear jeans or shorts I just have to make her if I really want her to wear pants. She love make up jewelry and having her nails done. I think she was born to the wrong mom. I think her and Bailey would get along great.j/k


We had the kids picture taken during spring break and I just got those sent off yesterday. So we all should be getting those soon. They didn't turn out as good as they have in the past. I am hoping to get Carter's Birthday pictures taken this week. I had them scheduled on Friday but Bailey and Mike came into town and I forgot.

Did I tell you all that we had another fly miss hap. Carter is so afraid of flies and ants pretty much anything creep crawly. Not like Cole who was pinching them at 18 months off the ground.

Dennis and Melanie was so nice and watched the kids for us for about 6 hours on Saturday. Ryan and I went to the Miss Teen Tri-Cities pageant. There is a girl in our ward that was in it and she got runner up. That was 2 1/2 hours then we meet some friends for dinner and we stayed and visited for awhile it was nice.

It was nice to see Kendall and Jillian. It would have been even nicer if we had seen them a little more but I guess they have friends that they want to see and visit too. I love you girls!!

Easter 2007

So we have been busy this week. If you ask the kids they haven't done anything and they were bored. Thursday we got Kamden's stitches taken out then we went out to Ice Harbor Dam. It isn't open yet but I talked to the kids out dams and we took some pictures. Then we went home and washed the inside and out of the car. After that we head over to Howard Amon Park for awhile then we came home and went to the park and flow kites.

Friday Mike and Bailey came here. So we all went to Walla Walla's Pioneer Park and played on toys, looked at the birds and had lunch. Dad, Mike and Cole left early to meet Ryan to go and play golf. Mom made us Chili for dinner it is Chauntel's receipt wow hot!!!

Saturday the easter bunny visited our house. He brought the kids movies and a little candy. Then they had an easter hunt at the house. A little later in the morning we went to memorial park and went to another easter egg hunt. Cole got a math educational video. Then we loaded up and headed down to Keywadin Park for Carter's b-day party. We had pizza, cake, pinata. Dad brought his bike down and took the kids and girls for rides and we also played home run derby.

This morning we came over to mom's for breakfast and had another easter egg hunt. We are visiting with Mike and Bailey until they leave for home. Then we will being going to church and then come back over to mom's for easter dinner.

Food!Food!Food! It seems when we are all together there is a lot of food. It is all really good food. The best part is being all together! It has been nice. We wish you were here Logsdon's.

Canyon Fun!

Well, here are some pictures of the kids in the canyon. We went with grandma and grandpa. Wow it is different from when we were kids. I haven't been since middle school maybe high school. The kids had a great time.

We also went and had pictures taken today at Penny's wow it took 2 hours. I know it always takes awhile. They turned out really cute.

We will go again in two days to take Carter for his b-day.

We went and saw Meet the Robinson's. Wow it cost $8.00 for the kids and $8.50 for the adults. They don't tell you it is 3D and they charge you $2.00 for the glasses. It was a cute movie though.

We are hoping tomorrow we can go to Spokane and visit Cole's friend that is in the hospital with Cancer.

Motorcycle riders!

The first picture is of Cole and Ryan on Dad's Motorcycle. Dad had his motorcycle out today after the first conference. We came over before conference and had breakfast and watched conference then we all took turns going for rides on Dad's motorcycle. We then watched the last session of conference. Wow! can I say what a great two sessions of conference. I loved all the speakers they were so good. Mom then made dinner we had a BBQ. It was a little to cold today. It is suppose to be 60's I don't know. It is so windy it feels much cooler. Friday was in the 70's so it feels much cooler today.

The next three pictures are of Cole, Carter and Kamden with all her tap/ballet girls. Kamden had a performance at a retirement center and then they all got to go on a egg hunt. They had a good time. Cole of course collected way to many eggs and had to put them back.

Then there is a picture of Carter in Cole's baseball helmet. Now that it is baseball season he has a ball, mitt or a helmet on at all times. This is how he thinks he needs to wear the helmet. He would let us turn it around.

The next two are of Carter on Valentine's day. I made little cupcakes and some regular sized ones. Carter shoved one whole cupcake(small) in his mouth. We thought his mustache was so cute you can also see he has a full mouth.

The next one is of Kamden and Carter getting a ride from dad. Cole use to do this all the time when he was little and thought Kamden and Carter needed a ride from dad.

I hope everyone is well. It is nice to finally see Chauntel got her pictures uploaded. Wow you look good Chauntel.

We are looking forward to Kendall, Jillian and Bailey's family coming. The kids keep asking me when they are coming.

I can't believe Carter will be 2 this week. Boy how time flies. It seems like I was just pregnant. Maybe that is because I still haven't lost all the weight yet.

We are all looking forward to this week of having no sports or activities. Yesterday Ryan and I cleaned out the garage. We found lots and lots of mouse poop. We covered our table with a blanket to protect it and it seems the mice have been using it for a home. So we got everything organized and clean. Ryan also got the boat waxed. We were just finishing up cleaning out the garage when Kamden fell of Cole's skate board and sliced her chin open. We had to take her in for 5 stitches. We always thought Cole would be the one in the hospital a lot. It seems that Kamden is the one that is going to keep us in the hospital. She should have had stitches about 2 years ago while Chauntel was here. We decided against it and Chauntel and grandpa(dad) glued there fingers to her head. We decided this time since it was on her face we needed to take her to the hospital and have it done right. We actually tooker to Kania Clinic and Mr. Kania gave her her stitches. He told us if we had gone to the hospital it would have been $1,000. He charged us $132.00 not bad ha. We only had to wait about 45 mins or so. I thought that was pretty good too. Kamden said it didn't even hurt mom. They did a really nice job with her.

Scouts

This is a picture of Cole doing Scout stuff. He cut out and sewed a bean bag. This one is of Cole he made stilts.

More Pictures!

Here are a few pictures I have taken over the last month. The first one is a Relief Soceity Dinner. I am the one in the blue shorts I was wearing a tube top and bell bottoms. Bells on my bottom and a tube on my top. Another one was plunging neck line with a plunger around her neck and so on. It was a fashion show. Fun!!!!

Pictures!

Trouble!

I guess I am in trouble. I got after Bailey for not updating her blogg so I guess that I better update. Plus mom emailed me and said I needed to update. So here I am. You know when you don't update you forget all the many things that happen and the things your kids say. So I hope you are not bored with me trying to catch up.

Little League didn't have enough coaches this year they had enough for four more teams then last year. Pasco can't seem to keep up with all the grow. Whether it be the schools, little league, football, road 68. Anyway so I told them Ryan would coach. I didn't think he likes it. It is much easier to be the helper parent then to be in charge. The kids practice twice a week and have games twice a week. They have some kids on there team that are really to young to be on the team.

Last week we had parent teacher conference. All of Cole's conference since first grade have gone well. This last one was great though he is reading above level. We have really been working on that.

Next year we are going to home school. They have a great program over in Kennewick. So we will do home school and then one day a week he gets to take some fun classes with other home schoolers. He will be able to do some other extra activities with his extra free time which he is excited about. This program also reimburses you $350 dollars a year per child for book or piano lessons, karate, etc. We just found out they are changing the bounders for schools. All the elementary schools are over filled. They can't build a new school because they are building a high school which is long passed due. So the schools are not able to keep up with all the growth.

Last week Cole had a friend stay the night and he went to church with us. When we were on our way home from church he was singing the primary songs. He told Ryan he felt like he already knew the primary songs. It was so cute. He stayed with us for over 24 hours. He was really upset when we took him home.

Today Cole had pictures for baseball this is the third year in a row that it has rained on picture day. Cole has had is first game. He had a good time. There are three kids from his class at school on his team. I think that helps to make it a little more fun to go to practices.

Cole has a friend in his class that was just diagnosed this last week with stage 3 Lymphoma(sp) Cancer. He had been sick we all thought with strep throat but that had gone on for a month by be almost two months. He is a member of the church and he is a twin. It is very upsetting. There is a kid in the class one room over that was also diagnosed with cancer and there is a boy in our ward that had it at about this same age a few years ago. It make you wonder if there isn't something in the water?

Well Kamden is still doing tap/ballet and gymnastics. I am trying to talk her into t-ball and she doesn't want to have to give up what she is already doing. So I don't know if we will get her to do anything else. She has been doing really well in preschool. She has been spending time with a boy who she likes to copy. He uses a lot of bad language so we have been working on that with her. Oh, that has been fun. No really bad words just a lot of potty words. She is trying to read it is so cute. She is sound out all the letters but not quite putting them all together. We had to replace her glasses this week. This new pair from Costco has been a nightmare.

Carter is growing so fast. Last weekend when Cole had his friend over they had a gun that shot out balls and they were going around saying, " I killed you ha,ha." So this week I laid Carter on the ground to change his diaper and of course he said, "I kill you ha,ha.". Of course he doesn't talk to much but that came out plain as day. He also has learn how to say sorry. He is having to say that a lot after hitting his sister. Of course it is baseball season again so Carter pretty much has a bat, glove or ball in hand from the time he wakes up until he goes to bed. Oh, I guess I could say thing that looks like a bat, and any ball he will even hit a football like a baseball. The other day the kids were all sitting at the bar and Carter started to scream. We figured out he is scared of flies. He wouldn't let me put him down so when I was fill a water bottle and he spotted the fly he jumped off the counter. Let's say this kid has a lot of bumps. I don't know how he has stayed away from the hospital but I am so glad because with no insurance it wouldn't be good for us.

This week when I went into school with Cole we went on a field trip. So there field trip was walking from their school to Walmart and back. They had 6 2nd grade class with 30 kids in each class and then all the parent volunteers. Oh, lets just say that was very interesting we stopped traffic a lot.

So that isn't all but it least it is an update. I hope you weren't to board. We are going to try to get over to mom's tomorrow and upload some pictures.

Dance Competition

Cole had his last Basketball game on the 24th. They won all but one game he had his end of the year party on Tuesday the 27th. We did pizza and cake and all the kids got a trophy. It was a zoo at the pizza place there were 4 other teams having their end of the year parties too. Ryan was picking Cole up for panio on Tuesday and missed him Cole got on the bus and missed panio. At Cole's school they had Dr. Seuss hats on sale for all the kids so they could wear them on Dr. Seuss Day which was on the 2nd. Cole had his pinewood darby race on Thursday and he came in 2nd place to a kid that bought his off the internet. Cole and Ryan worked on it together well most of it. Cole had fun and was a little bummed he didn't win. I thought it was funny the two youngest kids in scouts took 1st and 2nd.

We have been really busy with getting ready for Kamden's tap/ballet competition. I don't know if I already told you Melanie and I made boots for the cowboy costume and ears for the mini mouse costume. I also made bows for the shoes and ears, check lists, phone list, and took in a couple of leotard for the mickey mouse costumes, and made a washington state flag. I looked and looked for a washington state flag for weeks and we couldn't find one isn't that sad. I finally had to make one. Kamden had tap/ballet practice on Mon and Tuesday. We were supouse to pick up the rest of her costumes on Thursday but the lady didn't have them done until Friday night so we just picked them up at the competition. We left at about 11 to head up to Idaho for the competition. We picked Ryan up in Moses Lake. We spent Friday night, Saturday night and Sunday morning in the indoor water park there at the motel. We spent all day Saturday at Kamden's competition. They did two numbers one was a tap Mickey Mouses birthday party. The other one was Buckaroo. They won gold for both numbers. They were the only 4 and under group though. Everyone loved them they thought they were so cute. But they were asked at the end of the show along with about 8 other numbers out of 98 numbers to dance again. It was for the over all entertainment award. They didn't win it, but they got another award from one of the judges. She had a great time. All the girls asked when do we get to do that again. There were two other of Mrs. Lisa's classes there. Two of the dance numbers also won gold and the other won a Sterling Silver 2nd place. All the groups qualified for Nationals in Las Vegas in July. The two younger groups aren't going but the older group will be going.

Over the weekend we told the kids we would go bowling. We didn't have time to so on Monday we took them. Cole got a 107 wow he did so good. I beat Ryan by two. I got 3 X's in the 10th frame. How lucky was that.

Updating!!

So last Thursday we had our ward Relief Society Visiting Teaching Conference. It was good they had a little dinner that was a little different. They had a macaroni salad with pineapple in it. Anyway the desseret was really good. It was a little long it started at 6:30 and didn't get over until almost nine.

Saturday Cole had a basketball game. They lost there first game by a couple of baskets. You could tell Cole still didn't feel while. He stayed home from church two Sundays ago and then from School on Thursday both days throwing up then again this Saturday just tired. I think the basketball game on Saturday was a little to much. We also went to Aunt Dorthy's Funeral. It was fun to see all her girls again and Aunt Linda and Uncle Carl. Our whole family went and mom and dad where up there to. We drove by grandpa's old house and took some pictures. We saw a slide show and the pictures of Uncle George look just like grandpa wow. I couldn't tell them apart other than the ciggarete hanging out of Uncle George's mouth. There was even one of Aunt Dorthy that looked like grandma. Then Saturday night mom and dad came over and watched the kids while we went to a ward adult party. They had a sock hop. It was really fun. Our ward was able to put a band together they were so good. The singer was meant to be an entertainer. They had a dance and dinner. Hamburgers, chips and Rroot beer. They had pictures in front of a motorcycle. One of the girls in the ward her dad had booths and dance floor and table and an ice cream shop. So it looks so cool. Anyway not a very good turn out. But you have to remember there are 550 people in are ward mostly all young and maybe 8 teenagers that can babysit. So if you don't have family and didn't call early you couldn't come. It was to bad it was fun.

So Sunday Cole was sick so we Ryan and I traded again. We stayed home mom and dad were busy after church.

Monday there was no school so we tried to go to a movie in the afternoon but it was sold out. We saw a think about 15 different families we knew. We finally did get into the 7 pm show and there were only about 6 families there. I was glad we waited. We went and saw Road to Tarabethea (sp). It is not like the trail. Kamden had Tap/Ballet that is way we waited until later. The kids got to bed about 9 so not to bad.

Tuesday I had kids all day and did dinner. This is my last week of dinner group. It was just not working with our schedule. Some of the dinners weren't coming until 6 or later and we were either gone or not eating until to late. So after 2 1/2 years I will have to go back to making dinner everyday after today. It is going to take some time to get back to making dinner everyday again.

Wednesday I hang out with Cole at school again today. Cole got to go swimming today for Scouts. He had such a good time. I hope he behaved himself. We got a bill from the public library saying Cole owes $70 plus on over due book and never returned. I am not so sure that is true. I am not sure how to dispute that one since they don't give you a receipt when you return your books. So we will be sent to collections if we don't pay within 30 days. I am so annoyed that the public library that has free book that were paid for by us get to collect money from us for returning them late. I think there is something really wrong with that. O.k. sorry I am just really annoyed and trying to figure out how to deal with this account.

Today I have spent most of the day trying to prepare my lesson for Sunday. It is on the plan of salvation. I waited to long this time to prepare. Usually I am pretty much done prepare and just fine tuning. So I hope it goes well on Sunday. It has been fun and such a learning experience to teach in Relief Society. I know I keep saying that but each month it is a new topic to get excited about and do some studying about. I have really enjoyed it.

Valentine's day!

Well, it has been a while. It seems like it is taking a well to get around and post. Mom said the site had changed. Did everyone else have to update to the new site?

Ryan is really glad there are only two more basketball practices and two more basketball games left for Cole's team. There always it one are two that are out of control. Anyway Cole is doing really well this year. He loves it. It is like night and day compared to last year. He is so much more aggressive and just much improved.

Ryan is also keeping pretty busy with work. We have had lot of rain and colder weather so it has slowed them down some. They have been able to work on some inside jobs and things to keep busy.

I don't know if I told you but I hit Ryan's work truck pulling out of the drive way a couple of weeks ago. So he took the truck in on Monday. His big truck had more damage to it than my trail blazer. What a hardy vehicle it is. We also finally have our DVD player in and working well. The kids are glad to have it back. With all the driving around we do and the time they spend in the car it seems to help them to not complain so much about all the time in the car.

Cole is sick again today. He woke up throwing up this morning. So he is home from school today. He was throwing up on Sunday and had to stay home from church on Sunday. I think all the kids have had at least 3 or 4 different things and they have been off and on again sick more on than off. Carter is still sick with something I think a cold. He has the green nose and cough. I can't seem to get them all well. I have sat through one whole Sunday in the last 6 -7 weeks. Ryan and I have been trading off. He goes to sacrament and I go to Relief Society. It will be nice when summer is here.

Cole had his first Blue and Gold Banquet. Ryan took him Kamden and Carter were sick that night. Ryan said it was good and he had fun. He now has 4 kids in his scout group. He is so excited. All his other friends are in the older group and he was just going to have one boy that he isn't really friends with in there with him but two other kids moved in so that has been nice for him. They made bracelets for there moms yesterday. It was a really nice bracelet. I think he was really proud of himself.

So Cole is signed up for baseball that will start in March. It seems to go from one sport to the next. Cole's favorite sport is what ever one he is playing at the time.

Cole and I had a good time yesterday at school they had a valentine's party all day yesterday it was a short day but they did lots of fun things. There teacher order pizza for all the kids for lunch. I thought that was really nice of her.

Tuesday Cole's school had a fund raiser night. They had all the teachers work at McDonald's and if you bought any food that night 15% went back to the school. So we went in for ice cream. It was so busy I will be interested to see how much they made.

Kamden has been busy getting ready for her tap/ballet competition. Well maybe I should say I have been busy too. I made there boot covers, belts, pockets for the horses, check off list, phone list, and trying to find jeans and a Washington state flag. So anyway we are busy with that. Her competition is in Cour De lane(how ever you spell it) on March 3. I will be glad when it is over.

I just found out yesterday Kamden is getting picked on at preschool. She has also learned some new naughty words from a boy at preschool that she is using there too. I didn't find out from the teacher it was one of the other mom's. I was a little upset the teacher didn't tell me so I could talk with her. Here I thought oh she is such an angle at preschool. It is just at home she is rowdy. Anyway I need to call her and find out what is going on.

Carter is doing o.k. like I said he has been really sick this winter. He still isn't really talking. He is repeating some words more. Still not really clear but repeating words a little more. He will go potty for me in the morning before his bath. I think he might be ready? I just can't decide if I am or not. He is in to everything. He is more into things than my other two where. We really have to watch him. He is also thinking it is funny to hit people. That has been fun to trying and stop. We have tried slapping his had that really doesn't work. He thinks that is a game and hits you back. So we have tried the naughty spot and he thinks that is fun. He will set there and smile and talk to you and laugh. So if anyone has suggestions I am totally open.

We found out we can't fix our laptop. So we are going to have to buy a new computer if we want to print. We have bought two laptops in 4 years that don't print anymore and the one doesn't work at all. So I think we are done with laptops and going to go back to a computer. I am tired of buying new ones and spending all that money on them. It probably will not be for a while. So hopefully one of these days I can get over to mom's and upload some pictures.

We had a nice Valentine's day. I spent the day at Cole's school and got flowers and a card from Ryan and we took the kids out for dinner. IHOP has free dinner for the kids everyday so we went there. Only you pay for the drinks how silly is that. They are more expensive than the dinner. I think we saved $10 on the dinner for the 3 of them. I think Apple's before 6 is still cheaper. We love Applebee's.

Love you guys

Kamden knows who Joseph Smith is!!!!

O.k. I keep wondering when everyone else is going to update there blog and no one is. So I guess I will. We keep saying we are going to get our computer fixed but we still haven't. I know it is so much more fun to see pictures than to read what we are up too.

I have to tell another cute story. We had a family home evening about what a testimony is. So a few days later I asked Kamden if she knew what one was and she said yes. I believe in Heavenly Father and Jesus. Also I believe in Joseph Smith. I asked her who is he. She could tell me who he was and that he asked H.F. and Jesus which church to join and they told him none and that he didn't join any of them. It was so cute. I always think she is never listening. So it is nice to know she hears something.

Same old same old for us. All last week I was working on my lesson for church. It was on gaining a testimony. I really enjoyed studying for it, well I enjoy studying for all of them. My testimony has really grown in the last couple of months with the help of my Heavenly Father and the holy ghost and the opportunity I have been give to teach. O.k.

Cole and Kamden both were throwing up last Thursday night but by Friday were fine. I still kept them home from school. Last Sunday Carter had been sick and throwing up. I am assuming that is where the other kids got it.

Yesterday the kids had a primary activity day they had a good time. They had the kids to valentines for the missionaries and they got to frost valentine cookies and they got to make heart monsters.

Today we went and had our taxes done. I always love having them done. It is like a savings pot. We aren't very good at saving so it works well for us. It is all going to medical this year. It will be nice to have it all paid off though.

O.k. so I have updated my blogg now you girls need to update yours. I finally heard from Kendall. So I hope to hear from the rest of you.
