Thank you Katie

I sure thought your blog was very complimentary and over the top. I do love children and doing things with children. Thank you for the nice blog. I read your blog every week. I wish I could figure out how to comment on everybody's blogs.

Amber, did Branden plant his garden. I have more ideas if he is interested. Just give me a call or text. I got my new phone so I am back to texting!

Rick and Abby, you are expert bloggers. I am tempted to try making those Chinese Dumplings. Thanks for the recipe. I am impressed by your computer nerdiness-backing up your own files and saving over $50. You are exploring and enjoying the wildlife-how lucky you are. Have a great time with Ben. We will be watching your blog for the report and pictures of your visit.

Thanks for the Updates on Your Blogs

Just read all those new posts on your blogs. Glad to see the update on Stacy's blog. Sometimes it has been a long time between my updates.

Thank you for the pictures of the children, Bekkie. I can not believe how big Trevor has grown. He is definitely taller than Christina. Look how tall Gavin is in that picture. He looks close to five feet tall. Amazing children.

I was happy to hear the update on Thor. Glad he is doing better and that he will stay well for a while with John taking care of him. I found those test results interesting. It is amazing how the doctors have a test for everything. I got so many guesses when I took sick kids to the doctors. Now they can know what is wrong at least part of the time.

Amazing Hawaii pictures!!! Are you sure those are not postcards!! What fun you are having!!! When I moved to a new state I loved exploring that state every weekend. We saw some wonderful places. I am determined to spend some time in Hawaii next winter. What great exploring! Even the trip to get the car fixed involves an adventure in beauty. Wow.

I enjoyed Amber's blog. I hope she updates it with pictures when Branden plants his garden on their deck. It is already warm enough in St. Louis for planting gardens.

Katie, I am glad you had a spring break. You do work so hard. I enjoy hearing about the adventures of Josh. He is a great superhero in my book.

There isn't anything interesting in my life. I love to hear about all of yours. Thank you for the updates. Chantelle hasn't done a blog so I must tell you that Olivia got her two bottom teeth. She is crawling all over and pulling herself up on everthing. We must be vigilent to keep her safe. Elder James Price Ronnow is on his last couple months. He will finish his mission in the city where he was hoping to go, LaPlata. He is still district leader. He is working hard and having a wonderful time. He has been accepted into BYU/Provo and plans to go in the fall. Christina got a note of congratulations for the improvement on her grades this semester. She has been working hard. The school year is almost ended. Time flys.

You Are Incredible!

I just got done looking at the blogs of my sweet children. How I love seeing what you are doing in your lives!!

Rick and Abby are having some awesome experiences. Looking at the pictures and reading your blog made me want to move there myself. I love snorkeling and I have been snorkeling at Hananma Bay. (Can't remember how to spell it.) It is like swimming in an aquarium full of brightly colored fish. How do you feel trading snowboards and snowboots for Barefeet and snorkles!!

I love to see all the pictures of Thor. Thor has learned so much just since you were here a few weeks ago. We are so worried about him right now. He has just been sick for so long. I am sorry about Zoey. February is not a good month for you. God bless you all.

We are so in love with Josh. Thank you for the pictures and the updates. You are very busy right now so we appreciate the effort that it takes when you are so busy in school. Hang in there. Those stressful times do not last forever it just seems like it. Be kind to yourself. You can only do so much and we all will survive, even Josh.

Bekkie, pictures of spiders do not exactly thrill me as much as pictures of those sweet grandsons. That Gavin is a so sweet. I remember at one of your schools they did a gift store at school. I loved the idea because people could donate to it and you children got some nice things for each other for pennies.

I talk to Amber on the phone often so even though her blog is not updated I feel like I know what is going on. Lots of love and support goes to Branden!!! Keep up the good work.

Chantelle and I got to be with Kysa, Wyatt and Paxton while Stacy and Allan celebrated their 10th anniversary. They are amazing children. They are so good to each other. Chantelle taught us how to play BS. Paxton is very good at it.

Jeremy and Chantelle put up with us every day. We love having Olivia here. Such a happy baby! She is really growing up. Happy Birthday today!
