We are so proud of Steve! He is working so hard, he is even converting MONKEY'S! Keep up the hard work Steve!!

We are looking forward to seeing all of you (that can come) on Sunday for dinner. We'll be celebrating Chuck & Darci's birthdays. Craig & Lori had planned to be at an Olsen outing this weekend but are staying home to lay tile on there basement apartment floor. Sounds like too much work! Anyway, they will be here on Sunday. Also the Morgan's will stop here on their way home from St. George. We should have a pretty good turn out. Since Chuck hasn't been here for his birthday for a very long time, I asked him to choose what kind of Birthday Cake he wanted - he choose the Skor bar cake. Darci said she loves my Taco Salad so we'll be having that also. Hope all this good food tempts you to come.Love - Grandma

Ben's basic training address

Here is Ben's basic training address. If you get a chance, write him a note of encouragement. I'm sure he will appreciate it.

Mayzie's blessing

We are blessing Mayzie on June 7th at 9 AM. It is in the same building we had when we blessed Myles. (It's actually closer to Chuck and Amy's house than it is to our house :) Let me know if you need directions. Just a heads up at the moment there is only one other blessing that day besides Mayzie, but there could possibly be up to five and we can't save seats for anyone. Don't worry if you can't make it, I know it is a long drive for some of you. We are going to try and get the club house so we can have a brunch after, but details to come. Hope to see you all there.

Float building time

In case you haven't heard, Lisa and I are building a float again. Thankfully we have a lot of help. Chuck designed it. I'm really excited about the design. I think it will be a real crowd pleaser. Travis has been working hard to help with the construction. Needless to say, most evening and all Saturdays will be tied up on this project until it's finished. You're all welcome to come help or just hang out.

Utah Highway Patrol

Just thought we would let you all know that because Travis took the very first entry test last September that means we are down to the last FOUR months of the year-long hiring process!!! We are asking everyone to keep your fingers crossed for Trav, hopefully by the end of summer (September 21, 2009) He will be a trooper to watch out for while you are speeding down I-15! Ok, actually hopefully he will be in the academy at that point so he won't be one pulling anyone over for another 6 months or so. We will let you know as soon as we hear anything, but it may not be until end of July/early August. Unfortunatly the hiring process only moves forward when the UHP has spare time and because they are under-staffed :) it is taking FOREVER! I know many of you were concerned that there was a hiring freeze, but that was for people who had not yet started the process. We know for a fact that they ARE hiring. Thanks for everyone's interest in this whole thing. Hopefully it will be sooner than later. We are very excited.

Also had to add some cute pictures of the munchkins! (notice the cute shirt Mayzie has on Karlene?!) Look at how her little arms are getting rolls. You should see her legs! I love it

It's like pulling teeth to get this kid to smile AND look at me at the same time! But I thought this picture was pretty cute of him. Love this kid (even though sometimes I want to say "quit acting like a two-year-old" and then I remember that it's exactly what he is) He does look older than two in this picture.
