Our Annual Blog!

I'll be shocked if anyone reads this due to the fact that we hardly keep this updated. We've enjoyed reading all of your blogs. I really like all the cool photos and video from Hawaii Rich and Deb, and of course those photos of our twin nephews in Pasco! Why can't we all live closer? We hope to be able to get together with everyone this spring and summer more often. I stayed home from work today to help take care of Alia (virus/puke stuff), as Molly was scheduled to work, and I can basically do laptop work from home anyway. The kids just finished up a successful basketball and cheerleading campaign and we should have signed them up last year. Alia really enjoyed the whole thing and made some new friends. Caleb did well for his first year and by his last game there was no traveling or double dribbling. He even made 3 shots in a row from the free throw line area with a cast on. I told him maybe he should just keep that thing on for awhile.





Caleb actually got his cast off on Tuesday, but still needs to wear a brace for a few more weeks. Needless to say, he was extremely happy to get that thing off. And just in time because Saturday we head to SoCal via I-5 to visit with Molly's family and for sure to do some swimming/Disney stuff (not fun with a cast). I think you all know about Molly's father. Molly flew down last Mon-Tues. to go with her dad to get a second opinion on his cancer situation. He's going to have to take medication to keep the cancer from spreading, but even with that, both doctors are thinking 3 years. I hope Molly doesn't mind me sharing all this because I know it is very stressful and sad for all of us. We're hoping to get him up here a lot more in the near future and do some fun things together with him. He's such a good man with a good attitude. I thoroughly enjoy being around him and listening to all his cool stories about his life. He's a good Papi!

Caleb and Alia will be baptized April 24th at 2PM here at our stake center, there's also a less active girl in Caleb's class/our ward that is going to be baptized as well. She's been 8 for a while and I think they feel comfortable with us, so why not. Also, we're having a birthday party for Caleb and Alia, April 10th (Sat.) up here at a place called JJ JUMP's or at the Family Fun center. We should be sending out invitations soon.

Great to hear from you guys!

So sorry about Molly's dad. Bummer. I know how frustrated she was with the whole Kaiser thing at Thanksgiving. Glad he's getting a second opinion.

Can't wait to see some pictures from your spring vacation!!! (And so happy for Caleb that he got his cast of right in the nick of time!)

Tell Molly her dad is in our thoughts and prayers. I'm sorry she's had to deal with the bad side of the insurance industry and trying to get her dad the care he needs. It is good he has her as an advocate! She is such a good daughter.

Hope you guys have fun going to California. I will be thinking of all of your fun in the sun and Rich and Deb's vacation as I endure yet another boring spring break. Oh wait - we are getting new flooring, that is semi exciting.

I think we are going to try and make it for Caleb and Alia's baptism. I'm so excited for them. Kendle hates that she is the last one to turn 8! Let me know if you need us to do anything like play music, bring refreshments or whatever.

And who's the scary guy in Caleb's basketball picture? :)

Sarah, that scary guy was Caleb's coach. Thank you for your prayers. You guys are welcome to stay with us if you come down for the baptism. It should be a fun time with lots of family.
