Mothers Day

Mothers day was exciting. I wound up going to the ER with Elijah, because he had been playing outside without shoes with his brothers and got something inbedded in his right heel. He didn't cry when it happened and he wasn't limping, so we didn't realize it was there until we gave him his bath Sunday morning. David tried to dig it out but it was too deep. I took him in and they took X-rays and couldn't see anything. So they numbed him with a shot. He did not like that and we were not ready for him to jerk so strongly. He pulled out the needle and the Dr. had to stick him again. They dug out a white shard out that we couldn't figure out what it was. Then I talked to my mom and she thought it might be a sliver of the new vinyl fence we put up. The guy cut the rails down to size right on the grass and there was still tiny pieces on the grass. He is ok now. He has a bandaged foot that we need to keep clean and dry for a week or so. Then I hurried home to get ready for church because Adam was giving a talk in Sacrament. He did great!!! He went up by himself and gave a 4 minute or so talk by himself. It turned into a great mothers day.

Ben's Baptism

Ben was baptized April 9th at 10:00am. This is the only picture we have of that special day. It was a hectic morning and I ran out of the house without my camera. My parents took this picture before I made it to the church. I couldn't take any more because I had arrived 5 minutes late and another little girl was also getting baptized and they were waiting on me. They had tried to start already before I arrived and held off to wait for me. But other than being late for my own sons' baptism and not getting a lot of pictures, the day was very exciting. Ben looked so grown up. I love him so much.

Finally Spring

We finally had some nice spring weather today and the boys got out to play. Eli would stay out from Breakfast to Bedtime if he could.

It's great to be 8!!

Ben is now 8 years old. He had a great party with his friends on Friday. He will be baptized on Saturday. It is so amazing to me, how fast they are growing up.
