Mission Calls...

Misa Santisteban is from Kansas and she opened her mission call March 19th and she is going to Arcadia California July 17th.  Abby Smith is from Santa Barbara CA and she opened her call March 20th and she is going to San Antonio Texas sometime in the summer too.

We went to Mallory's mission farewell on April 14th.  She did a wonderful job and will be such a good missionary.  She goes into the MTC in Provo on April 17th and will be there six weeks before serving in Milan, Italy.  We are all so excited for her.

Brandon's 25th Birthday...

Scott had a track meet on the 11th so we had his party at his home on the 12th.  They got him these awesome cakes.  The big one was a red velvet cake and the small one was a chocolate cake with hot Cheeto frosting.  Way too spicy for me but he loved it!

I love this picture of him!

He had fun blowing out his candles which would keep lighting back up!

Maria and I both had the same idea of giving him video games so he ended up with 14 I think.  He was pretty excited.  I was happy to find a Lord of the Rings game.  He would play hours with Travis and Tony when he was younger and his nickname was Legolas.  We also got him the sweatshirt and sweats and seven other basketball and baseball games.  It was pretty cool they found him a guitar hero game plus they got him some clothes, two headphones and another game controller.  He got spoiled again as usual.  They are so good to him.  After the party we took him home for the night.  It was fun getting these cute pictures with the two boys.  He did pretty good except for not sleeping during the night and I think because of that he was a little more worked up on Saturday.  But overall it was a good visit.  I hope he enjoyed his birthday. 

My cute boys!!! (:

Brady's Choir Festival...

Brady's middle school choir got to perform at a Choir Festival at TVCC.  They did a good job, I was happy I was able to break away from work to listen to them.  After they got done another director worked with them for a little while on different singing techniques.  

I'm so grateful Brady has Kaylee for a friend.  They are so cute!

College Fun...

After conference they saw an advertisement for the Golden Girls and one of them said, "Hey that will be us in 60 years and so they had fun recreating these poses.  They are so cute!  Madison even put concealer on her lips to wash them out like Sophia Petrillo played by Estelle Getty.  Kacie was Rose Nylund played by Betty White.  Misa was Blanche Devereaux played by Rue McClanahan.  Abby was Dorothy Petrillo Zbornak played by Bea Arthur.

Monday Kacie had to get dressed up for an job interview with the College in the student housing and living department.  She said she thought it went really well.  These two decided to take some pictures because they were all dressed up.  They are so cute together.

189th General Conference...

It was raining so it was nice to have Scott listen with us on Saturday and Sunday.  

It was pretty exciting to hear John McCune sustained as a general seventy.  Grandma Joan was able to be in there in attendance. 

These were just a few of my favorite quotes.

New temples announced are always exciting...

Mom's 74th Birthday...

We made tacos for Mom's birthday dinner and then had strawberry cheesecake. We gave her a set of electric salt and pepper shakers. She really liked them. We then played games and visited with Tara and Tommy's family. It was an enjoyable evening. We hope she enjoyed it too.  We sure love you MOM!
