Cameron's mission call!

As most of you know-Cameron received his mission call last Friday. We kept going to the mailbox ALL day on Friday. It finally arrived at 4 p.m. and Cameron got on the phone to start calling all of his friends. We waited until Ryan and Deanna Christensen arrived from North Phoenix at opened it at 7 p.m.. Unfortunately the kids were at there dad's but we called them immediately after he read where he was going. He had his siblings on speaker phone so it was quite memorable for him. He opened his call read where he was going and immediately burst into tears and started hugging his dad. So he is going to the Ukraine mission speaking Russian and will report to the MTC on May 21, 2008. Yea Cameron!

The kids meet Hailee

My kids got to meet Britni's baby (Britni is Ron's third child.) and her husband Tom when they were driving through on there way to California. I joked around with them about bringing there whole house to come visit us! That is because they were moving from Biloxi, MS to Port Magoo, CA where Tom will be stationed in the Navy. They got here Friday night at midnight and left Tuesday morning at 5:30 a.m. We had a nice visit and the kids loved Hailee and Tom. She is cute, isn't she?

Virus?

I was checking the comments under one of Donna's entries and noticed that Merrilee had written in her comments not to check in the other one. Donna had, and it is a virus. Just now, I was going to check the comments under David's pictures of Tanner's room. One of them, I had written the other day, but the other one looks similar to the virus type that Merrilee had been referring to. I assume it is still OK to post pictures and even to post comments and look at them. Just be sure not to open any of the comments that you don't recognize. They seem to have here (in red) written in them for you to click on to get to the virus. Don't go there!
I do enjoy the pictures as well as the good and legitimate comments.

Home Projects

With everyone else doing home projects I guess Nicole and I felt left out and had to join in. It took us two tries but we feel like Tanner's room turned out great.

Seeing all of your kids grow up so fast, and watching Tanner grow up so fast makes me feel old all of the sudden. Is Spencer already as tall as his mom?

Cade's Birthday

Cannot believe that Cade is actually 4. Time sure does fly.

Wrist Fun

Here is a picture of my bandaged wrist and my crazy kids. Robbie has been great help through it all. Hopefully I am on the fast track to recovery.

What We Did in January

Spencer & Scott played a lot of basketball. We had lots of snow! Andi & Spencer participated in the Westridge Elementary Science Fair. Sydney and Alyssa were just cute, as always!

Trip to Scott and Merrilee's old stomping grounds!

Ron had the weekend off (his first in over a month) so after dropping the kids off Friday night we went to eat at Bass Pro Shops (Ron's favorite!) and then to see the movie "27 Dresses". The next morning we were going to go out on the lake but I had a really bad cold so we decided to take a drive to Kearny, AZ to get a hamburger at Buzzy's and to see the open pit mine that Scott used to work at. We had a nice drive and a nice visit with Cameron who came along. We played Truth or Dare on the way there but since you can't really dare much in a car-we got a lot of truth out of Cameron. That made it fun!! He is a good boy and we are now just waiting for his mission call. It could be here by the first of next week-so we have a big map up and everyone is getting to put there guesses up of where he is going. We also drove by your old rental houses (Scott and Merrilee's) but they have changed so much I had to drive by them twice to remember which one's they were. That night Cameron had some friends over and I made tacos for everyone and we watched the "Lonesome Dove" movies!!

Jacob's 4th Birthday

Jacob's 4th birthday was yesterday! I can hardly believe he is 4! He is getting so smart and says the funniest things! Last night we had our old neighbors (when we lived in the rental house) come over for cake and ice cream. Jacob got a bike from Ron and me and a motorcycle toy (that he picked out) from the money Grandma sent and then they gave him a Nerf gun. He had a blast of a day-and mom had to do little work! My kind of birthday!!
