Sorry this is the real post, disregard the first one please.

So sorry it's been a so long since I've checked in, things here have been so busy I just haven't had much extra time. I don't even know where to start.

We got to spend a couple of nights with Savannah during her spring break from Grand Junction's ...as you can see the kids all had a great time. Then came Mikaela's spring break, she spent the first half at her mothers and the second half with us. We went to Durango which is always so relaxing. Except we had to cut the trip a day short when Nathan's new pride and joy was delivered 4 weeks early. Let me explain ... we've had a series of Sunday morning break ins around here so we decided to buy a gun safe. When we ordered it they said it would take 4 - 6 weeks so we didn't even remotely expect it to show up 9 days later. I'm sure you know it broke Nathan's heart.

Then on Sunday of spring break we got to attend out first 4-H pig sale. Nathan finds it amusing that Mikaela chose pigs for her first project - being as we aren't set up for them and basically know nothing about them. We are having fun though. She was pretty cute at the auction...she got to do her own bidding and everything. She really figured out how to through that little hand up when she wanted to bid, putting it down was another story all together. She fell in love with these three cute spotted pigs and decided that she just had to have one - so we ended up spending a lot more than we intended but she got the one she wanted and it all turned out fine. We also got a blue-butt and a Hampshire (who knew there were so many different types of pigs anyway) She is doing really good with them all and seems to really being enjoying it. She still is not very excited about having to pay for the pigs and all their stuff because "she doesn't have that much money" we've tried to explain but she doesn't completely understand...she will though.

Here are the three pigs the mostly black one is the Hampshire named Ham the pink one is the Blue-butt named Bacon and the spotted one is well the Spot named Suey.

The next weekend we went to Chandler AZ for LTC. Mikaela was the only participant from out church able to attend this year but she did wonderful. She got a GOLD in signing for the deaf. While we were there she also got to watch a lot of other events which helped her decide to participate in a lot of other events next year.Sunday the kids woke up to find that the Easter Bunny had found us all the way in Arizona. Mikaela innocently informed us that she knows the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy are pretend...but Santa is "REAL", she sweetly kept this information from Cole and Nayana and just played along.


On the way home we drove through salt river canyon WOW how beautiful! The kids really enjoyed being out of the car for a few minutes.


Back at home we have continued to be super busy with Karate 2 nights a week after school art 2 nights a week as well as three pigs and a horse to take care of.

Everything is wonderful here though. We love you all.
