Happy Anniversary to us!

Spring Break!!!

We had the most fun over the past few weeks. Melissa, Manhattan, Marin, and Maxwell came out from Ohio for my Spring Break!
Morgan was home working. Derrick, Jennifer, Rachael, Megan, and Ethan came out from Kennewick, Washington. Jeffrey and Kaylee came out from their home in Portland. We missed Michael, Esther, Chantelle, Lauren and Alexander as they could not come from Alaska this time. We hope to have them out next year. We had a grand time with everyone who was here. Bronner and Jessica were here to join in the festivities. We went to the beach and put 8 kites together, but guess what, no wind. This was a first that I can remember when the kids were here. We went to a wonderful park in Astoria. The kids went bowling one day while Neal and I were at work. We have a local park in our neighborhood and we walked there every day to swing and look for deer. We had several projects going on here at home. I made the kids all hats. We decorated and framed a picture of the Savior and had them completed for Easter. We went to church together with all of the children in the Easter best, so cute. The girls joined Jessica, my Achievement Girls, and myself for an Easter Activity. It was lots of fun. We colored Easter eggs. Jennifer and Melissa took turns cooking and I just totally enjoyed my grandchildren. They were all very well behaved and such a pleasure to be with and to play with all day and everyday. We then followed Melissa and the kids to Sacramento, California, and enjoyed seeing Morgan and his family for the actual Easter weekend. Morgan joined us all there so that both grandparents could be together for Maxwell's blessing. It was very special. Neal and I are very glad we have been blessed to be to all of our grandchildren's blessings. Life has really been very good to us. Well, enjoy the pictures and if you are still home with your children, enjoy them. Time goes really quickly.
Love, Laura and Neal
