I think it's about time I posted. It's been a while, so I'm going to do a quick overview of what we've been up to. So much has happened that I think I'll split it up over a few different blogs, so it doesn't seem so daunting.
My Brother Richard took his sweetheart, Callie to the temple on April 6th. It was a great day! My brother Ryan and sister Monica were both able to fly in to Salt Lake for it! I'm so happy they chose to go through the temple! In the picture L-R: Monica, My Dad, Tasha and Roger (behind), Callie and Richard (front), Ryan, Mom, Mindy, and Me and John.
Also in April, Erin did a science project at her school. We started working on it in February. She observed our chickens, and the change in weather to see if the warming weather had a affect on the number of eggs our chickens produced. Turns out it does, but that's not the best part. She won a first place ribbon at her school, and was told she should submit it for the School District as well. It turns out that she got a first place ribbon there as well! We are so proud of her! It was a lot of work, and frustration, but she hung in there! Great job Erin!
For Easter this year, we went to Delta to stay with Mom and Dad. We had a great Easter with Four-wheeling, hunting for eggs, coloring eggs, eating good food, and playing games. Thanks Mom and Dad for a great time.
April started with Easter! We had a great Easter in Delta with my Family. The weather wasn't excellent, but we had good food, and great company. The Elders helped out with the Easter egg hunt! 
We have a new addition to our family! We decided to get some baby chicks! The plan was to get 2 chickens so that we could have eggs when they get a little bigger.
But when we got to the store, they told us we had to get at least 5! so now we have 5 baby chicks. They are so cute! 
I know they won't stay cute for long, but we have an area out the side of our house that we plan to fence off with some chicken wire so that they'll have a safe home without making our yard a mess. I know, . . . We're crazy. We'll never know if we like it though until we try, and If we get sick of them, we'll have chicken for dinner. ;) Just don't tell the kids that! 
A couple of weeks ago, we had a baby shower for 2 of my sister-in-laws at my house. Roger's wife Tasha is having a girl in August, and Ryan's wife, Jocelyn is having twin boys! She's due in September, but will most likely come early, and since she lives in Las Vegas and won't be able to travel much longer, we decided that sooner was better than later for the shower. 
It was so fun to see the cute twins outfits that Jocelyn got! It was like two of everything!
