A long time coming......
K so this will most likely be long. I have been trying to get down here for weeks, but something with the kids always comes up. Stacy and I talked one day about scheduling it in so I will do it, the problem I have found is that kids mess up schedules.
Last weekend we had a great time watching soccer. The high school team played in Delta. We thought about taking the boat (HA HA), but with the 3" of snow we left in Salt Lake we didn't think it would be that warm. On Thursday we drove to Delta and watched the game, Hunter won both Varsity and JV. Then we moved on down south some more. We stayed in St. George for the night and got up the next morning to drive to Las Vegas for a tournament Austin was playing in. They did really well, they lost the first game and won the last two. I forgot to take pictures of Avery's game because I was freezing. It was really warm in Vegas and I got some sun. We got back late Sunday night and when I woke up Monday morning I had 3" of snow on the ground again. I guess that's what we get for trying to get away from the snow. Oh well spring in Utah.
The weekend before was Easter and usually we are in St George, but because of the tournament we stayed home and the kids had the Easter egg hunt with the cousins. It was fun, but weird to have Easter so early. We of course had yummy food and lots of fun. Yeah for family.
I should have put this in a long time ago. Brayden was baptized on March 8. He was so super excited and kept bouncing all over the house. My other kids where excited, but they did not show it like Brayden. It was a very special day and Avery and Chelsea gave wonderful talks at the baptism. I loved having Julie play a song for us on the violin. I am grateful for all the family and friends that came to share Brayden's special day.
The only other thing to report is that Avery finally got his braces off. It only took three years, but the stubborn child would not wear his elastics. I guess it's not me that had to wear them for so long. He sure has a nice smile though.

Hey Dera,
Love your blog. Your kids are so grown up... I still picture them when I came to your house before you even had Brayden. Sounds like you keep real busy!
Miss ya!
Sorry I am just getting around to reading blogs....Don't stop just because people don't always leave comments. I am glad you kids are all doing so well with all their sports and activities. We loved coming to Brayden's Baptism! We love you guys.
