Very special day!

I want to be the first to wish a very special person a very happy birthday! She is not just a sister-in-law or a wonderful aunt she is a true friend! She listens and does not judge, she always has a kind word, you can trust her and she is very dependable. If you ever need a friend she is one of the best you could ever ask for!!! And if all those qualities are not enough well...she is a wonderful Sunday school teacher, she is compassionate , she is very giving, and she adores her niece and nephews. She makes you feel extra special even in the smallest gestures. And if that's not enough well.... you just need to get to know her I know you wouldn't regret it. Thanks Julie for being such a wonderful sister (in-law) and true friend. Thanks for sharing such a wonderful name LOL! I hope you have a wonderful day.
We love you bunches and bunches!!!
Happy Birthday Julie D.!!!!

We rode a SEGWAY!

I think this was Todd's favorite part of the trip. The museum had a Segway you could ride. I was amazed at how easy it really was! I will make a slide show another day of all the pictures, but today I am just putting on a few pictures. No slide show so Sis. Holley can see everything :) Sis. Holley's internet at the new house is not up and going yet. Only down fall on an iPhone is can't see the slide shows!

Spring break was great!

Fun at the museum

With Zio's Italian kitchen in the background it was yummy!

carriage ride around downtown it was really neat!

The Wild Buffalo are all around town!!!!

We had a relaxing spring break!! Between sleeping in and staying up late we had an eventful week! Monday I had a doctors check up and he said everything looked great! We cleaned house top to bottom except our room. On Tuesday and Wednesday we had dental appointments, Play-a-Thon, and even went on out reach! The kids had a blast meeting other kids and inviting them to church. Then on Sunday they saw the work of them and others had paid off!!!! 67 in extreme WOW it was neat seeing our kids faces as people they invited showed up at church! We did escape town for one night. We left Thursday morning and went to OK City for the night. Of course we stopped at Jake's BBQ on the way up. We went to bricktown, down the river walk, and of course had some good ice cream! On Friday we went to the science museum and spent the day exploring. Saturday again sleeping in and eating at the newly opened ARBY's, Yummy Thanks Bro. Kurani for opening this up! And then back around to a wonderful day on SUNDAY! We had community day over 400 in attendance over 100 visitors! 13 got baptized and at least 3 got the Holy Ghost! It was amazing it reminded me of the dream that had been given to the church many years ago! The dream was about people being lined up down the sides to get baptized! The revival is here and God's promises are happening!!! One of the girls that got baptized is from street rage many years ago! Its awesome to see the fruits coming forth from the seeds that had been planted! God is doing Great things in Wichita Falls!

The Grades are in!

Maybe a day on the farm

Maybe we will spend at least one day on the farm this week. Todd has enjoyed his tractor. The kids think it is great also. Here is a picture of Madison on the tractor with Todd going for a ride. For those who may be concerned, no they are not on it when we are working. They love running and planning on the land. Soon the go cart will be ready to take out with us! Let the fun begin!

Beginning of Spring Break

We decided to do some spring cleaning on our spring break.
today we started out in Madison's room. We rearranged her room and cleaned every corner. The closet is almost cleaned out and Mason's room is next. But after a long day of work and play we went for a treat. We thought we would go to Maggie Moo's but the line was out the door....so off to good old Braums instead.

Boy scouts

The boys are so cute in their uniforms. Here are some cute pictures of the boy scouts at their ceremony last week.

Kids Choir

The children sang last Sunday and they did great. I think all these children are amazing! Almost everyone of these children are already filled with the Holy Ghost!

Another Busy Week

The last week has been very busy. Between church, work and school and not to forget girl scout cookies it has been a busy week. Thursday through Friday Todd was gone to the men's outing. The kids were pretty good. We went to diner with a friend on Thursday night and then sold girl scout cookies all weekend Our girls are doing very well. There are 9 girls selling and I am cookie mom. I have had my hands on almost 3000 boxes of cookies!!! I have only ate half of a box of caramel delights aka samoas. Not to bad! Well tomorrow starts yet another very busy week. We are preparing to be in revival with Bro. and Sis. Cook! Mason has a boy scout banquet Monday night, Tuesday is girl scouts, Wednesday is church, Thursday I think we get a break. Friday and Saturday we sale cookies again. Then back in Church on Sunday with the Cooks! May God bless you all this week! I promise to take lots of pictures and post sometime next week!
