We had a good week. The kids were still on spring break. (Besides Preston).
Bryant was counting down the days until his friend Bryce could come over and spend the night. They had a great time! We have had some late nights around here lately with spring break. It will be an adjustment to get back to school tomorrow. It will be good for all. :)
Wednesday Preston and his friends set a school record in the 4 x 800 relay. He did a fantastic job and was named "Athlete of the Week" for track.
Thursday dad had an Arrow of Light ceremony to do for our pack meeting. He did a great job! All of the boys look forward to receiving their arrow of light and to shoot the flaming arrow! During the awards Bryant received his -Bobcat-, so he is on the way :) Those events are a lot of work but dad makes them so special for the scouts.
Friday we went to the Easter Pageant. We got some great seats thanks to Aunt Ladawn getting there a little early and saving us a few. Preston and Wyatt went with the youth and got really great seats thanks to Bro. Walker in our ward. (His mom does the costumes for the pageant). We looked for my cousin Kimmie (missionary at the visitors center) but there were SO many people there that we missed her!! Our youth in the ward did see Elder Ross however. He was with some investigators and everyone said he looked great. You probably know but we hear that he will receive news soon as to if he will receive a call somewhere else. The Ross's are set to pick him up in 2 weeks either way.
The Easter pageant is very powerful!! It was a great night. I love the new Easter video (short but powerful) the church put out!!!
Saturday we started our baseball games. I missed you terribly as I made 190 snow cones by myself!!! Preston helped dad make the popcorn in the morning but I was a lone salesman all day at the park. The day was very successful and everyone was very excited to be out and playing and I think they were all looking forward to the popcorn and snow cones ;) I also had many people ask about you. Many non members asking where you were, so it was a great opportunity to share the great work that you are doing :)
Brenna had an activity day recognition night tonight. It was nice. Dad and I took her and learned about all of the goals she is working on for her Faith in God award. I can hardly believe she will be 12 in a year and will go to YW!!
I have thought about you a lot today as I ponder on this date 3 years ago. Your transplant day. I am grateful for the gift of Preston being a match for you. I am thankful that you handled that time as well as you did! I am so thankful that we had so much time together. Not many 16 year olds get to "hang out" with their moms like that :) I learned much from you!
You have made it through a lot of adversity and I hope you will never forget the closeness you felt with your Savior during a time of uncertainty and suffering. I am reminded often that Christ suffered that pain already. He knew what that was like for you. For me. For our whole family. Wow. He loves us so much! I am so proud of the positive person you are that always looks forward and is full of faith. Keep that attitude throughout your life and the remembrance of your Savior's love for you! It will bless you!
I love you! Have a wonderful week!! Enjoy it!!! :)
Love. Mom
This is us at one of Preston's track meets.
Good support Wyatt... You are turned the wrong way ;)
Preston and his track buddies set a school record in the 4 x 800 relay this week during their track meet. Yay!
Dad and I enjoyed a session at the Gilbert Temple. It was a beautiful day.
Bryant had his friend Bryce over for a sleepover. I promised him he could have him over during spring break and he counted down the days. :) They had a great time!
This was dad during a U of A game during the tournament. Haha. Too bad they lost in the elite 8 :(
We went to the Easter Pageant on Friday. The youth of our ward went and we decided to go as well. It was a great night! The spirit was strong!
Baseball games started Saturday. :) (Brenna)
