Ben's Baptism

Wow it's been so long since I posted. I'll fill everyone in on the last week since that is all I can remember. My folks came in to town last Thursday. Mom is recovering from donating the kidney, still can't do any heavy lifting, but is up and around and off the pain meds. My dad almost didn't make it. He went into the hospital last week with a suspected bowel obstrution. It turned out to be an Illius and he only spent two days with the NG pumping his stomach, yuck. But they still came which was great of them.
Brandon and Ben both went to Cub Scout day camp and had a blast. They are both still so excited about scouts and keep getting me to sign things off with them. Of course I'm going to have to do some camping this summer. AHHH!!!! We'll see how it goes.
Saturday was Ben's baptism. It was really nice. The stake takes care of all the baptisms, talks, etc so we just show up. We had some family over to the house for a BBQ and it was really fun. Daniel and family stayed most of the day to catch up with grandma and grandpa and came the next day for a big family dinner and games. It was wonderful to have the family around and no work. I was able to get the whole weekend off which is unheard of and got to stay home and play. Loving life!!

Bryan and the scouts had to build rockets for a space derby for pack meeting on Tuesday so they were sanding and painting and decorating their rockets. Then at pack meeting they got to race them along wires. They had a blast. It was a bit noisy and unorganized for me, but 8 and 10 yr olds thought it was pretty cool.

My mom and dad left this morning for Nevada and then on to home in Cali in a few days. It's been a really fun week, I got a big packet back today from the Navajo Nation. I sent them all the paper work to register the boys with the tribe a few weeks ago and now they are official members of the Navajo Nation. Hopefully this means I'm off the hook for college tuition. :) I'll post pictures as soon as I get them back. I miss placed my digital camera for the weekend and had to use film, so I have to get it developed. I really need to invest in a nice digital camera.

Love you all.
