I dreamed a dream...

this is too sweet not to share!

HAPPPY....SPRING?!

Around 2 this morning I could swear that I heard the snowplow..... I thought I must be having a bad dream.....


This is what we woke up to today..... about 8+ inches of snow!!! My poor kids thought this was spring break. Yesterday and Tuesday we had alot of rain that turned into snow and a blizzard at about noon, but late yesterday evening it looked to be mostly melting, so this is rather disappointing. I guess we will have to pack up and move south!

Easter Happenings

This was a rather slow Easter . . . . hardly anyone was here! Adam took off to Moab with an old mish buddy, AJ of course, ran off to Alaska so he could make a genuine beaver hat, Ang & Tye went to a wedding with Tyes family, Josh & Lauren had company . . . . and it wasn't the greatest weather. So because of the weather, the picnic was scheduled at grandmas. Dad & I were loners, there was Linda & Gert, Louise & Bill + Britta & Kasey and his brother and family were there. Britta did an egg hunt and fish pond for the kids, but other than that . . . we were pretty boring. Dad and I walked through the Arts Fair with Berlyn and then the singing brother and sisters plus spouses andGrandma went to 'upchuckarama' courtesy of Janice Rogers. But we missed the 'outing' and all our kids and grandkiddles.

YO YO YO! SHOUT OUT TO MY PEEPS!

We finally got our pictures from the Schramm Christmas party! (whoa, its april)
I will get some others posted soon but this is to funny to pass up. Garrett is always posing rappper style or doing air guitar... And these are perfect examples!

Elder Spendloves 1st Baptism

This is the Stewart family that Aaron and Pres. Wilkinson have been teaching. They decided to get baptized the night before AJ left and asked him to do the baptism. The little guy is Nathan and the older boy is (Stephen) Junior, and he does a great job looking after his little brother while their dad works.

Their dads name is Stephen, and he's just waiting to lick his cig problem.
*Please note AJ's sexy white jumpsuit, and when writing to him, express how great he looks in it. I know he'll appreciate it.

Both grandmas, and Aunt Louise and Connie were with us, but they made a hasty get a way. We sure wish the rest of you could have been here.

Tanner and Halle are pretty determind not to smile, but Tait & Garrett are always willing! But what about that elusive Sarah? Not as willing as when she was 3.

Tanner is certainly getting tall, and in 2 yrs. a revised version of this picture will put Garrett and Tait about where Tan is now. And Uncle Aaron wont find it so easy to lift them over his head.

This is what you've all been waiting for!!...
