Here I am Blogging again!!! I just love to use that weird word, BLOG!! Another week has flown by at lightening speed. Barton gave another fabulous gospel doctorine lesson today on Joshua! He even had two props/object lesson things that he used. One was a homemade snare that he made to illustrate that satan has snares that he can trap us in. The other was a single sheet of paper and a hymn book. He asked someone to put the book on the edge of the paper to hold and support the book. Of course you have to roll the paper up to make it possible. He was illustrating Joshua supporting the children of Israel. Fun and learning for all who attended his class.
I had a "Stampin' Up" party last week. Had about 8 people come to my party. We made two cards and ordered the stuff that we wanted. Someday when I get time I will sit down and make some cards with my stamps. It's a fun little hobby when you have time.
The boys are counting down till when school is out (June 7th is the last day). They're anxious for summer. Both Nathan and Kempton have scout camps they will attend and hopefully we can take a trip to Omaha and Kansas City around July 4th.
We worked on some more landscaping this weekend and what a job that is. We are hiring someone to help us with part of it so it will all flow together nicely and things will be planted to get the right amout of sun and water. I meet the landscaper next Saturday at the nursery to pick out all my plants. I'm excited to have it coming together.
Barton and the 3 big boys will go on the father and son campout this coming Friday and Saturday. Tonight Justin was talking about what they could have for dinner on Friday night. It was so funny to hear him thinking out loud. What he wanted the most was barbecue baked beans!
Our family is looking forward to a short Nauvoo trip May 19-20. We are staying one night in some fun cabins. Take a peek at them, they are really quite something to read about and see where they came from. The website is: nauvoologcabins.com.

Well, here I am hopping onto this blog train! I don't want to get left behind. Just hope it doesn't go too fast for me.
Today I had my first exercise class at the Y. I am enrolled in "The Mixx" which is a mixture cardio workout and strength building. I really had a fun time and look forward to my next class. I was afraid that I would not make it all the way through the class, but I surprised myself and still had energy to load up the kids in the car and drive home. The 200 crunches that they do in the class were my biggest challenge, but I'm going to work hard to improve a little each time!! I'm also signed up for water aerobics
We finally have 3 trees planted in our yard and it looks quite pretty. One is a river birch (with 7 main stems), a pink flowering dogwood and a redbud. Our next task is bushes and hopefully some petunias or something like that.
Kempton had his first orchestra concert last night and he did fabulous. He only began playing "arco" (w/ the bow) one week ago, so he really practiced hard for one week so he'd be ready to play 5 new songs. Beginners start out plucking the strings and then transition to using the bow. He's quite the little musician and makes me proud!! He wants to sign up for summer orchestra which should help keep him challenged and working hard.
SOMEONE (thank you very much) who was here on Easter weekend got Justin hooked on toast, honey and cream. That is what he had for lunch today!!
Nathan has turned into the pro fisherman. A few days ago he caught 5 bass in the pond at the other end of our street. He is now practicing the "catch and release" method for which we are grateful. He's no longer dragging a bunch of smelly fish home to show off.
Bryan is the little "roley poley" boy. He rolls all over until he bumps into the furniture and can't go any further. He is really starting to enjoy baby food and sits up in the high chair to eat.
Barton's doing pretty good, but looking for a surgeon who can fix his back (again). I don't think he will let it get so bad before getting it fixed this time.
Our home in Kansas FINALLY has a contract on it! YIPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!! We are all so releived and happy to have that behind us.
