Heidi and I spoke in church today. Here are our talks. Mine: 3 Joseph Smith, the Prophet and Seer of the Lord, has done more, save Jesus only, for the salvation of men in this world, than any other man that ever lived in it. In the short space of twenty years, he has brought forth the Book of Mormon, which he translated by the gift and power of God, and has been the means of publishing it on two continents; has sent the fulness of the everlasting gospel, which it contained, to the four quarters of the earth; has brought forth the revelations and commandments which compose this book of Doctrine and Covenants, and many other wise documents and instructions for the benefit of the children of men; gathered many thousands of the Latter-day Saints, founded a great city, and left a fame and name that cannot be slain. He lived great, and he died great in the eyes of God and his people; and like most of the Lord’s anointed in ancient times, has sealed his mission and his works with his

A family from Aquabears invited us to eat at Fuddruckers this weekend. Good times!

The demolition derby was Saturday and it was da bomb! It was raining all the way to Sacramento, but once we got there, it cleared up and was nice! Yeah, it was sweeeeet! Demolition derby! This year was way better than any other. There were 12 cars in the main event, which lasted at least 15 minutes. It was down to two cars that just kept smashing each other. We just got a huge bag of kids clothes from craigslist and the boys liked their homie hats. Earplugs. What? My family. One of the few family portraits we have.

Scott graduated preschool yesterday. Walnut Acres has been a great experience for him because he has been able to make friends and develop his confidence. Swimming has been great too, but I already wrote about that. All the graduates lined up along the sidewalk at Arbolado Park, Walnut Creek. The alphabet phonetic song Happy grad Nothing like a hard day's work! A note to Scott.... Dear Scott, We are so proud of you, our little graduate of Pre-K (not preschool as you are quick to correct). You have learned and grown so much this past year. We couldn't have found a better program that gave you a love or learning and school. In the beginning you were shy. You would have us walk in with you and help you get settled. With time, you grew in confidence and life experiences. You learned what it is to be a good friend and find good friends. What a wonderful life lesson. We prayed for friends. After 2 months you would be greeted with a room full of kids yelling Scott, excited

Heidi has been on craigslist quite a bit. It has yielded some good results, though, because we got some really nice, sturdy furniture at a good price. I like craigslist because we have met some of the nicest people who are closing the chapter on one part of their lives, like the couple in Piedmont who were sending their daughter off to college. We bought the bed, table, and bean bag. It was premium. Here's a picture of Scott after his wound was closed with some dermabond and steri-strips. Tyler has been a good boy lately. He is mostly potty trained, except for his poopy accident at the baby-sitting co-op. Thanks, Sam. Kira is as cute as a button. She walks around, talking to herself. She looks a mighty awful lot like Heidi, eh? Young Heidi Heidi and Heather with their daughters Paisley and Kira. They appear to be the same size, though Kira is about seven months older.

The demolition derby is coming to the Sacramento County fair on Saturday, May 28. I just ordered my tickets. I am stoked! Scott is, too. I know we don't have that many readers of this blog, but if you want to come, we would be most happy to have you join us. Put it on your calendars! Bring your earplugs! I should put this on facebook. Okay, bye.

Finally got to sing happy birthday to Heidi with a cake Walt made At Heather Farm Park Scott jumping off the swing
