Wow! It has been a while. Things have been going really well and we have been keeping busy. I am still working at the gym in the kids club and I still enjoy it a lot. The kids love to go with me too.  I'm hoping to sign up for 6 more months when I get back from Montana. Other than that I have been busy doing all sorts of house work, and trying to keep up with the kids. Zoe has decided she is potty trained, which sounds great, however, it's hard to tell if it's going to stay that way. She is talking more and more and is really fun to listen to. Zayin is discovering a little more what all it takes to be a big brother. They are amazing children and wonderful siblings. They really are sweet to each other most of the time.
Eli had a missions trip that he went on for a week in the end of March. He said it was amazing and God did so many things there. I am trying to get him to write a little something about it to share with every one. He is still working security, and is doing really well at it too. Loving school and is excited about next year. We haven't heard for sure, but every one he talks to says they are positive he will get in. This last week has been hard on him because he picked up a couple extra shifts so he worked long hours and is just trying to catch up on some sleep now. But at least he has a job. =)
Zayin received another award this week at school for discernment. We went to watch him receive it and it was so much fun. Definitely proud parents that's for sure. We also had an Easter egg hunt on Saturday that we signed the kids up and they had a blast! There were bouncy houses, baby chicks, little carnival games, popcorn, and just a bunch of fun! Then that night we all went to the musical that the school puts on and it was actually really good! Zayin had already seen it at school, but loved watching it again. Even Zoe sat through most of it. And today, well it was busy! We went to church this morning and the worship was some of the best since we got here, if not THE best. So good! The kids and I wanted to go to the car show that was in town, but by the time we got there it was over. We got to see a couple of beautiful cars that hasn't been put in there trailers yet and one guy let Zayin get into the trailer to take a picture with the car. We still had fun, even in the rain and with very few cars. Then tonight we went to the carnival to let the kids run around. We ended up letting Zayin ride a couple, and Zoe got to ride one and she got a stuffed animal from Uncle Dan (the guy we met from MT at BSSM). All in all a great day.
We are still missing every one so very much, and I am excited to see people when I come home this summer. No plans are for sure just yet, but soon enough we will get it all figured out. I hope you all are doing well and enjoying yourselves. Happy Easter!!! And have a joy filled week!
