This is Gretchen and Carter on Easter. It was such a treat to have them there also while I was visiting New Mexico. Carter loved being outside and playing on the little trike. Gretchen's baby is due in July. She looks great and was doing flips on the trampoline!

Gretchen and I went to New Mexico for Spring Break. This is Heidi and Reeds family on Easter with their new dresses and ties. We took walks, kicked the soccer ball, played croquet, covered the drive way with sidewalk chalk drawings, played barbies, played games, watched movies, went bowling and went out to eat. We went for ice-cream and had fun watching Carter, Max, Caleb, Maia, Carson and holding Kylie. We went on a pic-nic and had lots of yummy food. Gretchen and I both visited the dentist while we were there. Reed fixed us up with new crowns and is such a wonderful dentist. Thanks Heidi and Reed for a wonderful time. I miss you and all my grandchildren.

Mike and Corden went to Seattle for the choir trip. They went to clinics and had time to see the sights in Seattle. Mr. Sullivan was excited to see Garin because he was in the band in High School. Mrs. Prinzing, the choir teacher was in the choir with Garin in High school. She pulled the kids off the bus to show off their talents for Garin. Corden and Lauren are enjoying the trip in this photo.

Barton Graham Sloan came for a visit. He is a good eater and a good sleeper. He loves to be cuddled and I loved his soft skin, his cute facial expressions, his big feet and sweet newborn cry. There is nothing in the world quite like a newborn in the house. Welcome to our family. I hope you enjoy your time on earth. His first trial was a diaper rash but Diedre finally got it under control right before they went home.

Adorable Krew came for a visit. He loved my Woody and Buzz toys from Toy Story. He liked the flowers outside. He learned to put a puzzle together by himself after being shown a couple of times. He got sick and it was the first time I have seen him that way. He was a bit grouchy but still sweet. I loved it when he yelled ga ma! and ran to greet me.
