Hey Son,

Well, it was a pretty busy week.  The girls had a piano recital on Monday and then we just went and bought some ice cream after to eat.  Tuesday Annie had a dentist appointment after school and they cleaned Marge's house.  Then we drove over to Logan to HuHot to eat.  The last time we ate there was with you before Annie cheered at the USU field. Wednesday I had a Booster Club cheer meeting.  The girls went to young women's. The missionaries talked to the Laurels about being missionaries and getting referrals.  Thursday night we went to watch Cameron Earnest do Mr. Box Elder.  He was sooo funny! The curly haired kid that was in footloose won. Kilpatck or something. Yang was Mr. Congenitality.  We then went to open the mission call.  Cameron was like a little kid.  I've never seen him so excited or scared.  He is going to Milwaukee, Wisconsin mission which I'm sure he already e-mailed you.  He was happy.  I can't imagine being Amber and having two go.  Austin Bingham did his Friday night.  He is going to Mexico.  I can't remember the name but dad will. Saturday Halle had a volleyball tournament at Box Elder.  It was nice to have it here.  Grammy and Grandpa watched a few games.  Nicole's team played.  I hollered at her but she was busy and just waved.  A little while later she called and had ran to Wal-Mart and wondered if I needed a drink.  I said no but would she like to go get a drink or go to dinner after. She said yep!  I left and ran to Latisha's for Alyssa's shower. She is due in 2 weeks.  They sold their town home so next weekend they are moving in with Latisha.  Latisha was clearing out Chance's closet and he had written all the dogs names that had died. She said she sat and cried and sent Alyssa and Chad a picture.  They want to buy a house but until they find one, they will stay there.  Anyway, Nicole called me and said she would just grab Bug but Brett was there and she wanted to shower so Craynors brought her home.  So, Nicole forgot she had to give Bug's coach Jessica a ride home.  She went home called and said she was going to shower.  I suggested we go to Zupas in Ogden so she could help me get you some ties.  I went and got her in Mantua so she didn't have to leave her car at our house overnight because we took her up Ogden Canyon to a reception her dad's band was at when we were done.  SOOOO, we chatted driving and it was good to catch up with her.  Then, I bought the girls, her, and I dinner at Zupas.  Then, we went to Dillards and she helped Annie look for a dress for Purple and White.  It was nice to have her help.  Annie didn't find one but it was fun to try them on.  Then we went to the tie shop.  Nicole picked out two flowered ones and then one that isn't bright but she liked and wanted you to have.  I know you said paisley but they didn't really have bright paisley ones.  I haven't sent the package yet so Ill go look at one more store before I mail.  Annie tried dresses on at a few more places.  LEX is engaged.  It happened like Friday I think.  She is happy and Jenny said he treats her good and they get a long.  I am happy for her.  Bug, Annie, Mallorie, Marianne, and Ashtyn are headed to St. George for spring break.  We only get two days off.  We are going to stay in the villa and just play around.  Elder Heaton text me and had me set up "Whats App" for Neves.  Then Connor gave my number to Neves so he will be getting a hold of me.  Connor seems like a good kid.  I wish he could've finished serving his mission.  SO MORE NEWS... Kassie facetimed us at 9 am this morning and she is going on a mission.  She said ever since she has watched you, she has thought about it.  She still checked out Utah State because she was praying to see what was right.  She is very emotional and excited... She is about done with papers and is putting May as available date.  So many people leaving it will be like last summer.  It is so hard but such a good thing especially for all of your future families and lives.  Bayleigh Merrill's papers are in.  She said it may be a little longer because of conference.  Also they asked Grandpa John and Grammy to be over the geneaology.  They have to take a class and stuff.  I think grandpa will love it.  MARKS DAD DIED....  It is a relief but Mark is still sad. The missionaries asked me to cook them dinner and bring to them since dad wasn't going to be here. Then they showed up later with Tyler Cordner and jumped on the tramp.  They wanted to watch conference too but dad worked.  Gosh!  I can't wait to talk to you on Mother's Day!!!!  Should I make sure to have a skype again?  Will you go to the church again?  I LOVE you!!!  Let me know when you are here.

LOVE YOU,
MOM

Mom: What do you think of Cameron?  Send me a picture of the cute sister missionary so I can see what my grandchildren will look like.

Cam:  LOL, funny! I am excited for him.

Mom: I was serious. I am going to be the best grandma ever... they'll be beautiful regardless. Bayleigh will get her call this week or next. Jackson had to read something and then the stake president will submit his papers.

Cam: That is good for them.

Mom: What do you think of Kassie? She face timed us yesterday morning. Hollie was due yesterday and no baby...

Cam: Good for Kassie. So, what will they do with Hollie?

Mom: They will let her go a week over and then I guess start her if nothing has happened. I thought that's why we were getting FaceTime. Leon was a little in shock. He is proud of Kassie but he misses you a lot.  I think we all know now it is so stinking hard but can be done. I've noticed she's had her scriptures out every time she's stayed at our house. I talked with Elder Heaton last night. He has me hooked up to talk to Neves. He will give Neves my info to call me. When I watched a show after conference about helping refugees I cried and thought we need to help Neves get a better life.  I've almost made it a school year and only one more til your home. Have you talked to Bott? I'm Excited for him to be home. I'm proud of you. Who else is close to baptism? Is it normal to wait in between baptism and confirmation like you are on Alice?

Cam: No, I haven't talked to Bott in a while.  You confirm in sacrament and we didn't have sacrament Sunday.

Mom: Oh, that makes sense. Did you get a package from Tracey and them? Nicole said she sent a letter and you haven't said anything..,

Cam: I don't know it is probably in the office. I haven't got it yet. I will see this week.

Mom:  I told Nicole that. I can't remember when Tracey sent hers but it should be there. O.K., I'm sending ties, jersey, hats, Clorox sticks... anything else? What do you think of Austin going to Mexico?

Cam: Can you send the one that is like a deodorant stick?  I don't use the ones that are like pens.

Mom: Ok. That's good to know. What about Austin's call?

Cam: Good for him!

Mom: It will be good. Tell me about your investigators.

Cam:  We need new ones.

Mom: So, you don't have one for the 15th?

Cam:  Yes, if she gets married.

Mom:  Do you think they will? Do you like where your at? Are you helping your friend build his house? That would be a great service and experience.

Cam:  I don't know but I hope they will.  I do.  I have offered a lot.

Mom: Just go and start helping. What else? Who is your favorite family?

Cam: Edinaldo or Lucienes family. I have to go mom.  I love you.

Mom: I love you son...
