New update!

Cap. Moroni at work!
Nathan was in the road show as well-he held up the sheet behind sponge bob! Everyone has their role!

Well, things here have been pretty good for us. Had a fun road show w/ the mutual at church. Chad had the starring role as "Cap. Moroni"! It was pretty good-(pictures above)! We went to Moab for spring break- too much wind-not enough for little ones to do-but great to get away-and the warm was wonderful! (pictures coming soon!) Ashton is doing pretty good considering-even went on a date. So that is a good sign of some healing-we hope. Getting geared up for dance recital with Kaylee-(pictures in a couple of weeks!)-soccer has also started for her! We had trauma of her getting four teeth pulled today-two baby and two perm. that were under the gums still-not fun for anyone-and have to have the same thing done on the other side in a couple of weeks-(no pictures of this!) believe me it wasn't pretty. Let's see what else-grandma and grandpa Hamilton got back from China last week. Good to have them back on our continent! They brought lots of pictures and t-shirts-the t-shirts were from the Olympics-cool to be a kid at school with a shirt with something that hasn't happened yet!

We have had some hard things happen with some good friends of ours. Their son, who graduated from high school last year committed suicide. It has been very tough. Really anyone who has had to try and raise teenagers just has the fear of the world put in them through something like this. It has been one of the toughest things. It has just really broken our hearts to see their family go through this and it really makes you look at your priorities. We like to think that we do a lot for and with our kids-but how do you ever know for sure if they are getting all that they need. We feel very helpless-you can offer all that you want-but there really isn't much that we can do to help them. Pray for them a lot-which we do-but it is hard for us to find comfort-so we just can't even imagine what it must be like for them. Everyone go hug your kids-and pray for all parents and children that you know.

Well on that uplifting note!- more later!
