Family Update :


Hi everyone. i have been slacking on this site. i dont have my own computer or anything so i have to share with everyone else in the house. it would be so much easier if i had my own computer though. but this will have to due.
Cassey is doing fine out to sea. he left Thailand and is now dangling out to sea for a while. I wont report where he will be next until he reaches shores. For those of you wondering, no he has nothing to do with the pirates we have been having problems with lately. They are on the other side of where cassey is currently located. But i cant make promises he wont ever have something to do with them. We never know what happens on those waters.
Cassey and I spent time together for a couple days in Guam. We stayed with Tara while we were there. Japan got canceled so we took the chance to spend time in Guam since Tara lives there. Thought it might be a good opportunity to spend time with Tara and see what Guam is like. We had fun.
Kimberly said her bedtime prayer last night. She used her words well last night. We could understand her speech. We are proud of her success in trying to speak and use her words.
Collin is also doing well. he just turned 2 yrs old. He is becoming a bigger tease to his sister and others around him. He celebrated his birthday at Red Robin. He had fun and loved his toys he got.
We celebrated Easter in Boise with Grandma Babbitt and all the cousins. It was fun. We spent Easter time hiding eggs at the park and split the older kids up with the smaller kids so they could have a chance at finding the eggs.
As some of you may know, Last night we lost Melon. He passed away due to getting run over by someone in a truck in the area. He wasnt bleeding but we think he got knocked out pretty badly because he wasnt responding and he wasnt breathing. But his heart was beating and then fainting slowly. He was a good dog. He liked to bark if left alone, but he was a loveable dog. He will be missed. The kids ask where he is, But all i can say to them right now is, "He's sleeping". It was hard but i will always remember how excited he would get when we play with him or when he played with Bella. (Bella was melons best friend and yvonnes dog.)
Right now i am looking for homes in San Diego. I plan to go back in June. We will see what we find. If i can find something sooner, i may go back as soon as i can. I need to get kimberly registered back into the schools there. Much to do and less time to do it. As usual for us.
Well thats the scoop. I will do my best to update more.

Good to hear what's going on with your family. I am sorry for the loss of your dog.
The kids are growing, they look really cute and happy.
Loralee had her baby boy (Tyler) a couple weeks ago. He had some breathing problems so he had to be in the NICU about 9 days but he's home and doing well. Maggie is having a baby in October (she doesn't know what yet). I am sure you keep up with Rebecca and Patti (they are due within a month of each other). Timalee has been touring Italy for the past two weeks and is due back this week. Cari Ladd got called as the new stake young women's president. I think that's about all the "news" from this side of the globe. Take care!
