Congratulations Kim and Treven! It sounds like given the birth control you may be more than a bit surprised about your big announcement but we are excited for you! As many of us know all too well it seems that we are blessed with children when the Lord wants, not necessarily when we want. I've been hoping there would be a cousin for Danica to play with and now it seems like there will be two! Hooray!! So have you established when you are due? I bet you have a million things to worry about and plan, please let me know if there is anything we can help out with.

As usual things here are good. We were watching some of the awards show tonight and thinking about you Marnie. Did you have a good party? I'd love to see some pictures. Tom is off school for spring break this whole next week. Tomorrow we are headed south to the cabin, should be a lot of fun. Here are a couple of funny Hayden stories:

1. I might have told this before but I was laughing about it again today- one day I was working on an email on the computer and Hayden wanted to play a computer game. He came over to me and I told him he needed to wait. He got inpatient and after a few minutes I looked over and he was standing there completely naked!! He said "I took off all my clothes because you won't let me have the computer!" It was really hard not to laugh!

2. Hayden made me proud today. Hayden's primary teacher told us that today at church he said the opening prayer and he got up in front and said to the class "Now what do we do first?" "Fold our arms!" "Now close you eyes and go like this (head bowed)." Then he waited for everyone to do it. And apparently part way through the prayer he suddenly stopped and said "Oh yeah, my mom said that we can kneel too!"

3. Hayden is also very manipulative. For instance, he loves to stall when going to bed. When I put him down for his nap I read him a story and then say good night and leave. Lately he lays in bed yelling things to me like "We forgot to brush our teeth." "I want to give you another kiss!" and when stuff like that doesn't work he gets smarter and says "We forgot to say our prayers!" "We need to read our scriptures!" What I am supposed to say to a request like that! :)

4. Have I told you all that Hayden is very into the scripture stories he is learning at church? He loves the song "Follow the Prophet" and "Nephi's Courage" and sings them all the time. However, he happens to be obsessed with the bad guys in all the stores. One of the sunbeam teachers told me today that when they act out the stories in sharing time most of the kids don't want to be Laman and Lemual or King Laban but they can always count on Hayden to be begging to play these parts! Should I be worried about this?

Okay, I think he has finally gone to sleep so I can go finish packing for tomorrow. We are thinking of taking a trip out to Vancouver in May. Maybe May9-May23 or so. Tom has three weeks off so we are flexible. Are there any special events or activities going on during May that we should try to be there for? I hope you're all doing well. Have a great week!
