Congratulations Jake and Kenzie!!!! Very exciting :-) That helped decide when Gwen took her trip to UT for the summer - good thing the swimming lessons are earlier in June! Monday we had a family bowling day. The kids did pretty good and the white-haired's next to us were entertained by the kids bowling. Tuesday Jim had the day off (we have had a hard time getting the mexican candy needed for Jim's business) so Gwen worked in Reagan's classroom while Jim and John ran errands and took the van in for alignment. That night Jim had EQ Employment night at the Stake Center and Gwen and Cara went to the sealing for cousin Carol Crandell and Shon. It was a very nice evening and they had a lot of support. Wednesday morning Gwen had a long presidency meeting. Later John didn't feel so good and he layed around abit, so after school Gwen and Reagan planted the garden. Sure wish dad were around to give some helpful hints, although this arizona planting seems to be alot different than UT! That afternoon John complained of a hurt stomach so we got to the doctor before closing and found out that John has strep - yippee. It was a really rough couple of nights. So Thursday we stayed home. Friday Gwen got the kids signed up for swimming, after lunch her and the kids ran a couple of errands, including getting "summer fun movie" tickets. It's 10 movies (one movie a week) throughout the summer for $7 per person! Hopefully this will get us out of the house but somewhere cool too! We were going to head to Pinedale this weekend but that night Reagan complained of a sore throat so, sure enough, she had sores in her mouth. Saturday at the doctor she said it wasn't strep, but like mouth blisters - yipee. So we stayed in this weekend. Jim went to priesthood on Saturday afternoon and Gwen went to Stake Conference on Sunday. We are now on the mend (except for those darn allergies) and we hope everyone is well. Love, Jim Gwen Reagan and John p.s. we have really entered the sibling fighting stage. The pattern seems to be, John poking or scooching really close to Reagan to bother her and she yells/cries like she is dying, yeah.
