- We had a busy week with all of the regular stuff plus Ruth's birthday, a trip to the Temple and Easter. John did not hear anything from any jobs. We have increased how many he is applying to as well as the type of job.
- I really needed that trip to the Temple. I am so glad that we did that. The Temple is about 70 miles away, but we would still like to be going twice a month. Our next trip will be for the youth.
- Ruth had her 18th birthday! She came home from school early to get in a good nap. She is now on spring break also included Friday for Good Friday.
- Kate is a bit sad with Ruth turning 18. Ruth is Kate's best friend and has always been so. She will be lonely when Ruth leaves.
- Johnny was a bit of a slacker with his school work, but so was everyone else.
- Adam actually didn't slack on his work. He woke up early and had just about everything done by 10am.
- Rachel sleeps in past 10 every morning. She always was the hardest to get up and motivated for school. Last year I told Rachel that she could hide Easter eggs this year. Good thing she remembered. I had completely forgotten. But she was very excited about it.
- If the kids do their school work through the week, I let them take Friday as an extra reading and creative day. Anya has been using that time to build some impressive lego spaceships.
- Joseph was terrible about his school work all week long, so he did not get his free time on Friday. He had to use it as a make-up day. But we are taking spring break along with Ruth, so I expect we will feel a lot better after a week of no school work.
- Joshua is good at sitting and concentrating on things. I am hoping that will make it easy to teach him when he starts as a kindergartener next year.
- Arwen changes her clothes way too much!!! It is driving me nuts because she will get into the folded, but not yet put away laundry and mess it all up.
- Today Josh informed us that Suzy is not the cutest kid in the family, but no one believes him. Suzy really is just an extra cute baby. Kate even said that she does not expect her babies to be as cute as Suzy because how can you beat her cuteness.
This Week's Pictures

Happy officially an adult birthday Ruth! I sympathize with Kate though. My sister and I are 18 months apart and we always did everything together.... we had the same friends, went the same places, then she left me to go on a mission and I felt a little betrayed but proud of her at the same time. We almost missed each other for 3 years. I went into the MTC and 5 hours later, my parents picked her up from the airport. Luckily the MTC President understood our situation and let Janelle come and visit me for an hour before I left for Ecuador. She still comes over all the time, and even though she's busy she makes time for me.
That's kind of funny and frustrating about Arwen. I remember when Anya used to change outfits over and over again.... And I agree... Susie is just too darn cute.
It looked like awesome birthday celebration. I do wish for you a wonderful spring break. The pictures were sweet. As you know the changing of clothes frequently is an age thing. I remember one doing that. It will be sad when the two sisters separate; but I am sure they will always be very close. Enjoyed reading your update as always. That baby doll is a cute one. Blessing and hugs!
our little one aint so little anymore...what a sweet and beautiful woman Ruth is.
