Oh! Hi! O! May 2007

Hey everyone! The month of May was a busy as ever and June isn't
slowing down either, even with school out now. Todd is out of town again,
he was in Orlando earlier this week and is now in Colorado Springs. At
least this time he gets to see family and is staying with Kirsten & Jared.
We are so jealous, especially Emily. She wanted to go with her dad and play
with her cousins there.
Just an FYI, we will be baptizing Emily in Spanish Fork on June 30th
at 6pm. We will also be doing a dinner afterwards. I'll be sending more
information later, just wanted to give everyone a head up so you can mark
your calendars. We would love you see you there!
As you all now by now, Hailey got stitches a week and a half ago
from falling off the couch and hitting our heavy solid wood coffee table.
Eight stitches over her right eyebrow. She is healing up very nice and
looks like it will be just a thin line of a scar and hardly noticeable as
time goes on. The coffee table is now moved away from the couch and sitting
under our big window in our family room so it won't happen again. I was too
big of a mess and don't ever want to experience it again. Other than that,
Hailey is getting so big, where has my baby gone? She thinks she's as big
as her siblings and tries to keep up with them outside. Good thing they and
their friends enjoy having her around (for now) :). 
Emily did real well in her piano recital and is now gearing up for
her dance and gymnastics recital on the 16th of June. She is also staying
very busy with her (machine pitch) softball games and is an awesome
shortstop. She never lets any balls get past her. Emily also hit a double
on her last game, clear out past the left fielder.	
Tyler also was great at their piano recital and still enjoys playing
his pieces on the piano everyday at home. He's glad school is over, but is
missing playing with his best friend everyday at recess. Tyler is now
gearing up for scout camp which starts on the 12th of June and out here Cub
camp goes for 4 days. Obviously they don't sleep over but go every morning
and come home every evening worn out.
Michael was wonderful at their piano recital and was the last
student to play which is an honor because his teacher saves the best one for
last. He surprised his teacher by asking for a four page piece called
"Midnight Chase" and she gave it to him with the understanding that if it
wasn't performance ready (by her standards, perfect and memorized) by
recital he would have to save it for another recital. Well, lets just say
that he had it performance ready a month before. I think she underestimated
his ability, but now she knows and is moving him at lightning speed through
his books. Michael also tested for 3 honors classes for upcoming freshman
and passed all of them. So now he is in Honors English, Honors 19th Century
World Studies, Honors Physical Science and two other advanced classes. He
already has homework for the summer to be handed in on the first day of
school for 2 classes. You'd think he would be mad about this, but he says
he can't wait for school to start. He definitely did not inherit this from
me! 
Michael is now 14 and will be ordained a teacher on Sunday the 10th.
He's excited to start going with the older boys, but still will be passing
the sacrament since our ward is very slim on young men.
My excitement for the month of May was to go with Mike's 8th grade
to Washington D.C. It was a great experience and Mike didn't mind his mom
hanging around. We saw so much and walked 23 miles in 3 days, I know this
because I took my pedometer. It was awesome to find Ben at Union Square (he
has grown so much!) which is an amazing feat considering the size of the
place and the sheer number of kids that were there with their schools.
Well, I think I've taken up enough space and will close for now. We
will see you all before the next newsletter is out and we can't wait! We
will get to Utah on the 26th of June and will be there until the 22nd of
July. Hopefully we can get together and do some fun things while there.
See you all soon!

Love,
Todd, Amy, Michael, Tyler, Emily and Hailey 

David's Move Comments From Family

Lake of the Ozarks is a wonderful place. Most people know the area around, Branson, Missouri. David will have a lot of great opportunities there. We loved visiting the beautiful area and going to some of the hot spots in Branson. Have fun David! We might have to all come and visit you. 

Sorry. I forgot that Branson was so far away. We have been fishing and canoeing at Osage Beach. There are some tourist attractions there as well. 

We used to go there a lot. We loved the area. Hope he will like it. It is so hot there right now.

Three cheers, it wasn't cancer!

From Myrna: I went back and got the second and third mammos this a.m. The tissue compressed and, so on the third view, they were able to tell that it was not cancer. I guess all of your prayers worked and Heavenly Father blessed me. Dad and Jim gave me a blessing also. At any rate, I have been smashed but I am going to live and not have a breast removed. That is good news to me. 
Love, M

From Amy G: This is the first I've anything about you having a cancer scare! I feel so bad that we didn't know, we could have been praying as well. It's good that you got good news and that it's not what everyone was worried about. I just
wish we would have heard before now. Had anyone told Todd, maybe over the phone? I would think he would have told me had he known.

We also had not heard anything about David and Bree moving to Missouri until
the email yesterday. Todd found out from Kirsten yesterday also. Is Barbara moving with them also? When are they actually moving? How are the kids doing with the news? The poor things have really been bounced around a lot.

Oh well, I guess this is what we get for living so far away. Is there
anything else going on that we should know about? Have a great weekend and
we are happy for your good news.

Love,
Amy
