Our April in a Nutshell



April has been wonderful for us. Many things happening to remind us of what's most important: family. From attending Dustin and Sara's wedding, to attending an uncle's funeral, to celebrating Ian's 8th birthday (baptism May 3rd @ 6:00) it all points to Heavenly Father's plan of happiness.
We had so much fun mingling with family and supporting the Jay Eves clan in Idaho and Oregon. I'm sure the wedding party didn't have as much fun as the rest of us due to all the responsibilities, but they pulled off a lovely reception with poise and grace. Being there really got us excited for the family reunion this summer.
Alexis' uncle passed away this month after fighting cancer for 8 years. Her dad gave a heart warming eulogy. And the event gave us a chance to take a new family picture (posted).
And lastly...Ian's birthday was this last Friday. We had his party Saturday night and Dave's Batman cakes were AMAZING!! (see photo for the proof!) He had his baptism interview last Sunday and passed, of course. We were a little worried when we explained the week before that he got to decide if he wanted to be baptized and he said, "I get a choice??" But he never said he didn't want to, so that's a very good sign.
(Oh, and we put vinyl siding on the house this month.)
