Busy week

Re: ####

Dear Braden,

How are thing going? Did you have water this week? I hope so. If not, go buy some to drink! You don't want to get sick from germ water.

So the other email I sent you is your pin number....the numbers are in order.  And that reminds me, you bought shirts for everyone when you got out, You need to buy new ones before you come home because everyone has grown.  Ethan and Parker now wear children's large or size 12-14, Hope wears a child's 10 or medium. Yes, she is big for her age.

This week was pretty exciting-or at least the weekend was.  Dad and I made a fast trip to BYUi to listen to Paige sing.  Knowing her, she told you all about it already. She and Zach had a conspiracy going, to make sure that we came to hear her sing and to make dad cry...  So, she sang a song called "I know, because my father knew" it was a beautiful piece, and yes, dad cried! Okay, I did a little.

Zach stayed home and got Parker off to scout camp and Ethan to his karate test on Friday.  And then he took Ethan to a card tournament on Saturday. He has really gotten into MAGIC the card game.  It is kinda funny, he and a few of his friends love it and go to games on Friday nights when they can.  They are the youngest ones there and don't win much. But they like it anyways.  Ethan has even started staying after school to play it with other kids.

Tina volunteered to have Hope sleep over and stay at her house, so Dad and I could go alone. It was the quietest drive ever.  It was nice not to have to listen to a movie and hear kids complain the whole way.

Paige introduced us to another friend she has made. Apparently he has cancer and is on med's for it. I would never have guessed. He is a pretty up beat guy and happy. It's great to know that Paige has made some great friends that will keep her on the straight and narrow and look out for her.

Today was another ward conference and I guess that the topic will be the same for every ward again this year.  However, the Stake Pres. has an open discussion and asked questions during the combined meeting and it is interesting how different they go.

Love ya, Mom

Things are going well here, we have water and we will never run out of water again because they installed a extra pump in our compound so the water will always have enough pressure to go to the tank. Sounds like you have had a lot of stuff going on. Im sure paige did a good job with the song. Not much has really happend we did get a few invesitgators again in our teaching pool but still have a lot of work to do. We also have interviews with pres. again on wednesday
