WEEK 1 ~ 4/8/2018
Dear fabulous family,
1) March 25 - April 6 Beautiful, beckoning, blazing hot, beloved Bali is behind us and it’s good to be home. But oh, what a trip!!! Each picture really is worth a 1000 words, and there are 1000’s of photos. I’ll spare you the onslaught of vacation photos and simply share 7...
2) One of our Bali guides, “Yoga”, was quite the sage teaching us by his repeated kidding “Not joking, not happy.” ;o}
...so keep joking.
WEEK 2 ~ 4/15/2018
1) April 7 - 11 Marvelous Mississippi. We flew from Bali to Shanghai to LAX to Houston to Jackson. Chris met our flight and drove us to Brookhaven for a select few days with these cute kids (Jami & Chris included as ‘cute'). All too soon we were driving our CRV back to SLC April 12th and 13th,
2) arriving just in time for...a church cleaning assignment, a tour of Lincoln & Carrie’s lot with foundation,
Josh and Carlie’s soccer game, dinner and game night with Steph, Jerel, Lincoln & Carrie. Then..
3) April 15 Paden Cole Gerber’s blessing day. Rayson pronounces a remarkable blessing. Callie bakes a mean chocolate cake.
4) That’s all for now. We are staying still for nearly 2 weeks. We are in the process of finding time to spend with Jerry’s family and Britni’s family when we travel to the NW this summer.

Here’s what’s been happening.
1) April 22nd & 23rd. We took CarLa on a mini tour. Dinner with Layton Kelley’s, tapioca with Centerville Howells, breakfast with Bountiful Howells, lunch with West Valley City Mom, David, (and Gerber’s), tailgating Luke’s baseball game in South Jordan (no photo) but I have one of some delicious pizza...
2) April 24th. Tayva is my sister’s caboose, 7th child and 7th missionary (New Zealand). We joined her family for our first session at the Provo City Temple.
3) April 25th. The next day I played with the Gerber kids while Callie & Rayson celebrated their 9th anniversary. (Tucked in a 4 generation photo)
4) April 29th. Colleen Howell Poulson 1940-2018. What an incredible sendoff for an amazing sister! She’d asked Lane to speak and he did a great job. Too many tears of gratitude.

April 26th - Hatcher Hansen is TWO
April 29th - Dalia is now a beehive!
We love you forever
