Good Morning! Marcella slept really well last night and woke up bright and early at 5:30 - she graciously let me sleep until 6:30 then wanted out of the playpen - so we got up and played. We ate an early breakfast at 7:30 - we had whole wheat pancakes and then we got dressed and did Marcella's hair. Now we are all ready to go outside when it warms up a little bit! She is anxiously waiting to get outside!

Kanien and Jon will be moving in with us June 1st so they are preparing the two rooms that they get. They will be living with us for the summer and then will move down to Provo. Jon was accepted into BYU so they will be living down there. We are going to put the crib for Marcella in the office. Jon and Kanien will have Kanien's old room and they will use the play room as a family room for them so they can escape from Jason and I if they need too!

Marcella would play with the toys and was fine until Kanien would start pulling off the panelling and then it would scare her and she would run out of the room or to me. She eventually got use to the noise though! She is spending the night with me tonight. We had a fun night playing until she got tired and then she went around the house calling and looking for her mommy and daddy - she hasn't ever done that before it was kinda sad. She stopped crying for them after 10 min. or so and we played for a little while longer and then when it was time for bed she cried for them again. I layed her down and she cried for a few minutes but is asleep now and that's where I'm headed. Tomorrow is a big day doing some yard work with the kids and having a bbq. Most of them (except for Nathan) have planned other things to get out of working in the yard all day! David and Rose will be working in her parents yard for awhile for them while they are vacationing. Kanien and Jon will be at the temple in the morning and then a luncheon for his mothers birthday and then they will come over here and Jason will be working to earn money instead of slave labor for his mother! (he might have it off though so we will see). Hopefully the weather is nice.

It was a cold day today but Marcella still loves to be outside. We took her outside for a few minutes before her nap. she loves going down the slide, swinging on the swing, playing in the sandbox - she just likes being outside.

I need to have Jon or Kanien show me how to turn or move the pictures again because I can't seem to do it. I've got the basics down but nothing fancy that's for sure.

Here are pictures of the Maple tree - This is for Dann's benefit. He wanted to see the dead branch that I want to chop off before I chop it off. Can't see it too well but you can get an idea I guess. It's the branch in the middle if you enlarge the picture you can see the branches on the far right have blooms on them but haven't bloomed out as much as the left side.
