Happy 7th Birthday, Caitlin and Courtney

Caitlin and Courtney were so excited for their birthday because Grandma Margaret, Grandpa Dennis and Great-Grandma Black came to visit and were with us to celebrate.  In the morning, they opened their present from Grandma and Grandpa.  Later that day, they went to an Easter Egg Hunt.  They had a great time even though it was raining.  We also watched two sessions of General Conference. That evening, we sang Happy Birthday, opened their presents and they blew out their candles.  Caitlin wanted purple cupcakes and Courtney wanted yellow cupcakes.  Yum!  It was a great day! 



Pinewood Derby

With Grandma Madsen's death and the birth of our twin babies, Spencer's Pinewood Derby car was forgotten until a couple of days before the event.  Spencer and Paul finished it at the very last minute with the help of a friend from our ward, Jim Varley, and his power tools.  Spencer dubbed the car, "The Golden Bullet."  It came in 3rd place!  Spencer was very proud of his car and loves his trophy!

Gettysburg Trip with Dad

Paul and Spencer went to Gettysburg with some people from his school including his best friend Eric.  We took a bus.  We went on a tour of the battlefields.   It was a rainy day but they learned a lot and had a great time with each other.

Schoolhouse Rock!

Rachel performed in her school musical, "School House Rock."  The play was entertaining and educational.  We loved watching Rachel dance and sing!  She did a great job!
