So far behind on blogging

In February we travelled to Oklahoma for Buddy's baptism. We left home early Thursday morning. We travelled to Albuquerque, NM where we spent the night. Then early Friday morning we got up and drove the rest of the way to Amber's house. We had a really big surprise for Amber, we brought the mom with us. Amber and mom were both crying and then I cried. It was so great to see Amber and her family. We had a great time in Oklahoma. We went shopping, sight seeing, date night, Buddy's baptism,  and Stake conference. It was a really great visit but it was to short. It was great for Amber to meet David and for us to be there and support Buddy at his baptism.

 We blessed baby David on March 3, 2013. Here's dad and itty bitty after.
On Monday March 18th, 2013 I went to Overton with a few of my family members to my cousin Bryan's funeral. That day was his 28th birthday. He was killed a week earlier in Minnesota where he was living. The funeral was very hard. It was so very emotional. It also brought into perspective our many blessings and things that I need to change to align my life more with Christ. After the funeral we stopped at my Aunt Pauline's house and I took a picture of two of my cousins in there military duds. Bryan was in the Army. It was great to see so many family members.
When we took David to his four month appointment Dr. Walker was concerned with his head and his lack of muscle tone. She referred David to physical therapy for Hypotonia and to get his head evaluated and see if he needs a helmet. We are hoping that his Hypotonia will be improved with therapy and will not be a result of something worse like Muscle Dystrophy. His first therapy appointment is on April 1st.
Things are so busy all the time. David is still working at Steamroller part time and doing school online. He keeps busy between these two things. Mom is working very hard at the doctors office with two big projects going on. She comes home and crashes. Christy is going to school and goes to an after school program two days a week. Treyven is growing and learning daily, same with David. We are getting ready to redo a couple rooms in our house. We are going to move the boys into the back bedroom together and move Christy into the boys room and make the green bedroom the guestroom. We have been doing a lot of work out in the yard. We planted a bunch of things in the garden. It's nice to be able to go out and work in the yard. We love that the weather has changed so we can spend more time outside.
