Rachael, Thatcher and Taggart came to visit for 3 weeks. We had a great time. Thatcher loves tractors and enjoyed riding with me on the lawn mower. Can't wait for him to come where he can ride it himself, for about 2 1/2 hours!

Where have we been? So much to do in so little time. So to help catch you up, here are a few highlight over the past 6 months.

On April 7th, Michael celebrated #51. For a treat, we thought we would try out a Mexican restaurant here in RI that many people like. Just to fill you in, New Englanders don't really like spicy food, so there are very few Mexican restaurant here. The ration of Italian to Mexican restaurants is somewhere around 400:1. So we go to "Mr. Taco" (we should've relized that with that name we were if for trouble) and basically leave before any of us finished our dinners. Bad doesn't describe it - it was more like muy mal! A birthday dinner to remember.

In March, David played on the Ward YM/YW volleyball team. They came in 2nd in the Stake tournament, due the all YM team from Warwick. Here we see David getting ready to set up the serve from the other team.

Jon went back to BYU-I in January, so to help him out at school, we got this great deal on a Saturn Ion. Here is Jon and Mike just before they embarked on their cross country drive to Idaho. They made the trip with the families new toy - a Garmin GPS handheld. According to Mike, it is the greatest thing to come along since caffeine-free Dr. Pepper!
