Dear others.

WARD WIDE WEB
Jeremy took the boys for the night to the annual Fathers and Sons camp-out/over-nighter. They had a great trip - all 12 hours they were there. They headed up the hill for a slice of pizza before making their way over to the campground. Jeremy set up a tent, sleeping bags, pillows, etc., projector, dvd player, big screen, grill, and whatever else only to take it all down again in the morning. The boys had a great time just being with dad, hanging out, and sleeping in a tent together. Is he the best dad or what?

Jennifer is still just busy with life. No big news. Nothing new happening here. Piano lessons, housework, (no homework this week - one blessing of STAR testing), cooking dinner, blogging, and date nights are the norm around here.

Trevor (in case you haven't heard) WON 1st PLACE AT Destination Imagination STATE FINALS!! His team is now on their way to Tennessee to compete in the Global Finals. We are currently fundraising like crazy to pay for this trip. If you would like to make a tax deductible donation please visit our family blog and click the PayPal button on the top right of your screen. Or, you can donate items to our Yard Sale this Saturday, May 8th, at the kids' school. Stop by and buy some treasures for your home and support Trevor's D.I. team!

Logan is busy playing baseball. He has 2 games (3 hours each) + one practice every week (2 hours) = 8 hours of baseball a week! That's a LOT of ball time! He's still working on his catching and throwing. He is doing really well with his batting - first in the line-up - that's my boy! The best part of the season so far was when the coach realized that Logan was related to Grandpa Louie. Coach then relayed a story from his teenage years: he was out T.P.ing with some fellow deacons and got caught and "arrested" by Officer Duran!

Lizzie lost one of her two front teeth! She was so excited to leave her tooth for the tooth fairy, but she was busy that night. All her cousins assured Lizzie that in fact, the tooth fairy can be VERY busy at times and not to worry - she'd be there the next night for sure. (Thank heavens for cousins!) And yes, the tooth fairy did show the next night. All is well in our 6 year old girl's life.

Jackson is finally pooping on the toilet!! Yes, he is 4 years old now. And yes, he has finally mastered the art of going #2. We all feared the poopy chonis would be with us the rest of his life, but no worries - he's good to GO! (all puns intended here... get it? - good to "GO", *wink wink*)



Waddell's
We're all in good health, minus some colds and lots of reflux still, but we can handle all that. Still in Colorado, still looking for another job and still trying to survive crazy weather out here...

What i really want to say is HELP! I found out that a great Dr friend of mine has a son with cancer that needs some blood donated in his name to the California Blood bank and I knew that my family could help me out in my absence... The child's name is Max Hinton and you can just go down and say that it's for him before you donate and they'll set it aside for his use. He's 6 years old and will need lots of transfusions due to cancer near his kidney and spine. Prognosis looks iffy at this point, but they can use all the blood you can spare. Being out of town, i feel helpless, so if you can and want to please go and donate. Thanks so much, I appreciate you all.
