Exciting couple of weeks

It has been in exciting couple of weeks! Reggie and Ainsley were baptized on February 21. And my parents came into town to celebrate the occasion!!! 
Here they are enjoying the nice, warm sun:
Our good family friends came to support the kids, the Williams and Caldeira's, along with Kelly and Wayne and a couple of others from Reggie school who just happen to be at the service. The hot tub heater went out so it was a bit chilly, but we survived! Afterward the whole group went to Menchies for some frozen yogurt. We sure made that place really loud and I bet they were happy when we left. I am so proud of the kids and this choice that they have made....they sure are good kids :). 



We finally made it to the eye doctor after our discovery at the science center around Christmas that Ainsley could not see very well. She is mildly nearsighted with vision around 20/30 to 20/40. She picked out the glasses all by herself and was very excited to get them and test them on many different things. I wish this would be something that she might grow out of but the doctor said it will likely get worse :(. 
Last weekend I was in Seattle by myself spending time with family and attending grandpa's memorial. I hate to say it but sometimes funerals can be a good thing because they bring family together. It was fun to see everyone and all the little ones and not have to worry about mine. I did miss them and I knew that they would've had fun so that made it a little hard. It has been a long time since I have been away and it was nice to actually miss my family and have them miss me! 
Reggie had his crossing over ceremony for Cub Scouts this weekend and we are now officially done (although he will participate in the derby car race). 
His flag football team also made the playoffs and as soon as I got off the plane we raced to his game. He played really well and they ended up winning so now they are in the "Super Bowl". 
K spent the weekend with his aunt so at least Ryan only had the two older kids to worry about. He has been having strange swollen glands under his ears and he had a blood draw that showed nothing. I'm thinking/hoping it may be his molars coming in but it was so painful there for a couple days that he could not turn his head :(. Court update: we were granted a miss trial so we have a new judge and the next court date is April 17. Prayers much appreciated!
