We're so excited to be sending out our first missionary! Kara is preparing everyday through study, prayer, and following the mission rules of going to bed by 10:30pm and getting up at 6:30am. We've been shopping for clothes and shoes. We plan on dropping her off at the MTC on our way home from Disneyland in August. Its all pretty exciting!

Apparently....the squirrel did it!
Poor Hyrum. He got sick at church so I had to take him home early. He spent most of the day on the couch with a fever and a bowl nearby (if you know what I mean.) When we talked about him being sick he offered this explanation:
Apparently, there was a squirrel with a coconut. When the squirrel dropped the coconut it cracked open and there was water in it. Hyrum supposedly drank the water and it "dunked" (not sure about that definition!) him in the stomach and made him sick. And if that wasn't enough, he woke up this morning feeling much better because, according to him, he "spit out the beaver." (Translated, that means his fever was gone.)
Anyway, I'm not sure what world he lives in, but it's a happy one! Even when he was sick and was asked, "How are you doing?" His response was, "I'm doing great!"

Spirit Week at SMS
McKay is really getting into spirit week at school. Monday was wacky hair day and, as you can see from the photo, it was pretty wacky. Jesse helped him put tacky glue in his hair the night before in the style of a faux hawk. He slept in it that night and was already to go as soon as he woke up. Yesterday was business day (McKay dressed in a suit) which, coincidentally, doubled for wearing church clothes to school for the mini-mission this week. Today is "decade" day. McKay wore Dad's letterman's jacket and deck shoes to represent the eighties.
The boys just had their spring concerts. McKay likes playing the bass guitar, but I think he would like more "jazzy" parts. If you really want to hear his musical abilities, check out McKay's original music to the left. (He actually had a recording studio check out his myspace profile and contact him as an "artist of interest" in looking for new talent to sign!) Ammon and Jesse are in drumline and band. Ammon also does jazz band. This video is of the drumline. I was excited to get both boys in the picture at the same time so that I didn't have to go back and forth and miss either one of their parts. Jesse does a great job on the mallets and drums (even a snazzy little hand clapping) and Ammon has some pretty sweet flicks of the drum stick!
"I Got Rhythm"
He Loves to Swim!
Hyrum has just finished up his second session of swim lessons. On the last day of swim class they get to play in the pool—going down the slide, jumping off the diving board into the deep end, etc. He absolutely loves swimming and asks everyday if it is a swimming day.
Check out those muscles!
