Finally Spring!!!!

I am so glad it is finally spring! I love Spring mostly because that means that camping, fishing, boating, gardening, hiking, biking, and tons of other outdoor activities are finally here! This spring is even better though because this spring Spencer graduates police academy! Neither of us can wait for that big day, he has done so well and work incredibly hard and these last couple weeks are no exception. He has an insane schedule but it will all be worth it in the end. So between that and the fact that we can be up at Sourdough within the month is everything we need to be happy right now.

In other news, Mother's Day was wonderful not only can I honestly say I have the two greatest moms in the world, but i have the two greatest moms for me and my husband! They are incredible and have done more for us than I could ever ask for and I can only hope that one day I can be half of what they have become! I love them both so much and I know Spencer feels the same!

We also got to talk to both Toshia and Landon on Mother's Day, finally! It is amazing how much you can miss your siblings and what great peace it brings to hear their voices and know that they are okay. Both said they are doing great! Toshia of course already wants to extend and the language is coming along great (she couldn't remember alot of her english, her mind is full of porteguese). She is also training and opening a new area, she is a trooper and loving every second! Landon is worried about coming home in a few months, and can't believe his time is already coming to an end, he also wishes he could have more time in the mission. He is as witty as ever and has a slight southern accent (Y'all is his favorite word...oh boy). We love to hear all their stories and can't wait until we get to talk to them again!

Let's see in news since I haven't blogged in forever.....Grandma fought cancer and overcame it like a warrior. It was a difficult few months but she never let it show and is now cancer free and doing great! Bandit and Stew are still as active as ever and excited for the warm weather.

Life is wonderful and I wouldn't change any of it!
