“Oh My Son, Remember…” – Letters to Calder on His Mission

Ok...I'm going to run through my picture highlights because I really think it's gone. Dang! -lunch celebration with my Mom, Lara, and sister for Kimberly's bday - 41st bday. -screen shot from Pam's phone that says Ukraine is open for all tourists. I feel it coming. Like I'm being prepared for your next departure. Do you feel it? -Stu-boy would be your favorite! We had the Simmons' kids over on Saturday so Ryan and Kimberly could go out and he was cracking us up the entire time. -Our upstairs plans for the remodel we hope to start on April 15th. I have an appointment at 11am to pick out tile, so keep that in mind as we plan out the phone call -Saw the play Ryan directed on Tuesday with Gma and Gpa. It was so fun! You would have loved it. Oh I'm dying because this is such a bad attempt at a great email that I spent forever writing. I am so sorry. Just know how much I love you. How grateful I am for you! I am praying for you, Elder Gregerson, Danniel,...

Well...I hope you loved your St Patty's Day package! Good news, Lucky the Leprechaun came this year. It was all the traditional things...lucky charms and green pancakes for breakfast, money in the hallway, my "Lucky Mama" shirt, and this year the leprechaun even went pee in the toilet, which Jane could not stop talking about. (pics 1-5) This weekend was fast and furious with a sleepover for Jane and Sally - pic 6 - (a girls night out request from Sally), McKay's friends on Friday night, Henry's on Saturday, Gwen with friends late both nights, Hanging out with Grandma and Grandpa H, watching the NCAA BYU BB game (which they lost - boo!), the annual Sunday YM/YW planning meeting at our house (late planning due to COVID this year), lots of snow and rain and McKay riding his bike in it (some say crazy, some say dedicated) - pic 7, YM/YW food donation pick up activity, and just keeping the food coming in and the trash going out. One highlight was having the Horsl...

So, I'm on pins and needles....and I've been praying a ton for you this week that you'd be able to be in an area where you can baptize two people and that you will be able to understand the WHY behind what happens. Can't wait to hear. Well...I'm still on cloud nine STILL from our conversation last week. It was the best to talk to you and learn from your wisdom. Honestly, thank you from the bottom of my heart for the words and scriptures you shared. The week was fast and furious. Tuesday I went skiing with Kimberly, Christine, Dad and my brother Scott who was in town for his spring break. Jay couldn't come because of work but we named it "national sibling ski day" and plan to make it a thing. It wasn't my favorite type of ski day. The visibility was really bad and it was crunchy snow but I loved the people I was skiing with! We skied at snowbird and it was fun to be on at that resort again. Sophia brought Jaina and Liam up from Arizon...

Calderoni!!! Picture 1 & 2 = Super fun week watching Henry's play off jr jazz games! It was extra fun because we had an awesome cheering section. On Tuesday night Gma, Gpa, Hunt and me all cheered on Henry when he played insanely amazing. Super fun to have everyone there to see it. He made so many clutch shots, fierce rebounds, and buzzer beaters. The game went into overtime and Henry clinched the win the last minute. He played his heart out and was definitely the MVP. Luckily we took this team picture that night because on Wednesday night they weren't as lucky. I think Henry was tired and the team on Wednesday night were much better defenders. Henry's team just couldn't pull it out. He was very disappointed. One of the greatest parts - besides watching him play - was watching Gpa get into the game. He LOVED it! You would have been proud! And the Groovemister was at his finest. Such a good coach! I think McKay is thinking that he wants Dad to coach a te...
