Greetings from the Desert

Another wonderful week has passed in Northeastern Nevada. We are in the midst of some wonderful spring weather. Yesterday, today and tomorrow will be in the 70's and things are beginning to bloom, so we are glad to have some nicer weather. It has been nice all week and last Sunday we all went for a nice drive after Conference out to Jiggs. While out there we all saw a badger run across the road as well as a herd of deer grazing.

Before we forget we want to send a big happy birthday out to Grandma Bates.

Everyone is doing well. The boys were back to school this last week and it is amazing to think that in just 7 weeks they will be done. The kids get done the last week in May. They were excited this past week as they both were invited to a birthday party for one of our neighbors. Matthew ended up going, but Nikolas decided at the last minute he rather would go to the park, so while Nikolas went to the park, Matthew went to the party. Andy was in Salt Lake City Saturday attending a funeral for the mother of a friend of ours from law school. His trip went well and gave him lots of time to think about his trial. Gail is doing well and is looking forward to doing a Pampered Chef show this upcoming week.

Andy had his first solo jury trial which was very exciting. The trial lasted 2 days and the reports are that he did a good job. He continues to really enjoy his job and has finally found both an office and area of the law which he enjoys. He found out this week he will be heading up the representation for juvenile offenders. His office will begin representation of them beginning in June. He is very excited about being able to do that. This week should be quiet for him as he has no trials scheduled for the near future.

We hope all of you are well.
