We have had a busy and fast week. Sickness has struck our home. Matthew was not feeling well last Sunday, then Nikolas was sick and home from school Monday until Wednesday, followed by Gail who began Thursday and is finally feeling a bit better after a trip to see the doctor. The boys are excited because this next week is spring break.

We hope you all had a nice Easter. We attended church at a small branch on the Duck Valley Indian Reservation in Owyhee. Our family were the speakers and the boys did a great job. Our family doubled the attendance at the meeting. In total there were 9 people. After church we were invited to stay for lunch and then came home to have our own Easter celebration which was nice. We did have an Easter egg hunt. Gail has become quite the negotiator, ending the evening with nearly all the Hersey's Dark Chocolates. Matthew was this year's egg fight champ.

Andy had a busy week. The jury on his murder trial came back with its verdict on Monday and found his client guilty of voluntary manslaughter, which was significantly less than what the state charged. The rest of his week was spent catching up on things which built up over the time of the trial. Thursday evening he drove up to Jackpot, NV, for a trial on Friday morning. Jackpot is about 70 miles north of Wells and basically is 4 casinos which sit on the Idaho border. The trial went well and he got a not guilty verdict.

Friday afternoon he came back and Gail then went off the SLC to do a Pampered Chef show Saturday morning. The boys had a Dad's night out. We watched movies and ate popcorn, then Saturday morning we spent the day doing all our chores, They got the house cleaned, the laundry done and had time to play and go to the library.

We hope all is well with you. Best to each of you until next week.
