Update on the haps

Sweet and mischievous

Jeremy took the Cub Scouts to the Horizon hangar and they got to sit in the cockpit. We took our boys so they could check it out, too

It's official. I am the worst blogger and I'm totally okay with that. I only upload pictures when I have to and blog post without pictures are boring. Consequently no upload, no post.

Since my last post life has been crazy. We start with the announcement, at the beginning of December, that Jeremy was going to be furloughed (laid-off until further notice). That made for an awesome Christmas. My family was amazing to us, as always, and made sure that we still had a great Christmas. The miracle came just 2 days before Jeremy's last day when the Chief Pilot called Jeremy and said that he would not be furloughed due to senior pilots that took a voluntary furlough. We were sad for his friends that still lost their jobs, but shocked and humbled by the blessing we received. Jeremy is now, literally, the bottom pilot with his airline.

The new year came and with that, I started a new job. I watch 2 kids a couple days a week and it's worked out pretty well.

Max started Primary. He's very reverent and loves being in there with Ben and Mommy. He said (I mean whispered) his first prayer in Primary.

My birthday came and I am now into my 30's. That was worse than turning 30. The big "1" after the 3 is yucky.

For Spring Break we went to my brothers in Northern CA. The boys had a great time with their cousins. I had my wisdom teeth pulled. My sister-in-law was the best and watched my boys while I was loony coming out of anesthesia. A quick funny story: when I went to send Jeremy a picture of my minimal swelling, there were a bunch of pictures on my phone that had been taken of me at the Doc's office. I must have asked them to, but I had no recollection of it. Good times.

Jeremy has a new calling as the Scout Master.

Ben is doing great in school and recently started baseball again. Ben had a lesson in Primary and decided to apply it to his life. This is what happened:
He went to school and had the following conversation with his first grade teacher.
Ben: Mr. P. do you believe in Heavenly Father?
Teacher: Yes
Ben: Do you believe in Jesus?
Teacher: Yes
Ben: Have you heard of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints?
Teacher: Yes
Ben: Have you heard of the Mormons?
Teacher: Yes
Ben: Write your phone number on this piece of paper and I will send two special people to you.
Teacher: I can't give you my phone number.
Ben: It's not for me. It's for the two special people.

The teacher didn't give his phone number and Ben came home very upset. That night he was in tears because he wanted his teacher to know everything that he knows about Heavenly Father and Jesus. We talked for awhile and then Ben told me that his teachers birthday was that Friday. He wanted to go to the church bookstore and get him a Book of Mormon. I suggested we give it as an end of the year gift instead.

All in all, we are doing great. We feel blessed, busy, happy, and healthy. Can't ask for more.
