Tomorrow is the last day of March. It went by sooo fast, to me. I hope that this next month will bring much success to all of you and happiness too. I hope and pray that we can all remember the things that are most important. For me, it is the family that I love and adore and the gospel of Jesus Christ. After all that is why we are here. we can return back to him if we just put the true and right things first, no matter what. Our children can see what goes on all around them, everyday, isn’t is nice to know that you can have a lot to do with how they will think and even if they make wrong choices in their lives from time to time, that they can come back to us and be happy in the gospel. If the world ends next year, will we be prepared,spiritually.? Are we doing everything that will assure that. Just going to church isn’t enough, we need to be studying and getting to know our Father in Heaven and His teachings, or it won’t make complete sense and you won’t have he desire to always be trying. I want us all to be together, don’t you?? Love you all so much. Mom xoxoxoxo

Well today was Grandpa Nielsen’s Birthday. Grandma was remembering it and I could tell she was a bit quiet. As I was rolling her hair this morning, she was talking to me about it. I told her that I remembered, but that dad would want her to be happy, and she came out of it a bit more. Sometimes it is hard for us to realize how hard that is on her, not having him here with her anymore, but at least she can know with all she knows that she will see him again! I miss him too . Most of you that remember him and how he was, knows that he loved you all very much and that he was a great and honest man who loved the Gospel and had every faith that we would all be together forever. I pray for that everyday. just thought you guys would like to know that.

Thanks to all of you for a great Easter lunch and egg hunt. It was a fun day and we are so glad that you all had fun. The kids did, I know ,they got a ton of eggs. It is always great to have all of you together. Hope you all enjoyed it as much as we did. Just think, in five or six years, we will be lucky to be able to get all of the grandkids together for everything. They will want to be with their friends sometimes and a couple of them will be driving, so it is great to do it now while they are still so willing. I pray that we will stay a close family, because that is all that really matters in life and that is what is so important. Yes, for both sides of your family!!! These are the things that the grandkids will have to hold on to . Their memories may be the one thing that keeps them safe and holding on to family ties. We love you all so much and we hope you are feeling the same way. Keep on keepin on!!!! love to you all - mom xoxoxoxo Ps I know that it was different to have it on Saturday this year. You will haveto let us know what you think about it. OK?

Well dad and I had a great time in Memphis. We helped Uncle Lacy and Aunt Paula rip wall paper off their dining room and kitchen walls. we then washed walls and repaired them and sanded and cleaned and finally painted them. and their trim. They now look great. We also refaced their kitchen cabinets and got new knobs and painted them also. It all looks great and they were very happy with them and so thankful that we were able to be there to help and guide them in the efforts, because they aren’t used to doing it. Anyway we are glad to be back, we hope that everything went well here with all of you. You were in our prayers the whole time we were gone. Hope to see you all on Saturday at noon for Easter lunch and an egg hunt for the kids. We will finish by 2:00 so you can do whatever you need to do that night. Love you , see you all then. Mom

hello- Hey we are going to do an Easter egg hunt on Saturday , the day before Easter this year , instead of On Easter Sunday. We want to have everyone who can come , to be here at Noon. We will have a fun lunch and then have our egg hunt. I want to know if every family can bring one dozen filled eggs. You can fill them with what ever you want. It can be candy, or toys..We will more than likely be done around 2;00. We figure a couple hours is good for that. That way if we have plans that night we can still keep our plans. Sound good.??? We are going to have Different kinds of sandwiches, chips and dips, condiments, cupcakes and brownies and something to drink. Don’t forget your cameras so you can get their pictures. Let me know what you think and if you can make it. oK? I need to get head count for food. Amy and Delon, we know this is a long way to come, so if you can’t make it , I will bring your Easter stuff up when I come to get grandma and I will also have your Anniversary gift to give you at the same time. Wow- Another Anniversary already huh?

HEY- Today is a new month again, already. Hope everyone is still thinking about the Hillesheim Reunion is Gilroy. You can think about the idea of when we leave that Sunday , whether you want to head home or whether you want to take another day and go to Brentwood just for old time sake. We could spend the day there and visit some people. Maybe we can get a time that day to get some people together with Robin and who ever. that would be really fun. Maybe we could go to the park there and get a picnic together,and take pictures… Tell me what you think. I need feed back. let us know. love Mom
