Winter will you please end?  We have had some days of beautiful spring weather and then cold days of random rain, wind, and snow.  We do have daffodils in the front yard…there is hope for Spring.
What is happening in American Fork?  Eigen is happening.  A new baby is fun, everyday they learn new things.  Eigen is 2 months old, he is smiling tons and starting to converse with his own language of coo’s.  He is our first baby to love the swing.  He takes at least one nap in the swing every day.  I love that all of the kids adore Eigen.  Kimball and Bridget enjoy holding him, whereas Calvin prefers to visit with him.  6 kids, with such fun personalities, is a houseful of fun (we never have tears, teasing, or fights!).
Ammon and I celebrated our 12th anniversary March 27.  Love our kids, but must say loved going out to dinner just the two of us.
Kimball spent the last 2 months working on a state report.  He enjoyed learning about Rhode Island.  Getting the report and project board done took a bit of mother love.  What a great day when he took the completed report to school.  Kimball really enjoyed his 5th grade music performance.  They sang, danced, and recited poetry.  He even played the ukulele.  He did a great job.
Calvin surprised us by entering, and winning for 2nd grade, the school storytelling festival.  He memorized a Calvin and Hobbes story and did an excellent job performing to the whole school.  A little comedian.
Logan lost his 2 front bottom teeth.  He even pulled one himself.  He performed in a first grade play “King Bidgood’s in the Bathtub” and had a lot of fun being the duke.
Bridget and Sterling are constantly wanting to play computer!  Oh the drama when mom says it is time to turn it off.  Bridget is a little mother, loves Eigen.  Sterling has adjusted well to having a new baby brother, but does say “get me up” and wants to be held.
There it is, a glimpse into the Diether doings.

Love Kathy
