Feliz Cumpleanos

 Sunday May 1st!

I wasn't sure I would get to see or hear from Luke on his 19th birthday.  But I was wrong!  He was able to call me and send me pics.  His pensinista (sp?)  made him a cake, they sang to him and made his day special.

His first few days in Bolivia were great!  He is doing great and is so happy.  I sent him a birthday card back in April and it finally arrived in July!  I was able to send him a cameo of John Heder wishing him a happy birthday.  It was awesome!  He was able to see that before he left and he loved it!

HBD Lukey Dukes!  We Love You!

And there he goes...

Look at this Itinerary!  It is crazy!  Elder Wilson has got himself some long travel days.  This mama prayed and prayed he would do ok.  And get there safely!

He was able to see Sister Wilson the night before he left...

And the day before, he was messaging me all stressed out that he didn't have enough room in his luggage for all of his stuff!  He never let me see the emails that detailed what exactly he needed, so I just did my best based on the information I had.  I thought we did so good with only 2 suitcases!  Then the most amazing thing happened, he told me that it wasn't my fault!  That is was on him.  That he should have been more and better prepared.  Whoa.  I was blown away.  I cried.  My boy was learning and maturing already.  And then he sent me this in the middle of the night as he was about to leave the MTC.  He did it!  Good luck my wonderful son!

I anxiously waited and checked my phone non-stop over the next 24-48 hours.  Then, the message came.  They made it safely.  And he was happy and ready.

Time to go to work!

 

Sea World with the littles

 Brody had a random Wednesday off of school.  Hailee ahs an annual pass and Kenzee is free, so we headed to Sea World!

We had the best day!  Brody was so cute with the girls...

And Hailee fell in love with this turtle!

She did not want to leave him!

We all had a great day and the girls got some cute souvenirs!  Wally the Walrus and Polie the Polar Bear!

Easter

 Easter was way different this year!

But it was also awesome!

These girls started off my day right with a pics of the ears I sent them.  (Luke got the same thing, but said there was no way he was taking a pic with bunny ears on.  Ha!)

These 2 had the best time "Hunting Wabbits" while looking for their baskets.  And the Easter Bunny hid them good this year!

Church was nice...

Just the 3 of us.  Gavin and Kristin spent the day with the Kolar family.

Family Pic-

And then the Wilson family came over for dinner and a little Easter fun!

And my parents came too!

The best part came at the end of the day.  A pic from these 2.  They ran into each other after their Easter Devotional  So, it was a different day, but a blessed one for sure.
