With All My Love

Dear Elder Schenewark,

How are you? Your spider bite? Your stories continue to amaze and entertain us. Kevin is fast becoming a kindred spirit. Be careful! No more adventures!

Your father had an adventure this week. He had to do an overnight camp out with stake scout leaders, and he had only a few minutes to grab his belongings and go back out the door. Sawyer was grabbing the cot and tent, Miller was helping with the pocket knife and compass. Unfortunately, Cooper wasn’t home, or he might have helped with the sleeping bag. He went out the door without one, and ended up coming back to get one.  Other than that, he was prepared. I have yet to hear how it went. He walked in the door from camping, and after a quick shower, walked back out to take Cooper to a stake dance.

I spent a good portion at the ballfield with three games. Sawyer had a 3 and 5, and Miller a 7. Having a 7:00 p.m. game doesn’t have to be painful, except that the whole day’s behind schedule culminates in the game starting late! We got home at 10:15, and the game time is less than two hours.

Sawyer played a short stop that made three double plays, and made the hit that broke the tie, and won the game. He had an in the park home run, and a couple of other doubles. His pitching was on as well, even in the 40 mph spring gusts. Miller played well also. Because it was so chilly, Breyer, Sawyer and I were hiding out in the car, so my attention to details was not as detailed.
Hunter is coming home in two weeks. We’re so excited to have him for the summer! He loves his life, had a wonderful date, continues to get requests to travel to conferences, including over the summer, “It’s A Wonderful Life” is his new mantra.

Cooper is still playing tennis, getting ready for this week’s regional competition. He also took his first ever college test. Somehow he missed the PSAT, but he took the ACT yesterday morning. His Eagle Scout Board of Review is the same day as the second day of regional competition. Hopefully later, and with no conflicts.

Breyer was chosen by her teacher as this six week session as the Shining Star. She was so excited. She thought since the school year was almost open she wasn't going to get chosen.


Aunt Becky spent the week in Utah visiting her three children. I know she was with your brothers, AnneMarie and Nora last night but haven’t heard the details. Kaleb didn’t make the Snow College basketball team, although he made it until the last cut. He drove to Colorado, and made the team for the Colorado Northwestern Community College basketball team. Go Spartans!



And because we love you, my favorite Nora picture of the week.

Be good. Extra good.

Love,

Mom
