Friday I took Dalton and Nicole with me to Mom and Dad's. Lisa had her first ob appointment, she is pregnant.
When we got there, Mom's visiting teachers were there. I was introduced and sat and visited with them for a couple of minutes, then started cleaning the kitchen so that they could visit. They left after about 30 minutes. After which Mom told me that one of her visiting teachers is President Monson's cousin. Unforturnately, I can't remember her name.
I wasn't able to clean the bathrooms as usual because of Nicole. She really is too young to take out there with me unless it is an unusual circumstance. The exciting news from the doctor appointment is that, Lisa is having twins! WooHoo!
I called Mom on Saturday and let her know that we wouldn't be going out on Sunday evening. Jeff's Mom and stepdad were in town from Washington and came by our house Sunday night. That means that we haven't played hand and foot for a month. I am going through withdrawal!

Mother's Day Weekend
Hi y'all!
Dalton went with me to Draper on Friday last week. We had a good time, cleaning and visiting. The most surprising thing was that I think Spring has finally came to Salt Lake Valley. Which, leads to the account that Nancy posted on facebook that she had talked to Mom. Mom told her that Dad had fallen when he was trying to trim the rose bushes. He fell and then couldn't get up without scooting and a lot of effort. I was concerned because I didn't know why Dad could not get up.
When I was there on Sunday (Mother's Day) Mom explained that he had fallen in a place where there was nothing to grab hold of (except rose bushes) that he could pull himself up with. He had to scoot over closer to the porch so he could get hold of the rail to help himself up. I could see how that could happen, so I am not as concerned now.
On Mother's Day I was able to get most of my family to go out and visit for the holiday. Jeff, Michael, Deborah, Bill, Morgan, Lisa, Christian, Dalton and Nicole all went to Draper with me. We had a very nice time just sitting and visiting for a while. Mom seemed very happy and Dad recorded the event in his journal!
Loves to all of you,
Karrie

Life is good!
Jane and I went to Draper on Saturday this week, since I went to Women's Conference at BYU on Thursday and Friday. About the only noticeable difference was that traffic was not as bad because the construction workers had the day off!
Their neighbor, Jeannie, stopped by to say hi while I was there. We talked for a little while outside just before I left. I thanked her for taking in breakfast (she does that three days a week). She also mentioned that Dad has called her a couple of times when Mom had fallen and he couldn't get her up. I don't think that has happened for quite a while.
Today I went out by myself just for a visit. We did have a nice visit. Aunt Nola, Grandpa's youngest sister, passed away on Saturday night. Mom is still going to the pain doctor two times a week. I asked her how it was going, she said that she thinks it is helping, she is only taking about half the amount of pain medication as she used to. I have noticed that they have been out and about a lot more than usual lately - Jeannie said that they have even gone to church. That is very cool! I know that last week they went to a funeral on Friday, the Easter Egg Hunt and Barbecue on Saturday, and to my house for dinner on Sunday. That would not have happened a few months ago.
All in all, it has been a very nice weekend!

Easter Egg Hunt and Barbecue
Today was the annual Baker family Easter Egg Hunt and Barbecue. I got there with Jeff and Michael at about 11:45, Mom and Dad showed up about 20 minutes later. They ate lunch and hung around until after the hunt. Mom looked very cute in her white jacket with a hood. I think they had fun!
Mom said that they will let me know tomorrow if they are coming to Easter Dinner with the family or not.

Easter Weekend
Hi Y'all,
I went down to Mom and Dad's this morning, as usual. Jane went with me. Mom and Dad were all dressed up and left at about 11:00 to go to Aunt Verla's funeral. Aunt Verla is Grandma Baker's younger sister. So, she is my great aunt, and Jane's great-great-great aunt.
Jane and I stayed behind and cleaned up the house. It gave me a chance to clean out their refrigerator. It actually was in pretty good shape. I only threw out some vegies from the bottom drawer that were in pretty sad shape and wiped everything down. I was also able to vacuum around their chairs while they were gone.
They are planning on coming to the Easter Egg Hunt and Barbecue tomorrow at the park. I have also invited them to dinner at my house on Sunday evening. I think they are planning on coming because Mom asked what she needed to bring. I hope that they can make it!
I hope you all have a fun weekend! Remember years ago when we used to go camping up Butterfield Canyon on Easter weekend? That was a long time ago....

It is April, and it is still snowing....
Hi Everyone,
Sorry about not posting last week. It was a nice visit on Friday, Dalton went with me. He was a little nervous and mostly stayed by me, but I think he will get used to going if he goes more often. He and Jane are going to take turns from now one. Dalton, however, did get to come two weeks in a row, Jane is in Moab with her family today. Here is a picture of Dalton. He is sitting in Mom's old Jazzy playing music for us!

WooHoo! I figured out how to post the picture! Today, Mom seemed a little more tired and not all that excited to see us. But she was awake and ate lunch that I fixed and talked with Dalton a bit. She was a little short with Dad. I think she might have been hurting.
Last Sunday Bill and Morgan went down with me to play cards. Mom sat out of the game, Bill and Dad won. I was not happy to lose. I really like to win, at everything, go figure.
I washed the inside of the front window. I think that some residue was on there from when Dad built a fire in wood stove. It was much better when I was done. When the weather clears up I will try to clean the outside and get the screens put back in.
