March was Niyah's birthday. She turned 6 and had a great party with a Kitty theme. All the girls were able to "adopt" a stuffed kitten to take home. To bad we don't have any pictures to show from it as our computer crashed!
April we were able to go on our visit back to the states to visit family! It was a great visit and we were so thankful for all the people who put up with us. We had a great time. We were so busy that we really didn't even take that many pictures. Some of the things we did:
Ate out way to much
enjoyed Eater with all the family
Jeb built a deck
went shooting Jebs new gun
Visited our dearest friends the Jensens (love you guys so much!)
attended a cousins baptism, two baby blessings
spoke at my parents branch
attended conference
shopped
shopped
and shopped some more
and just hung out and had fun!!!
Here are some picture recaps
The girls on the way out to girls day to celebrate Harley turning 8 soon. We shopped, ate at spaghetti factory, had Harley pick out her special turning 8 dress, and Harley got her ears pierced!
Having fun!
Easter!
shooting the new gun, Jebs only real purpose for the trip. :)
Eating Smores with Grapa
Then we came BACK home to Japan mid April. A light layover in in Seattle let us see Grandpa Tom and made us wish strongly for a farm.

Since then we have just been BACK here doing our normal routine. We got back into our school lessons and the poor girls have been doing extra to make up for all the time off. The girls had a ballet recital and both did great
That pretty much brings us up to date on activities. We are all well and happy. The girls are amazing and smart. We hope to have Harley done with 3rd grade by the end of the summer and Niyah done with 1st. Genevieve is hitting her two's a bit early and is constantly shouting NO NO NO at anyone who crosses her.
Look for more posts as I am realizing it is to soon that we truly go "back" to the states as we are on our count down here. I want to post everything I love about Japan, so watch for those!
