Missed March Madness so we are going for April!

It may be 12:25 am but I am going to blog anyway. Life has been pretty tough lately. Having the large family that we do, sickness is usually 3 or 4x as bad as with smaller families. The throwing up is almost more than I can stand at times. I am so grateful for older children that even pitch in with emptying bowls, staying up all hours with other little kids when mom and dad are exhausted. I have some cooking, others bathing children, and everyone helping out with chores. I don't know what I would do with out my wonderful children. We are now on our 3 round of the flu. Mylee has a very high fever and is still throwing up on day 3. She got a blessing today so all will be well very soon. It's very hard to watch a tiny one be so sick. I sure love that Heavenly Father sends blessing to us in our time of need.
We had sad new in the family. Kristine, Michael's wife's mother died a few day ago. Her and Michael flew out to Oregon for the family and should be back Sunday or Monday. I went out to their house to check on the kids and they were doing wonderful. The house was clean the kids were fed and we got to just kick back, eat rice crispy treats and watch "Twilight". I really like Sci-fi movies and this one was really fun to pick apart. Conference was so good! I loved every bit of it! It was a really good pick-me-up for these last days that seem so full of hardship and tribulations. Life is good. Hope all is well with everyone. We would love to hear from all of you.
