Friday was Katie's last day at work. This means we only have two countdowns going on now. One for my semester to end (which is at 10 weekdays) and then one to when we get to move back to Springville (at 32 days total). We packed all day today. We got all of the living room done(books, DVD's, Pictures, etc) and all of the Kitchen stuff we don't use on a regular basis.
We got some pictures from our friends of Braydon and their little girl, Oliva. They went to the park in March and I've added a new album, so take a look.
Other then that, we're doing fine and nothing to exciting happening here.

Braydon's 4th Birthday!!!
Yes, I can't believe it! Braydon turned 4 years old today. We had a little party yesterday because he wanted go watch Ice Age: The Meltdown. It was pretty good, the second movie is never really as good as the first (most of the time). We went to that around 1 o'clock and then went to Burger King (Braydon's choice) so he could get a Ice Age toy. He wasn't to happy with the selection because he ended up taking the girl elephant, Elle that comes with a comb to do her hair and a clip to put into your own hair. He got over it pretty fast and loves playing with it.
We then had a little party at our house where he got his birthday presents. He got a Mr. Potato Head Guess Who game, an outfit from Nanny & Papa, play-dough, and a Luke Skywalker Transformer. We got some good pictures of him opening up his transformer and he was so excited. Earlier that week, Katie ordered a Star Wars Yoda cake. He got to have a little figure of Yoda on it that his lightsaber lites up. He was happy for the toy and Katie and I were happy for the cake!!!
This is Katie's last week of work so she is so excited she can't stand it. She is even looking forward to packing (I'm glad she is). I only have 2 weeks then finals left in this semester and then only 3 more weeks until all of my summer classes will be done. Now that's exciting!!!
Braydon wants all of you to look at his Birthday pictures in our photo album!!!!

Well, We Still Have Home Internet
We called AOL and told them we wanted to cancel our service. They said that our pay period was on April 8th but our year commitment wasn't over until the 11th. So we already paid until May 8th and then we have one month free until June but we will for sure cancel by the end of May. This means we will be able to put pictures on our website, which is a good thing.
This weekend was very eventful. Saturday morning we went to go and wash the car, which is not that exciting. Well NOT this time. Braydon was in our Xterra while Katie and I were washing the car. Braydon must have been playing/pushing with some buttons and our alarm went off. The trouble is, we didn't get a keyless remote when we bought the car. So we are in the car wash stall, horn honking, echoing and Braydon's in the car. Katie jumped in the car with Braydon and I ran to see if the car wash worker had a phone book (luckily, we have a cell phone). She called the local Nissan dealership and they talked her through a reset procedure and it worked but they recommended that we come get a keyless remote (of course) because next time the reset might not work. So we went and bought 2 keyless remotes, owners manual, and floormats. We needed all these things but spent way to much money of them.
Easter was great. Braydon has been excited for about the last two weeks. We colored some eggs Saturday afternoon and then he got to open his gifts from his Nanny and Papa and also from Grandma Nettie and Grandpa Jim. The Easter bunny came and gave him (all of us) too much candy. Then after church, some of our friends and us went to a park, had a picnic and flew some kites (since the wind always blows here).
We have four new photo albums so take a look at them.

Sorry, NO more pictures!!!
As of tomorrow (4/8) we will not have the internet at our home. Our contract with AOL expires and we don't want to pay for it anymore while we are here. We will just use the internet at our parents house as soon as we move back to Utah. This means we will not have access to download our pictures to the web. I will still be able to give all of you updates, but it will be at school during my class breaks. (Disclaimer: This may not be every week, but you never know, so keep checking our website to see!!!)
Last weekend we had the chance to watch General Conference. It was fun to be able to watch with Braydon. In his Friend magazine, he had pictures of the First Presidency and 12 Apostles. When each speaker began to speak, he would search for their picture (even if they were not part of the 1st Pres. or Apostles). We have also enjoyed the fact that we have been able to watch Conference for the past two years in the comfort of our own home. This meant that we could lounge around all weekend in our PJ's. (which we did)
The other day, Braydon wanted to make a sleeping hut in his bedroom. So we made it and he slept in it for about 4 nights. One night, we took some pictures and put them in our photo album. These will be the last pictures for a while, so enjoy.

Nothing Going On Here
Not much has been happening here. We are all busy with school and work. Katie is counting down the days until she's done working (which is at 16 days) and I'm counting down the days untill I'm out of school (which is at 30 days). I do have some seminars at the end of May and first of June but they are just pass/fail classes so I don't count them.
March Madness is coming down to the end this weekend. I officially sucked it up this year with NO teams in the Final Four (0-4). In my class, I am in about 8th place but since I have no teams left, I can't get any more points and there are a few behind me that have 1 or 2 teams left. So basically, I will even be farther down then 8th on the final list. Katie did pretty good. She was only 6 points behind me and she doesn't have any teams left either.
We started to plan our last adventure while we are here in Flagstaff. We decided to take Braydon to a Arizona Diamondbacks game for a final weekend in Pheonix in May after my finals. I think it will be fun. Since Katie works for Best Western, she has been gathering up points when we stay at a Best Western Hotel, so out hotel will be free because we will only be staying one night. I'm excited to go because I will get to see the Atlanta Braves. I really don't like the Braves, but they have some good players and some good pitchers so I hope they don't get hurt between now and then.
We went and washed our Xterra today even though it was going to rain today (haven't seen a drop yet!) We took some pictures (I told you I would) and put them in our photo album so take a look. There is even one with Braydon being silly.
