Kendall's Program

EASTER AT MICHELLE AND MIKE'S

Tanner was sustained during Easter Sacrament meeting with about 35 family members there for encouragement. He is a great young man. His Bishop Dad presented him. After a nice block of meetings he was ordained a Deacon by his Dad with Uncles, Cousins, and Grandpas participating. It was a very tender blessing and a moment we would like to keep in our memories. Mike and Michelle made a wonderful Easter dinner after and everything was full of beautiful flowers and happy faces. The younger kids had a candy hunt and found plenty of candy. We all had a great time together. Thanks Mike and Michelle and family and all who came.

EMILY'S 15TH BIRTHDAY

Jared Receives Webelos Awards

Jared received several Webelos Awards on February 28. Grandpa and Kendall went to be with Jared. He is excited about his Webelos Awards and has almost earned his Arrow of Light. He's looking forward to becoming a Boy Scout in June.

Art Kent presented the awards and Grandpa went up with Jared.

These are the flowers our family sent for Uncle Lloyd's funeral. It was actually prettier than this with big spider chrysanthemums, roses, and carnations so that it was more filled in with big flowers. We loved being with your cousins and Aunt Donna. Everyone was so loving and kind to us and we thought we were there to comfort them. It is nice to be in a big LDS family. We brought home programs from the funeral so you can see how it was.

SAD NOTE! Lloyd Nielsen died on February 10 and his funeral will be Saturday, February 16. We plan to be there and will let you know the details. He was doing his treadmill and just died with his boots on. He was 79 years old and was a great relative to us all and a patriarch to his stake and his family.
