This is Sean Kelly and his girlfriend Alena. This was one of Sterling's great mission companions

This is Devin and his wife Melissa. It was so much fun to see them again and to see missy's baby bump. Congrats!

Sterling's mission president talked about Detroit a little bit. He told us some interesting facts. In the 1950's Detroit's population was 2.5 million and today it is at 900,000. When Sterling was on his mission the members of the church didn't have any ward buildings, they had just been renting different places to hold church in. Today they have 2 brand new ward buildings. Detroit is continueing to grow as far as the church goes. These missionaries have made such an impact and I am so proud of all of them. I believe that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is what is going to help that city.
Sterling made his spicy mexican soup and won "hottest chilli award" I made a rocky road pie and won "chocolateliest chocolate award". Sterling is trying to make a "this chili is spicy" face and I am trying to make a "mmm this is good chocolate face" hehe
For St. Patties day sterling made a shepherds pie. It was wonderful and he just made it up. Man I want to learn how to just make things up like he does.
It was also Sterling's mom's birthday in March. We went out to the cheescake factory and then the next day we went out again to celebrate her birthday and our brother in laws birthday. Unfortunately we didn't take any pictures so here is an older picture of Sterling's parents. I like them a lot and appreciate all they do for us. Susan is such a great mom with all of the kids.
Again I have to add another flower picture. These are the flowers I arranged for Susan's birthday gift.
As for everything else, we've been keeping busy. Sterling has been doing a bunch of maintenance on our cars such as changing oil, changing our fuel filters etc. Sterling was doing some things on my car and found this:
The exhaust manifold cracked on my car. I think I've been driving with it cracked for a long time. We decided that we are just going to leave it because it doesn't cause any problems for the car. LUCKY. phewph
This is my first baby papoose. It is soooo soft! Now that I have learned how to do it I am going to make more out of cuter colors.
So that's a summary of what we've been doing lately. It's been nice to relax a little bit this weekend. Hope you all had a great weekend.
This is the bouquet that I made for Kiah. I made my brother's boutaniere too.
My mom also turned 51 on the 6th. Doesn't she look young?
