Elaine & Dean

On Super Tuesday we attended the Idaho Caucasus. Maybe you saw on the news that Idaho had the largest Caucasus held to that date. There were over 9,000 people at the Taco Bell Arena and over 5,000 at the Idaho Center in Nampa. It took a while for both places to count all of the votes, but we finally put Mitt at 51.8% of the vote and were able to go home. We were at the Taco Bell arena from 5 - 9:30, so it was nice we didn't have to stay longer.

The highlight of the month was when all of the kids were home to give me a surprise birthday party in the YW's room at the church on Saturday the 10th. I had no idea they were planning something like that. They did such a cute job with the menu, decorations and the book they presented me with their memories included in it. There were a total of thirty one there that night; our little family of eight has really grown.
Thanks so all of you for your birthday cards, letters, and calls. I just can't believe I turned sixty years old this year. I don't think I can keep telling everyone I am only thirty nine and holding for much longer, as Matt will turn thirty eight in July. Wow, that doesn't seem possible.

We had so much fun seeing everyone at the Bountiful Temple for Patrick and Cynthia's wedding and luncheon. They make a really cute couple and we are so happy for both of them. We appreciated the invitation, and both events were so well planned and fun to attend.

Dean is going to attend a performance bull sale with Matt in Prosser, WA on Tuesday the 27th and Wednesday the 28th, so I thought it would be a good time to go visit with Amy. I am looking forward to that.
Hope everyone enjoys the spring season, I know I am more than ready for it to be warm. We are also looking forward to General Conference.
