Mike Got Mail

Mike & TEC got indy mogul shirts today in the mail. He was pretty excited about it. He also got a note from Erik Beck, so that was pretty nice. Mike also just finished a 4th of July build with TEC. I had him put the video below. That is all.

Robot Road Trip

Mike just got back from a little road trip with his robot friend. Here is a short video of their adventure.

Mike has been pretty busy with this new web site over the past couple of days. We don't yet know if he'll get the job with Indy Mogul, but he's decided that he'll start his own network of shows if he doesn't.

Good luck Mike!

Easter!

Happy Easter! We had a great, long day here. Early this morning, the kids woke up to their Easter baskets! Preston got this toy dog that he cried over at the store. He was so sad I wouldn't buy it for him. He was pretty happy with the Easter bunny. Jorja got frog cups and a 'busy bee' shirt. She liked the shirt because she is in the bee class at school. Stockton LOVED his Pi shirt. Maysen got a lot of Young Women trinkets. Mike and I got a new scale in our basket. Ours broke awhile ago, and it has been driving me crazy.

Maysen also made an Easter egg hunt for the kids which they really enjoyed.

Mike and I made homemade bread this morning. When Mike went back to work, he asked me if there was something I wished I had. I told him that I wished my mixer was fixed. My mixer broke right before he lost his job. So, Mike got me a nice mixer and I LOVE it! We made four loaves of homemade bread today. This is one of the only healthy things that all my kids will eat. I couldn't make it by myself before because my wrists are way too weak to knead the bread. (I have tendinitis in them and it drives me crazy.) Anyway, it was so easy to make and is so yummy.

While the bread was rising, I helped Mike shoot another video. I have no idea what I'm doing when I'm controlling TEC, but I just move buttons and then Mike makes it look right. TEC now has his own facebook page and has almost 100 more friends than me. Oh boy. When he has more than Cassie, well that will be something.

We were also able to watch the final two sessions of conference. Whoever said the opening prayer was awesome! Maysen and I both got bingos before he finished! I love Conference, especially when it is on Easter. I love hearing the prophet and apostles testify of Christ.

On a side note....our old Stake President got called to the second quorum of the seventy yesterday. Also, a friend from highschool's dad spoke at the priesthood session. He talked about how missionaries receive their callings.

Preston did his first Family Home Evening today. His primary teacher sent him home with a recipe for 'Resurrection Rolls'. Preston did a cute job and loved being in charge....then he got bored. Preston also wanted to race to the bathroom. When we got there he said, "I win! Don't worry, I still love you." I said, "Would you still love me if I won?" He said, "Not very much." Nice to know where I stand.

Sorry for the long post. Now to the pictures.....

Jet Packs and Robots

This morning, Preston and I spent a lot of time outside catching snowflakes. He loved it! Yes, we do live in the South. Yes it is spring. Yes it was snowing. Crazy!

The most exciting news of the day was Mike's build was featured on indymogul. He was so excited! The kids and I were all screaming when we saw that his was posted! Mike worked so hard on his build. Well . . . I'm not so sure you can call it working, he loved every minute of it.

Mike & TEC

You can see his audition video here. We have no idea if he would be lucky enough to get this job, what the job entails, or how much it would pay. We are just thrilled that out of the sixty or so people that sent in videos, his was one of the few to be shown. (They have only shown five so far). Anyway, it was a happy, happy day at our house.
