• Grey was baptized April 8th. What a wonderful week to be baptized, the week after General Conference and the week before Easter.
• Jake wants to know if we live in an igloo so we have included a picture of our house. How do you like it?
• Jake is doing great, he skipped two reading levels. Congratulations Jake!
• Jordan is taking drawing lessons and we especially loved his picture of a blue town named Blueville.
• Caitlyn is enjoying her first year in Young Women's and she got straight A's last term. Congratulations Caitlyn!
• Caroline got her braces off a few weeks ago and says it feels weird. She saw Ice Age 2 and I am not sure but I think she liked it. Did anyone else see it? You know that was the theme for Ice Alaska so Grandpa and I got to see it free for helping at the Ice Park. Congratulations Caroline for winning the spelling bee!!
• Jaiden loved the ice pictures of the Mermaid and the Violin player the best. She says she waves and says hi to all the missionaries she sees because she wants people to be nice to grandpa and grandma and cousin's Jeff and David. Thank you, Jaiden.
• Dylan is amazed that he has Eskimo cousins and yes Dylan we are coming home if only long enough to have an Eskimo Frog Camp. We saw his daddy, Uncle Bill on television talking about his art work.
• Naomi just finished a family history project at school as did Austin. You two have just done what Grandpa and Grandma do every day. Naomi also did a Japanese history unit and is starting a Chinese History unit - doesn't that sound fun! She is also redecorating her room.
• Ivan likes recess and lunch the best. Did you find out what your dad put in your Orange Juice? He got third place and barely won a pinewood derby race.
• Gavin and Keaton, how do you like your new little lamb?
• Did I tell you we found a Hunter's school and Frog Pond Circle,
• Kate, Love, and Grey moved into their new house and are happy to be in a home again.
• Reagan was in a road show, "On the road to Africa." She was an old lady trying to catch a rare yellow belly butterflies. That sounds so fun. They must have done a good job because they got second place and the best scenery, which Aunt Dani painted. Way to go!
• Collin played one of the missionaries in the play and impressed all the girls.
• Ice carvings: lady taught me how to carve ice and I am excited to teach each of you when we get home. Maybe we should care ice as well as pumpkins on Grandpa's birthday because I think frog camp it will be way too warm to carve ice.
• We loved all the pictures we got of Easter eggs, flowers, a snowflakes, and especially the frog pictures and cutouts. Grandpa and I spoke in the Denali branch this morning and we talked about Family History and some of the things we do with our grandkids. The Bishop's counselor said at the end of our talks that he hoped he could come to Frog Camp this year.
  

Did your parents all read to you the story about the boy who accidentally hung himself? If not, please have them read it to you because it is a very important story with a lesson. Please be carefully that you always do what is right and don't try dumb things. In Primary you learn to do what Jesus would want you to do and I hope you always will.

I thought I would include a recipe this month. We had a zone activity last week with all the missionaries in our zone. We watched the movie, "The Work and the Glory" and had a pop corn tasting bar. We had a lot of toppings for the pop corn and they were to taste every one. The following recipe was the winner. They kept coming back for more. I will give you the full recipe but we just had the popped corn in a big bowl, the broken chips in another bowl, the melted butter in a bowl and the taco seasoning mix in a bowl and they could put in as much as they wanted. Grated cheese is optional (Grandma loves it with cheese)

Taco Scramble
8 cups popcorn
4 c corn tortilla chips slightly broken
6 Tbs. Butter
1.25 oz taco seasoning mix

In a large bowl, (or your individual bowls) mix popped corn, tortilla chips. Melt butter and stir in package of seasoning mix. Pour over popped corn chips. Gently stir until well coated. Cool slightly before eating.
Another favorite was to pour butter, sugar, lemon rind and lemon (or Lime) juice over. I was surprised but the elders loved this one as well.
We love you all so very much, Grandma

Hey, this is Grandpa Frogger, how are all of you ??? Grandma left her
