Climbing Mt. Whitney in the Snow!!

This last weekend, Jeff and his friends used every bit of energy to scale Mt. Whitney. (the highest peak in N. America - 14,505 ft. 22 miles round trip) They hadn't counted on there being so much snow. They woke up at 3AM and hiked for a total of 15 hours!! Jeff said that this was the hardest thing he has ever done physically. (and he's run two marathons!)



Although he was exhausted, and came home with 2 blisters, a gash in his leg from the crampons they wore, and a sunburn under his nose from the reflected sun, Jeff said that he really had a good day and learned a few things about himself up there... but, he said "I don't ever plan on doing that again!"

Easter Sunday

Easter was really busy because of Youth Conference. We were so tired! Saturday night was the big dance. So we stayed out late dancing like we were teenagers still. It was a lot of fun. So on Sunday we had church and I had Sharing Time. Then we did not even go home after church. We went out to Newport Beach for a baptism. Then rushed back home for the Testimony Meeting. It was a really long day! We didn't even get to eat anywhere in there. So on Tuesday we had an after Easter dinner with the Harrington's. What a day. Somewhere in there though we did have the spirit of Easter. The knowledge that it is not about candy and a bunny, it is about Christ and that we can be together forever because of it.

Youth Conference 09

We love the youth in the church! This was our 5th time being parents for Youth Conference and each year has been different and we have loved every year! This year we had ten girls in our Decker Fam. We loved all these girls and had so much fun!

March and April

We have been so busy this last couple months! We have been camping, lots of family time, youth conference, and Easter..... and everything that comes with having two kids. Here is some fun pictures!

Sadie Turned One

Happy Birthday to our sweet little Sadie. I can not believe she is one. We had a little party for her. Her two aunts were here, Julie and Diane. So we had a dance party with the wiggles. We projected the movie so that the Wiggles were life size and danced around and opened persents and had cake. It was a fun day for her.



She is the sweetest little thing. She put up with so much from Evan. She is one tough cookie. She is so pretty but she is going to be a tom boy playing with her brother. I love her so much. She is so happy. Jeff said the other day that the way she looks and acts sometimes makes him think that she really dose love being here on earth and with our family. I am so glad that we have Sadie in our family. Can not imagen our family without her sweet smile.
