Greg's been working on this deck for over six weeks now and the last week or more he's been working while sick with a horrible cough but the main part is finally done now and all that's left are stairs and the facsia boards to finish it all off.

| He could finally see the finish line! |
 |
| And DONE!! |
 |
| With the fascia board it will look a little bit nicer but it's pretty great already. |
The rest of our week has been pretty busy. Baseball season has begun and both Mark and Carter have games twice a week. Carter's first game was on the same day as our wards pinewood derby so Carter had to bail out the last half of his game. He placed third in the pinewood derby and Greg was happy with that. Greg was not happy though when a fellow dad dropped his car rather roughly on the table but he kept his 'rage' mostly to himself. I was at Mark's game and missed the whole derby and therefore have no photos and Greg only took video. I'll have to remember to at least take a photo of Carter with his car for posterities sake. I could give you a nice long story about the whole car making experience but I'll just say that Greg insisted on using spray paint and McClane is now a pro at using a spray can and we're still finding white paint EVERYWHERE! Thank goodness I was gone with our black car or we might really have some graffiti problems on our hands. Thankfully we had access to graffiti cleaner for the many decking boards that were painted. (7 kids = nothing stays nice!)
Thursday was also crazy with two baseball games and Isaac was performing in the very cool and patriotic program, "Hope of America". Greg's parents helped us out by taking care of the baseball games while Kayli stayed home with the littlest Kmetzsch's and Greg and I took Isaac to the Marriot center in Provo for his program, which was fantastic and Isaac's green cast was a huge help in picking him out of the group of 3200+ kids making up the American flag!

| Just arriving and getting to his spot. |
 |
| Who knows what he was gaping at. |
 |
| Calming down! |
 |
| Isaac is part of the yellow border on the left hand side next to the fourth row of white shirts. |
 |
| Horrible quality photo but half way through the program Isaac changed into a Giants baseball player and did a little dance on the floor with several other boys and girls. Isaac is behind the boy in the blue hat. |
 |
| That's MY BOY!! |
 |
| Isaac's sitting fourth boy in from the left. |
This program is just so awesome and I'm so grateful for the major work and effort that it takes to put together because it's worth it for the patriotism it instills in the kids.
And no post would be complete without a photo of our cute Charlie!
 |
| Today she road in the cart like a big girl. She wasn't quite ready but she did alright ;-) |
And P.S. Thanks for the fun Easter package Mom, the kids can't wait to enjoy their ice cream party!
 |
| Brock thought we had to go to Grandma Baker's to enjoy our ice cream party and was disappointed when we told him it would have to be here and without Grandma and Grandpa Baker in attendance. |
 |
| She thinks these bowls are pretty neat. |
 |
| What is she thinking?! |
Now Happy Easter and goodnight!
 |
| I dare you to try to fold over like this ;-) |

Awsome Deck. Can't wait to see it in person. That's cool that each of your kids (so far) have been a part of the Hope of America. It's a nightmare to drive there and then get out of the parking lot etc. but it's worth it in the end. Hugs and kisses for all and Happy Easter.
The deck looks amazing!! Nice work Greg. I remember going to "Hope of America" and it was pretty neat. Have a Happy Easter!
