12/28/14 It was a great week here getting to talk to you! That was so cool! And so super fast. I can't believe how fast it seemed. Like you were there, then you were gone! You looked really good! Are you feeling better? Did you need to go to the dr or did you get better on your own? Or are you still sick? It's been a nice week here. Kids are out of school. Aj's home. Dallas just finished out his last week of discount tire. He starts working for Kenworth next week working on the big rigs as a diesel mechanic. Seems kind of scary to me but he is super excited. You'll have to remember him in your prayers to help him do well and learn and do all that he needs to. Aj is starting a new phase in life too. He's all graduated but grad school doesn't start until next fall and he doesn't know where he is going yet. So he's kinda in limbo. Looking for full time employment to keep him busy unt...

12/14/14 Another Sunday is upon us. I hope your week has been great. We've been keeping busy as usual. The girls have basketball practices and activity days. Katie had a band concert this Tuesday so no YW for her. She played her saxophone in a trio or six-o or something (I wasn't there so I'm not sure!) and she did a piano solo. She is really getting good! And she isn't as chicken as I am so she gets up and performs well. Dad has been working a ton as there are mens and womens games 4 nights of the week. And then there were some type of tournament and he had a bunch of games Friday and Saturday this week too. Busy busy. Friday we had girl scouts and the kids played minute to win it games and did skits. They had a fun time and time went quickly. Me and the girls helped with the ward Christmas party this year so Friday night and then Saturday morning we were over at the church first setting up and getting ready...
12/7/14 Did you get to watch the Christmas Devotional? (It is broadcast Sunday night so we haven't seen it yet but it will be over by the time you read this.) Another busy week here. I thought things would get slower and easier with only 2 kids to take care of but it's not! I think it's even busier because you boys used to help so much. With rides and helping around the house etc. Last Sunday Dad and I spoke in Church. I think it went well. Tons of people said it was awesome and they loved it. Friends of ours stopped by yesterday and said they missed it but HEARD it was great and were sorry that they had been away. I mailed the talks to you. I don't know if they arrived yet or not. We were going to go watch Grandpa sing in the Temple choir but Grandma told us not to. Then at 6 p.m. when it was supposed to start she texted and said, o, there is room, come on over. We didn't. At that point we were already not dr...
11/30/14 How was your week? Did you get the sweaters from grandma and the box we sent? Grandma has been worried it got to you so be sure to send her a little note and let her know! How was your Turkey Day? Did you get double or triple stuffed? We have had a nice week. The beginning was super busy with work but since I was at work until 8:30 p.m. Tuesday I got off at noon on Wednesday and was off the rest of the week. I think that's the longest time I've had off and stayed home and just really enjoyed some days off! Wednesday after work we went to the new buffet in the mall...the pizza pie cafe...the same place we ate at in Provo when we dropped you off to the MTC. It was nostalgic as we thought of you!!! (Hugs!!! I love you!!!) It seems to be a pretty popular place and was pretty busy and hopping. It was good and not too expensive too. We'll go back. Then we went to Grandma and Grandpa's house and helped them with getting thing...
11/23/14 I just watched a video called the 3 A's of Awesome,by Neil Pasricha. It was a 17 minute video that is really inspiring and makes you appreciate what a wonderful thing life is. The 3 A's are: Attitude -- you can't choose what happens to you but you can choose how you react to it. You can be bitter or you can make it better. You can take it poorly or you can see the good in it. Awareness -- be aware of all the great things going on around us and for us. Notice the little things and appreciate them. Authenticity -- learn who you are and follow your heart. Do what you want to do because you love it and don't worry about what others say. He told a story about a big black football player who loved cross stitching. He knitted and cross-stitched in his off time. And he loved it and he didn't care that people thought that was weird. He was having a difficult time in his life and started a blog naming things that were awesome. It e...
11/17/14 Goodbye pumpkins.... So how come P-day got moved to Tuesday this week? What fun are you up to? How's the new comp? You guys adjusting and getting along ok? Saw the weather report for your area...burrrrrr. Hope you are staying warm. You got snow, right? How do you get around? Park the bikes and walk or transit? So this week has been another busy week. Let's see... Monday we went out to Hurricane and interviewed another player. Afterward we stopped at Sonny's BBQ and had dinner. We kind of love that place. In fact we've gone there like 5X since we've been to Dickey's. Not that we don't like Dickey's but ya know. I'll miss your cute faces. Tuesday was Veteran's day. So I had off work, yeah!!! Last week, BOOOO this week...court is gonna be a doozy from missing last week! I went to the parade all by myself (dad was working, Katie was in school, Holly was in the parade, Dallas was working). ...
