Happy Friday!

It's Friday here and it's suppose to be spring but if you were look out our window, you'd see the snow falling as I type. Oh well, it's still pretty. (Here's a picture of Kate and I checking out the snow).

Things here are quiet. The kids are all at school for their last day before Spring Break. We've got nothing special planned except Jesse's 8th birthday next Thursday. She'll probably have her two girlfriends from her CTR8 class over for the day and a family birthday party when Brent gets home from work. She can't wait to go to Activity Days. The leader and all the girls made her a welcome card this last week to welcome her in since she gets to go to their next activity.

Britt cracks me up. You will probably relate but this girl loves to read. Everytime we turn around, she has her nose in a book. She loves it so much it's actually getting her in trouble now. She puts reading above everything. School and house work gets put aside so she can read (huh, that's sounds like me). Her teacher loves the fact that she's always reading except that she's not turning in her reading log or getting her other work done. How do you get someone to stop something that we spent that last several years trying to get her to do?

Kate is into EVERYTHING!!! Here's her latest adventure:

Morgan is doing well. Nothing really to be totally excited about but he is getting ready for 6th grade camp. He's constantly talking about the different activities he will get to participate in. He can't wait!

Well, here's our update for the time being. Check back again and if you want, drop us a line. We'd love to know how you're doing.

Drinking from a fire hose

You ever have something thrown at you so overwhelming that you felt like you were trying to drink from a fire hose? Well that is how the last couple of weeks has been. I am learning a lot but have also lost a lot of sleep not being able to feel like I am in control of what I am supposed to be doing. The guys I work with have an abundance of knowledge but lack slightly in some of the more social aspects. I can't seem to get any of them to look at me during a conversation. For the most part you can see the fact that they love computers and love to "talk" to their computers. I am going to do my very best, as well I should, but I think I will look elsewhere in Boeing for somewhere to land in the not to distant future. For now I will try to learn as much as I can and hope I can figure out why God wants me here at this time.

Have a great night.

Several Weeks Later...

You'd think I'd have things going by now but sadly I do not. I have no excuses because I feel that excuses are just not taking responsibility for your actions. I have just chosen to do other things (play with the kids, clean the house or whatever else "needed" to be done).

Week 1 of Boeing. Brent is now settled and even has his own phone number. I don't know it right off the top of my head though so I can't tell you. Sorry but if you'd like his cell number, just email and I'd be happy to give it to you.

Kate is now walking!!! I can't believe it. She's funny to watch because she just starts to do it. We've been coaxing her for the last few nights, maybe even the last week but tonight she just started doing it on her own. Brent and I were playing a video game and the next thing we knew, she was walking between the recliner to the couch between us. I can't believe she's already there! Yikes! Time sure does fly.

Thank you to everyone that helped Britt make her Girl Scout Cookie goal! She had her last booth sale last weekend and we should be getting her final totals sometime this month.

Britt and I attended Roger's High School's performance of Disney's "Beauty and the Beast". We have three teenagers from our ward that Britt's knows in the performance and since it's my favorite Disney story, we went together. We had a great time and really enjoyed going. The whole cast did a really great job and it was fun. If you get a chance, there four more performances this weekend and it's worth seeing.

Well, for now, that's all that is going on. We're busy these next few days but my goal is to get pictures on this blog by the end of the month! There, now I've put out there for all of you to read so now I have to do it. Doesn't the saying go "a goal is just a wish until it's written down"? If not, it sounds good any ways!
