Tyler is waiting.......

Hello, everyone! We are all very excited that Tyler sent in his mission papers on Sunday (electronically). He is hoping he will have his mission call soon. We would love to hear where you think he will go. We will send a surprise to the person who is the closest. You can leave a comment here or email me.

Cakes

We are so blessed to have some amazing neighbors. One of our neighbors enjoys making cakes so asked if she could make our children cakes for their birthdays. I am more than happy to let her make cakes for our children. She makes some amazing cakes, as you can see. She also happens to be Justin's 1st grade teacher!

Tiffany, 14

Justin, 7

Lindsey, 11

This morning she brought this just to say, "HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!"

Josh basketball

For Josh and the JV basketball team, the last game of the season is tonight, where they compete for the championship title. Josh has done well this year and improved in his overall game. He is so much fun to watch! In the pictures, he is #3 & #4. The video is of Josh (#3) playing in a JV basketball game.

Jump Josh(#4), jump!

Prepared?

After returning home from making copies, I found out that we had no electricity when our garage door would not open. Normally, we just use our garage door so we don't have to worry about carrying our house keys. I wasn't too concerned until I went to retrieve our hidden key only to find it missing. So, I sat outside, in our van, watching the snow fall for a few hours until I went to pick up Tiffany, Lindsey & Justin from school. On the drive home, I learned that Justin had buried the key, but he was sure he could dig and find it under the snow & dirt. Right. By the time we returned home, the power was back on. When I got inside, I found our house keys and put one in our hidden spot and one on my keychain. It was a strange feeling being locked out of my own home. Lesson learned.

Braces

After getting 4 teeth pulled about 2 weeks ago, Josh got braces on Monday. Brianna was intrigued with the whole process. We are glad that Josh's teeth will look a lot better.

Halloween!

This year, our trick-or-treating crew seemed small. We only had 3 children who participated this year. Our ward had a chili & soup dinner and then trunk-or-treat. Besides the wind, everything turned out great! Here are pictures of our football player and cheerleaders.

Ukulele

Tyler has to do a big project for his Book of Mormon class that will strengthen his testimony. Tyler has decided to learn to play the ukulele and sing the song, "How Can I Be?" He bought a ukulele and is learning how to play. I have enjoyed watching him be willing and excited to learn new things.
