Here's a snapshot of the older two on our way out for Jons Bday Dinner.
Our family spends many Friday nights renting a Red Box movie and having popcorn--LOVE this new machine!
Sarah has has softball practices--her first game is this Wednesday. It will be fun to see her play "for reals." Rachel had Track try outs times on Saturday-her first meet is on Thursday. They will post what she made Thursday morning. She is doing Long Jump and Triple Jump. Once she saw those SUPER FAST AFRICAN-AMERICAN girls run she thought "um maybe I should try the long/triple jump instead!"--classic.
Anna has her HUGE Destination Imagination competition this Saturday. I have to get her and I CLEAR to Pasadena by 8am and we will be there all.day.long. If her team wins Regional, they will go onto State which is March 31st in the Clovis area.
Becca started gymnastics right up the street here at the community center-seriously so dang cute. Maybe her dimples make it extra cutsey!?
We spent Presidents Weekend in Arrowhead. Robert and I moved a TON furniture into the cabin.
My truck is loaded with stuff for the cabin-the Hales truck was loaded too
along with a huge trailer packed with 11 brand new mattresses. The cabin will pretty much have a bed for all 34 of us-how fun huh!
We were cranking machines! I LOVE to be productive and get.things.done. It was awesome. It had snowed before we got there-so the roads were all clear for us and the sun was out shining and warm-it was perfect.
Todd's family came by Sunday afternoon and moved in more furniture. So now the cabin is pretty much set up!
There is a Jr. High School two houses away from us-so all the kids would just get dressed and walk over there. That is where all the AWESOME snow is to go sledding. Only those of us that live there know about it.
The internet was SUPPOSE to be hooked into the cabin by 5pm on Saturday--the guy didnt even show up till 730 and took till 830pm. So the night before Jon and I had to get our work done for StubGate so we had to get into my denali-drive to McDonalds parking lot to access their free wiFI internet. We had both laptops going and then had to run back to our cabin to get the car battery charger for my laptop to work so we sat in the drive way for FOUR hours WITH the truck engine on to charge my laptop while we worked-then at 1145pm drive BACK to McDonalds to access the free WiFi again.
It was craziness. So when the internet was on and working Jon and I were SO RELIEVED we didnt have to do another 4 hours in our truck! We were done with work in about an hour. SO NICE.
On Valentines Day Mark proposed to Clarissa.
She is in the dark grey. Her mom is on the right of her and her sister on the left.
They've been dating off and on for about two years. Such fun news-she's adorable and loved by everyone. They will get married April 21st. They were trying for sooner but the SD Temple was totally packed up until April 21st. Crazy huh!
Also on Valentines day-
the girls EACH got stuff left on our doorstep. Too cute!
Rachel received a letter from her HS Art Teacher.
Basically telling us she has a huge future in Art. Awesome!
Business is doing FANTASTIC and we are BEYOND grateful. Such a blessing-so thankful.
Sadly Jon has come down with another UTI. Poor guy. It makes him tight, feel like he has the flu, feverish, cold, hot-just all around yucky. It started just today. Jon always has a chronic running UTI-it's part of his injury. Sometimes it stays calm, and sometimes it flares up-it just kind of is what it is. We try to fight them naturally because if you keep feeding it to antibiotics-you have to get a stronger and stronger one. We are worried one day when he has a REALLy bad one-he'll have already gone thru all the anti's and nothing will work. The last one he had not too long ago was really rough. He tried to fight it too long. We'll see how long he wants to fight this go around. When he's like this-he is bed bound for about a week. Makes life a little difficult. Hopefully he gets thru this UTI quick and he can resume to his life again.

PRAYING FOR JON HOPE HE FEELS BETTER REAL QUICK
So much going on! Miss you guys ;)
I hope Jon is feeling better. It sounds miserable. I wonder if there is some herbal remedy that could help him so he doesn't have to do the meds so much. I'll ask around here, tons of people I know are into it.
You'll have to show pictures of the cabin all done. It sounds like it will be so fun, kind of like what Amie's parents have for their family.
Congrats to Mark on getting engaged. That is really exciting.
wow you have been very busy.
So sorry about Jon.. I really hope he starts feeling better.....
