It's March already. Happy Birthday to my Sister Wendy and Brother Robert. I love you both so much and hope your birthdays are filled with joy and wonderful memories.

I'm going to give you a run down of the family. I promise not to do this all the time, but it's fun to think of each of them one by one and the great things they are doing.

I am keeping very busy with being a mom and preparing things for girls camp this year. My kids have been great at stepping up to help and I am so proud of them.

Jeff enjoyed participating in a bowl-a-thon a few weeks ago and stays busy with work and his calling. He's a great dad and loves to visit with the kids and tease them or give lots of advice and council with them.

Aimee has discovered that she likes to play games on the computer and so the competition continues as to who gets to be on and for how long.

Darin was asked a few weeks ago to give the blessing on the food. He didn't want to, but with a lot of insistence from his dad he finally decided to do it. So, he then proceeds with his blessing and asks that the food will not be poisonous.

Allan had his writing TAKS test last week. He finished around 2:30 and is glad that it's all behind him. He's helping Elena meet some goals so that they both can get a gerbil.

Kacie is enjoying playing basketball with the young women. She is really good at defense and is developing some good basketball skills.

Elena loves driving the car. She can't wait to be 16 so that mom doesn't have to be in the car with her.

Brian is searching for a job, being the handyman at home, entertaining his younger brothers and sisters, getting caught up on NCIS, attending institute and hanging out with friends. He is ready to go off to school and make something more of his life.

Kelli is doing great at school and has mastered the art of driving a standard!!!!!

Jared and Julianna are doing great and we love and miss them soooooo much. The have a bed frame for their bed, found the lost keys, enjoy being together, and just seem to be doing everything right in life.
