Oh Hi...

Yes, I have been seriously slacking on my blog. Sorry to those five people who really look at it but not much has been going on around here- or maybe it is because too much is going on that I haven't been able to keep up. I took a total of five pictures in February and about the same amount this month. My one class and internship have been keeping me very busy, not to mention being a full time teacher on top of that. I currently have 260 essays waiting to be graded (most essays are double sided which means about 520 pages of reading and there are many other good books I would rather be reading! Jenny- thanks for offering to read them but most of them really are painful and nothing like a good book).

Jason and I were lucky to get away over President's Day to Mesquite with Juli and Travis. The boys spent some time on the golf course while we checked out the Parade of Homes. We did get the boys shopping at the Vegas outlets and had a delicous Valentine's meal at the Cheesecake Factory. The best part was wearing flip flops and the warm weather. It was a nice, relaxing weeked which may become a tradition.

Jason and Max have been busy skiing every Saturday. Max took two sessions of lessons this year and just passed level 3 with flying colors. His teacher did say he needs to slow down a bit.... I skied with him two Saturdays ago and nervously followed him through the terrain park. He had to hit every jump and lost both skis on the big one. All he could say after was "that was fun!" Jason had the honor of taking the toboggan down for Lynn Cooper's memorial. It was a neat experience for him and he did a great job even though he was nervous.

Klein has been busying growing up too fast. She says "thank you" any time she is handed something and her other favorite phrase is "c'ya bye" as she walks out the door that she can unfortunately open. We put up the trampoline and the kids have loved being outside in the sunshine. Max already has a tan line even though it really hasn't been that warm. Max decided not to play soccer this year and is looking forward to baseball. We signed him up to play coach pitch rather than tee ball. I am excited for the warmer weather even though in Cache Valley it will probably be snowing until May.
