February is here!

Wow time flies. We have had a busy January. Darin was just called as the Assistant to the Teachers and the Varsity Coach.....Yes the no-scouter Darin. He has been having some good experiences with our boys camping and doing the scout thing. I told him he better get some practice in considering we have 4 boys. He will be busy. (I am so glad that Moms don't go camping with the scouts!!!!!!!!) I help can help out with the cubs and I am currently the Scout Committee Chair. I am learning alot about Boy Scouts as well. A couple of weekends ago the boys and Darin went camping and stayed in a yurt? This is not roughin it at all! It was cold till they turned on the generator and heated the place. This is inside the Yurt!
Darin has opted out of the snow cave camping trip coming up soon. Well have to see about that. He maybe the scout master one day and will need that wonderful experience. Travis and Ty are Deacons. Travis will be in with Darin in April. It would not have been bad if the snow wasn't 2 feet deep and everytime they stepped they fell through so it was tough going. On the way in they all walked and pushed sleds with their gear. On the way out they used Snowmobiles!! SMART!!

Larissa is counting down the days till she will have her REAL drivers license. 34 days! OH...help me!!! She thinks that she will be able to take my car to school! FAT CHANCE!@!!!

Jenessa is just applying like crazy for scholarships and is getting excited to go to college. It looks like she has narrowed her choices down to BYU (Provo), Utah State (Logan), or Weber State (Ogden). So many choices to make.

Travis, Ty, Phil and Nate are obsessed with a game called Dark Orbit that is on the internet. They would play it 24/7 if I let them. It is funny to see that Nathan @ 7 is not far behind Travis @ 13 when it comes to the computer. They like this game cause they can play with their cousins....all linked in from their homes. Computers are amazing!! It is a beautiful clear day today! Travis asked when we could move somewhere that didn't have snow. It has been snowing alot but we really need it. We hope that you are all well. We think of you often. Wish you were all close by! Looking forward to being closer to the Fife's!! The kids sure love to get together. Larissa is are obsessed with the twins. I know we will be taking trips to SLC alot now! It will be fun to see everyone for Dallas' wedding. Will list the information just as soon as we get it!!! Have a great day!
