February News

Happy Valentines Day to all of you and a big “I love you!”
from the Dan and Shelly Flake Family!!
We missed hearing from most of you last month—so get with it—and write and let everyone know what you are up to. We hope that mom is continuing to gain strength and feel better. Keep up the exercising and taking those pills on time. We look forward to seeing you at the end of July.
We enjoyed hanging with Jonathon, Jeremiah and Monson last weekend in Provo. Jon and Lesa were off to Mexico on a real honeymoon so we missed them. But they got to stay at our house in St. George while we were off playing a few weeks before. Anyway, we keep missing them. We would love to see their family move back to St. George.

We are glad to have Art and Apryl living in St. George again. I even bribed Art into speaking at our youth Standard’s Night this month. We got to see Angie, Blake, Amber and family at Lindsey’s Utah Flash game last weekend. Isaiah turned 12 and had his little party come to the game. Dawson was picked by the Flash Fox as the “Craziest Fan at the Game”. He received two lower bowl tickets to the Utah Jazz game next week valued at $100. each. We are all vying to be the lucky one to accompany him. I think that Steve is in the best position being that he has a birthday coming up this week!

Danielle and Lindsey are both enjoying BYU and doing a pretty good job of keeping their grades up while maintaining jobs and social life’s. Steve and Danielle will be moving to Portland, Oregon in August to begin dental school. Dawson loves playing church ball and his team is dominating!! Andrew and Dan survived the Klondike and sleeping in snow caves over night. (Jonathon and Jeremiah almost lost their toes to frostbite at their Klondike last weekend, but made it through the night, too)

I am busy with teaching and finishing the last two classes of my Master’s Degree and finishing my final project. Can’t wait until that is over with!! We are planning a hike down into Havasupai in Arizona on the weekend of May 2. Please let us know soon if any of you can join us. James, Jared, Aaron, Darrell???

Well, we love you all and send our best. Keep in touch and thanks to all of you helping out with Mom and Dad!
Much love, Shelly, Dan and kids
