Spring has sprung! We are on spring break for a week and are actually staying home for the break. I am way behind on cleaning and spent a wonderful day today going through files, putting away scrapbook stuff that has been waiting for me to get around to it, and throwing stuff away! More tomorrow….
Actually, we did make a quick trip up to Logan on Saturday to celebrate my mom and dad’s birthdays. My Dad is now 80 years young and my mom right behind him. They still work at the temple two days a week and my mom was just called as a counselor in the Stake RS Presidency so they continue to stay young in service. What great examples we have been blessed to have in our lives. Dad and Mom Flake have worn themselves out in service. What an awesome example they have been to us and our family.
Dan is busy with mailboxes again now that the ground has thawed out. He is waiting for the mountain areas to melt and get warmer so he can move on to his other jobs. He has a reservoir ramp to do as soon as it gets warm enough to pour concrete there.
I am enjoying a week off from school and now it means that there is only one quarter left of school. The boys are happy about this as well. We had to take them out for a steak earlier this week because Dawson earned an A- in Pre-Cal and Andrew got 100% on his history test and so they both had all A’s!
Dawson enjoyed a great season of church ball. Andrew is submitting his idea for his Eagle project; Lindsey is dancing, dancing, dancing and filling out mission papers! Danielle and Steve are anxious to prepare for their move to Portland next August. We are flying up there with them on April 24 to look at the housing prospects for them while Steve is in dental school for four years. Danielle has been in touch with Alisha and Scott and we have talked to Hal and hope to meet his new wife while we are up there.
Congratulations Hal on your upcoming marriage. We are so happy for you and wish you much love and happiness. Anyone else getting married this summer? Any babies being announced? Congratulations Nancy on finishing up your RN schooling! You go girl!
We are planning on the reunion over the first week of July. Thanks Julie for your preparation. Please let us know how we can help.
We enjoy getting weekly updates on mom and dad’s health. We sure would love to have them come out for Easter and Conference. Let us know when you feel up to it.
Thanks to all of you who write and keep us updated each month. We love you and pray that you will continue to be blessed and watched over.
Much love and Easter wishes,
Shelly, Dan and family
