February 2012

Hope everyone had a nice Valentines and got to spend it with people they love. Cupid hasn’t found Dawson yet; we can’t get him to go on a date. I guess he is just waiting for some of his friends to return from their missions so he has some support. He is busy in school and playing basketball and indoor soccer and mountain biking with Dan and Andrew.

Dan is busy looking for jobs. Hope he finds one soon; the “looking” doesn’t pay very well. He has switched his Bishopric duties from the primary to the YMYW so he is busy helping plan scouting activities and working with the young men aerating lawns to help raise money for those activities.

My school year is flying by. We added an additional period this year to help the students who need a little more help so it makes my days extra busy. I also have to test all of the ESL students individually at this time of the year so that takes a lot of time. I love my students and sometimes worry too much about them. I want them to find a better way.

Andrew is having a great senior year. He was chosen as the Sterling Scholar winner in Skills and Technical Sciences Education for his school. We just prepared a 40 page portfolio and he will interview soon for the Southwest region competition. He helped start a mountain bike club at his school and they ride once a week. Unlike Dawson, he has been dating and enjoying dances and four wheeling dates. J Andrew is hoping to go to EFY with his cousins the week before the reunion. Hope you guys can make it happen.

The temple is closed for cleaning for two weeks so Grandma and Art and Apryl are on a break. Dawson has also been helping in the baptistery on the early morning shift so he gets to sleep in a little more. Dawson was just called to be a ward missionary so he loves going out with the Elders.

The grandbabies are growing and we are excited that Danielle and Steve will have our third grandbaby in August. Congrats to Darrell and Eve too!

Well enjoy your spring and take time to smell the daffodils! Love to all!
