March 2012
Spring Break officially starts today! Woo hoo! Dan finally has a full week of work so the boys are working during the days and hoping to find time for 4-wheeling, mountain biking and hiking in the afternoons this week. Dan has some mail boxes up north this week that we will be doing. Then we will go to Logan on Saturday to celebrate my parents March birthdays. They are in great health and just returned from a Hawaii cruise. My siblings all enjoy skiing and I love the fact that I can hike all year long in Southern UT.
We have a backpacking trip planned to Havasupai again in April. At the end of the month we will meet Steve and Danielle in Prescott, AZ where Steve is interviewing for a Dentist job. We are excited to explore the city and help them decide if they should move there this summer. We love the fact that it is just a 5 hour drive that is doable on a 3 day weekend and Cathy gives it two thumbs up; and she should know because she grew up there. Danielle will find the sex of their child later this month.
Carlton and Lindsey just had their Spring break and they took a little road trip to Maryland, West Virginia and Pennsylvania to hike to the high points of each state. They have five states conquered now. And Dillon likes to go along for the hike. He is growing up and will be 5 months in a few weeks. I get to fly to Philly and see Lindsey and family at the end of the month. There is a National ESL conference there and so the school is paying for me to go there and I extended a couple of days so I can play with Dillon. J
Andrew entered the Red Rock Rampage mountain bike race and took first place in his age group and 2nd place overall. He would have come in first but his chain came off twice! He and his friends go 4-wheeling and camping every weekend. He still loves to help Dan build things and work on cars. I’m afraid he has ‘seniorites’ but is still getting good grades.
Dawson’s two good friends reported their missions on Sunday. He is so glad to have some friends home. Hopefully they will soon dare go on a date. He was glad to be able to attend the SLC temple with Darrell and Ryan on a recent road trip up North. He was also able to go and see Jonba play in the state playoffs. Thanks Eve and Darrell for feeding Dawson and his friend and giving them a place to sleep.
We are working on the garden and some spring cleaning this week. We may get Jonba and his buddies down this weekend and we invite anyone else who wants to have a get away to come and see us. You know we like a good reason to party.
Grandma keeps buying cute stuffed bunnies, care bears, and books at the ‘gettin place’ so you better come see her so she can give the cute great grand kids a grandma gift. We love Grandma so much and are so happy to have her here close by. We got to watch Courageous with her, Art and Apryl, Angie and Blake and kids, last night. Thanks to everybody for taking the time to write your letters!
LOVE to you all! Shelly, Dan and family
