Random Rambling....

I hate to post without pictures, it's boring (I know Andrea). But I decided that this blog was more for us to have as a history as much as people to see what is going on. So, if you want to read on go ahead, if not I understand.
This week, as every week, has been busy. We had Chelsea home for the Weekend. We like it when she comes home. We really miss her during the week. We wish she could find a good job in Logan so she could have a weekend life in college, but we do enjoy her coming home. Kelly, Chelsea and I met our friend Tex monday for lunch in Provo at the Chinese Buffet, mmmm it was good. Then Chelsea headed back on up to Logan.
Tylen and Chase pretty much have been working. They have a lot of work to make up since wrestling took so much of their time. The have bills to pay. Tylen is getting ready to graduate in a few months. I can't believe it. We talk a bit about his plans. He wants to be a dentist. His plans are to stay home and start general classes at UVU and continue to work at Smith's then go on his mission. After that he will decide where to go. It won't be long and we will have a few missionaries out. (I hope Chelsea goes someday.)
Chase has been miserable sick for almost 2 weeks now. I'm not one to run the kids to the doctor for every little sniffle, but when it goes on for so long and they don't seem to get better, I take them. Chase has a sinus infection, so we got him on antibiotics today, he will feel better soon. I hope he is not like his dad and grandpa who had lots of sinus problems and surgery. Chase also asked Mallory Utley to Prom. Junior prom is a big deal here and I told him I don't care if he goes to any other dances, but he has to go to his Jr. prom. He put his name in a bag of ice and put on her porch with a note that said, "It would be cool if you would go to Prom with me." Well a few nights later, at 10:30 our doorbell rang. Now we have to step back and explain that Chase is trying to grow a "STACHE" (mustache). Sorry Chase you just are not hairy enough. Well, Mallory's note said, "Chase we will definately look "sharp" at prom" and it had a razor taped to it with a can of shaving cream and a p.s. that said" the stache has to go" We laughed so hard. People are giving Chase a pretty hard time about the stache, in fact at work a guy told him another week or so and they would deport him. 17 year old boys trying to grow facial hair is just awkward.
Keaton has been babysitting again for Rusty, she is a Respiratory Therapist that I met at the hospital here and she is a single mom with 3 kids. She now works at Primary Children's and Keaton will go over on a Friday and stay over night with the kids. They love him and he does such a great job. And for someone not quite old enough to work, he is making good money. In fact over the summer he bought a dirt bike with his money. Way to go Keat. Keaton is also, how should I say, In very much like with a girl. They both have parents who don't want them to do the boyfriend/girlfriend thing, but they seem to do alot together. What do you do?
Cameron has decided to continue wrestling. I want to be supportive, but I'm having a hard time with the time commitment for it. It will really help him improve though, so what do you do? We have great coaches here and it is good for him. I hope he is successful.
Caroline has been busy practicing clogging and playing. She had decided that she needs to go downstairs and practice for at least 30 minutes every day. I'm proud of her, that's how you get better. She has set a goal to try out for the Jr. All American team this year at nationals. I am glad that the kids have goals.
Kelly and I have just been busy working as usual. Kelly has taught a lot of scuba lately, and continues to do that. We can't wait for Harley weather. We have a few trips planned. SanFrancisco (not on the harley) in March, Canada in June. and a few others. We will also be going to the piaute trail with the rhino for some trail riding and camping and hopefully to moab.
The weather has been warmer but snowy. Last year at this time, it was bitter cold. We are thankful for the snow and the moisture it brings. I can't wait to plant my garden again. I want to try some new things.
