Just Stuff

I love my kids!  They are the best!  They drive me crazy sometimes, yes, but I love them so much.

Rex, who is 7, just learned how to make himself a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.  Now he can make two things for himself, cereal and peanut butter and jelly.  This is a big day for him and me.  He is now less dependent on me and he doesn't have to only eat cereal when he gets hungry in between meals.

Vanessa is practicing her little heart out for her concert, which by the way, all of you are invited to attend.  Her concert is on Saturday March 18th, 1pm, at Kent Concert Hall, Utah State University campus, east corner of campus.  She came home from school yesterday, after staying after school for 90 minutes to practice with her orchestra teacher, in tears.  She said how hard the piece of music is and that her friend, who is a second chair violinist, not first chair like she is, has a way easier piece to learn.  I told her how much more advanced of a player she is than her friend and that her friend is probably going home in tears to her mother because her piece of music is too hard for her to learn.  That calmed Vanessa down and we were able to talk about the details of the performance and the practices which are over in Logan, 25 minutes away.

Jared is on a snowmobiling trip to Wyoming right now with his brothers, uncle Cordell, and cousins.  This will be a 3 day trip for him.  I talked to him this morning and he said his brothers and him stayed up until 4am last night chatting.  He said that Grayson, his 28 year old brother told them his conversion story.  Grayson has been away from the Church for the last 12 years 'ish.'  He recently got engaged and we are so happy for him.

Other than that, life is business as usual.
