Does it ever Stop

Hello Everyone

I know it has been a very long time. Just a quick, long update.

Lynn is still working for SimplexGrinnell and work has been very, very SLOW. He gets excited when he comes home and actually has work to work on. We are very grateful that he is still employed. Lynn is still helping to coach Hanalee's team and stays really busy doing that. Lynn and I have been running together on Saturday's and when we can we get the kids to go with us. It has been fun and it's great to exercise with someone.

I have a new job as of January. I clean on office building everyday for 2 hours, doing a mid day tidy. It's not what I want to do and I actually really don't like the job, but it is helping out. I am also still catering with the Red Flame (I love that job). I don't seem to have as much time to craft with my new job, but I am trying to squeeze some in. I take Daphne to the High School everyday and I am thinking of getting my chauffeur license.

Daphne made the High School Softball team and LOVES IT! She has played a little in the varsity games but mainly plays JV. She will be playing in St. George next weekend and has games twice a week. She loves being on the team and is having a great time. In February Daphne, Hanalee and I went to St George for a softball tournament and she played great. The weather was rainy and cold, but we had a great time. Daphne was also recently called as the Mia-Maid class president. Softball keeps her very busy with very little time for friends. But anytime with friends is better than no time. She is doing well in Junior High and is looking forward to High School this fall.

Hanalee is still playing softball. Her team went to St. George in February also (a weekend after Daphne) and her team took 2nd. She pitched awesome and even hit well. She loves her new team and has made tons of new friends. Hanalee is also doing well in school and seems to enjoy it. Somedays we have a hard time getting her to do her homework, but she is doing well. Hanalee just turned 13, so we have 2 teen-agers in the house now. Boy are they fun!

Miles turned 8 and was baptized in February. He has been going to Cub Scouts and seem to be enjoying Scouts. We just experienced our first Scout-O-Rama ticket sales and he is looking forward to going to day camp in June. We also had Miles playing Jr. Jazz basketball this winter and he starts Baseball in April (Lynn signed up to be his coach). He is busy and loves to play with friends.

We are all doing great, just very busy.

We love and miss you all!

If I can figure out the picture thing again I will post some pictures of the kids. I should probably take some pictures too.
