Dear Family & Friends:

While I was at a training class this week, R had a fun time with the boys. I always seem to leave her with the boys on the crazy weeks. J is getting over a cold, ear infection and a runny nose and RM is stuffed up. It doesn’t make for fun nights.

For Valentine’s Day R made cupcakes with and frosting during the day with J. J has a sweet tooth and was very excited for the treats. For Family Home Evening they delivered cupcakes to some people and then had a lesson on J 3:16.

R had lunch with some friends on Wednesday. They surprised her for her birthday, for the following day. The kids all played around the house while the women ate a fun lunch. It’s fun to have such a good group of friends around.

For her birthday dinner, R took the boys to Wendy’s. It seems like the Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger is getting smaller and smaller. We’ll make sure we celebrate her birthday better this next week.

On the way home from work on Friday, I met R and the boys at a park. The weather was perfect, 72 degrees with a little wind, and the boys took advantage of it. They ran around for an hour before we went back home. We went to our friends for dinner – burgers in February! We ate out on the deck until the crazy winds pushed us inside.

R went to an auction on Saturday. She almost purchased a few items, but ended up not buying anything since we’re not sure what we’ll need in the next house. After she got back home, I went to the Stake Center to referee a couple of basketball games. It was my first time, and the young men didn’t complain too much about my calls.

Right after the game, I tried to find someone to carpool with to the temple. I couldn’t find anybody ready to go on such short notice, so I raced to get there by the 5:30 start time. While I was at the temple, Becca and the boys had a fun pizza dinner.

We all made it to church today, with nobody sick. J apparently forgot how to act at church, and had to be pulled out a few times for shrieking. Right at the end of Sacrament meeting, RM had a blowout diaper, a lot of which got transferred to R’s outfit. Thankfully, she had a jacket to cover up most of the mess. We went to a friend’s house for dinner to round out a nice day.

We love you all!
