Hey Everyone,

It’s been great hearing how everyone’s lives are going. I just love this Family Web Site Deal. Just thought since I have been slacking on my contribution I would update you on our family going ons. Shawn is in Mexico fishing right at this minute. While the kids and I are here in Rexburg FREEZING! It did get up to 40 degrees, Shade thought we were having a heat wave and wore shorts to school. Shawn is supposed to get home tonight, however, I haven’t heard from him since he left so hopefully as Nicole put it he isn’t in some Mexican Jail. Our house is coming along after many set backs with windows, 90 year old house problems and such. They are just finishing up the sheet rock so the kids are getting excited because they can see their spaces now. We are hoping to get in the first part of March as Shawn has a couple big jobs that will start then, weather pending.

The kids are doing great. Shade is getting ready for baseball. He will be playing on a traveling team this year, which really means it just starts earlier. He has a girl he likes, which he is not keeping secret as in the past. I don’t know if I should take this as a good or bad thing. I keep trying to tell him girls are lots funner when they are just friends, hopefully it’s getting thru. He has been snow boarding as much as possible, we are hoping with this warm weather all the snow doesn’t melt on the mountain. Morgan has been knitting on her knitting wheel. She has made a couple hats and now is trying to learn to crochet. She loves to sew, and does it any chance she can get me to help her. I’m not quite ready to set her free on my sewing machine yet. She has been coming to team penning and sorting (a thing you do with horses & cows), and has been loving being able to herd to cows. Carter is still Carter. He lost both of his front teeth the last couple of weeks and his bottom two haven’t quite come in all the way, so he likes to make faces showing it off. He is doing great in school, although if I read thru the lines when talking to his teacher, quite a handful. I’m afraid he is a bit spoiled as he is our baby even though he will be six next month.

Shawn & I are doing great. I just got released from Young Womens, I thought I was ready until it actually happened. The girls came over last night with a little something after mutual last night, I sure am going to miss being involved with them. I have been taking my new horse, Doc, to team penning every other Saturday, it has been a great day off for me. I’m playing City League volleyball again. Each year I play I feel older & older with more aches and pains. Shawn has been working, working, working. As always he has 20 different projects going at once, so I guess he deserves a little break to Mexico. We are in the process of selling the lawncare business, so we will only be doing landscape from now on. Hopefully, that will give him a little breathing room in the summer.
So as you can see life goes on. We are so blessed and think of all of you. Be Well and Happy.
Kandee, Shawn, Shade, Morgan, Carter
