February

I just want to give a shout out to my Aunt Toni - HI!! Thanks for reading our blog! Our February has gone by quickly and is slipping away fast! Chad and I went to Mom's for Valentine's week - always fun! Lots of work, but exciting to be doing something else for a change. Craig and the kids did great while we were away - the house was clean and laundry done. I brought Jennifer home with me for a day and a half, we took a sight-seeing/eating tour of Pocatello. Two things we do well!!! Ryan is leaving today to go to Nampa - near Boise - for state wrestling - he didn't qualify, but is going to support his team. Some of the other wrestlers came to school yesterday with mohawks and diamond shaved into the sides of their heads (our mascot is the diamondback rattler) Ryan said he didn't think he wanted to do that and can I just say - GOOD!!! Craig and I are celebrating our 17th wedding aniversary this Saturday the 23rd. Some days I can't believe it's been that long - it's flown by and then some days I can! We are excited to watch the lunar eclipse tonight - 5:43 p.m. - 10:09 p.m. MST and to celebrate Hootie Hoo Day today - it's the day you go outside and yell "hootie hoo" to scare away winter and welcome spring. So everybody yell "hootie hoo" and let's get spring here!!! Courtney has been babysitting a couple of times this month and was finally able to buy a CD she has been wanting "Labyrinth - movie soundtrack". Joslyn and Chad celebrated 100 days of school on the 6th with everything numbers! They had to take 100 treats to school, wear shirts with numbers on them, count by 2's, 5's and 10's to 100, balance on one leg, be silent, and count 100 people in a room. We are looking forward to a great March - Grandma Anne's 85th birthday party is on March 1st - going to be lots of fun!!! March 4th - march forth - make some new goals for yourself, springing forward for daylight savings, St. Patrick's Day, Easter, and spring break are going to be fun, fun, fun!!!
