Letter to Kathryn 2/16

Foer the sake of my journaling, I am copying my letters to Kathryn here because thats easier than editing and trying to rewrite things :)

Hey Kathryn!!!!!

Hope all is going well for you in good old England, it is so fun to read about all the adventures you are going through and the neat experiences too. You are truly incredible and I am so proud of what you are doing. We had the missionaries over for dinner this week, and they were so hilarious! They had matching metal old school briefcases( in which they were carrying their manuals, scriptures, a random toy for kids and some chocolate syrup haha), matching socks, and matching ties and they kept me laughing the whole night--lol, I forgot how hilarious 19 year olds could be :) We had them over a couple weeks ago too--but this week they must have been feeling goofy, because they were pretty funny. Anyway, I couldn't help but think about you and hope that you were having lots of fun times too.

Life is good here in Rigby ID. Jared got some super exciting news this week--his RZR showed up! It is like a hyped up four wheeler, and because of his job we get one for free :D he has been waiting for it for 4 months and was SO excited to get it. I will attach a picture. I have yet to get too excited about it, but we're going out riding next weekend, so that should be fun.

The kids are doing great, learning and growing and driving me crazy and keeping me sane all at once. Dallin moved to a big bed this week and has been sleeping better which is a gift from heaven for me. He currently runs around the house making revving sounds while he plays with any toys, and he loves to sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star in a tone deaf voice.

Elsie plays and coos all day, and loves to eat her solids, she prefers to feed herself. She is growing fast and is now 7 months old! I love her smiles and her rare cuddles.

I am surviving winter and dreaming of summer :) I succumbed this week and bought strawberries and mangos at the grocery store and they tasted like they came from heaven to me. I spend my days busily doing a million things I can't recall by the end of the day, but I can usually get dinner on the table and get the kids to bed without losing my mind or my temper, so for now I will consider that a success :) I am camp director for our ward and have been working a little on that as well.

I love ya lots and pray for you every day. God Bless
