I guess I better not put this off anymore. We have been sick at our house as well. Skyler started a couple of weeks ago with me close behind. I am still sick! I am pretty good during the days now, but the night and mornings aren't so good. My throat has been pretty sore.

We had a busy week last week. I had my first Scout meeting with the Wolve's on Wednesday. There were only four of them there--Jaydon and his three buddies. They have a hard time sitting still, especially when Jaydon brings his football. As long as they are actively doing something, they are fine, but if you stop for a minute, they're up and going again. It will be a fun experience. I think it is probably a good thing that Jaydon will move up to Bears in a month. I have also been playing the piano in Primary--yeah, pretty scary. I am subbing for the regular pianist who just had a baby. I have done it for the past two Sundays and will do next Sunday. We then have Stake Conference and she will start back up the week after. She did ask if I would do it again when they bless their baby in March. Although I mess up every song, it has been a good experience for me. My biggest challenge is playing while they sing--especially if I mess up. I'm exercising my faith.

Skyler and Chad went on a Scout camp with the 12/13 year old Scouts on Fri/Sat somewhere in Salt Lake. They were able to stay warm sleeping in a cabin. Skyler was lucky his dad was with him as his water bottle leaked all over his sleeping bag and it was soaked! Chad stoked up the fire and dried it. They got to go sledding--Skyler's tube popped on the first run--and Skyler also got to launch his rocket, which flew! They had fun.

While they were gone, Alex got to have a late night. We were planning to get their Book It personal pan pizza's from Pizza Hut, but they didn't have any that day! So we went to Wendy's instead. We also got Movie Theatre popcorn for me, but my throat was hurting too much that I didn't eat much. We took her friend, Kaelei home at 9 p.m. because the next morning Keiera, Alex, and Kaelei went to a dance/cheer clinic held at Utah State. They had to be there at 8 a.m. to register and stayed until noon. I had to wake up all three of my kids!!! (The only day this break they didn't wake up on their own by 7 a.m.!) I came home and tried to have a short nap before taking Jaydon to his basketball game. His team was down by 11 in the first quarter. Then they held the other team the next two quarters. The fourth quarter they went ahead and almost won. Jaydon shot 2 foul shots--I don't think he was really suppose to. He made one of the two and put them ahead by 2 points. The other team scored within the last minute and Jaydon's team made several additional attempts. Luckily Jaydon had made that foul shot and they tied--17 to 17.

The girls got to perform at the Aggie Basketball game on Saturday night. When we first signed Alex up, she said she wouldn't perform. After the practice on Saturday, she was really mad at me because we didn't buy any tickets and it was a sold out game. I was able to call the lady in charge and get one before she gave back the extra ones she had. As it cost $10, we only bought one and Chad took the girls, including Alex's friend. I wanted to watch them, but I wasn't feeling good enough to go. Chad tried to video it for me, but only got a small part for some reason. I'm just glad they had fun and Chad was able to take them.

Well, that's our past week!
