So March is here in full bluster and blow and I still haven't gotten out my Christmas cards. I stayed on crutches until Christmas and then the first week of January slipped on some water and dislocated my right shoulder. I didn't dare show up to work or church in my sling because I knew everyone was going to laugh their heads off at my new klutz wardrobe. I am actually grateful that I had more smiles and condolensces than full blown gaffaws from friends and family members.
Leigh and Ali continue to live in our basement apartment and have added to their residence of not only their dog Brinley, but also kittens (they babysit the neighbor's toyger kittens getting them familiar with other handlers, ready to go to new homes). Ali also has started helping a neighbor with their sled dog team and has gotten to go with them up to Park City and become a musher in training to learn to drive the sled. Leigh is looking forward to school being out and will just have work at the MTC (Missionary Training Center) everyday but not classes and homework on top of it. So now our house has 3 dogs, 1 bird, 3 permanant cats, various foster kittens and two bunny rabbits.
Sarah has been accepted to start the Early Childhood Education major at BYU so starts into official teaching classes in April. She has spent this year finishing up all of her GE classes to be able to start. She has a PE class geared towards teaching PE to kids so has gotten to relearn how to hula hoop and play hopscotch and 4 square. She is loving it. 
Marie just turned 18 in January and had a fun surprise birthday party. She also just finished being in the school play "Diary of Anne Frank and other WWII stories" at Lehi High School. It was an amazing 3 hour show and touched all of us deeply to want to be more accepting of everyone in our world. She is now in rehearsal for their musical for next month which is Titanic, the musical. This was actually put on Broadway about 3 months prior to the Leonardo DeCaprio movie version came out and though it did great it's first 3 months it died after the movie came out and hasn't shown since. It is emotionally challanging because she is a steward and had to help keep passengers back from the lifeboats when there isn't enough room. She says the songs are beautiful and the show nothing like the movie except that the boat still sinks in the end. Marie will graduate with high honors 4.0 in June and has accepted enrollment at BYU-Idaho in Rexburg. She has many cousins who are also attending there so is excited to join them.

Brian continues to enjoy life. He is in 9th grade and Rockwell Charter High School and plans to stay there for the next 3 years also if possible. He enjoys singing and his art and jewelry making classes and cooking classes that he has been taking. He plans to go to Young Ambassadors Singing Entertainers Camp at BYU again this summer with Marie, they both loved it last year. His favorite new game is TRON on the Wii and loves to hang out with his best friend Jordan Rohan who lives across the street.
Life continue to be fun and crazy as we yearn for spring and try to start getting gardens planted and garage cleaned out and winter dust mucked out. Keep smiling, it makes people wonder what your up to.
