So last Thursday we had our ward Relief Society Visiting Teaching Conference. It was good they had a little dinner that was a little different. They had a macaroni salad with pineapple in it. Anyway the desseret was really good. It was a little long it started at 6:30 and didn't get over until almost nine.
Saturday Cole had a basketball game. They lost there first game by a couple of baskets. You could tell Cole still didn't feel while. He stayed home from church two Sundays ago and then from School on Thursday both days throwing up then again this Saturday just tired. I think the basketball game on Saturday was a little to much. We also went to Aunt Dorthy's Funeral. It was fun to see all her girls again and Aunt Linda and Uncle Carl. Our whole family went and mom and dad where up there to. We drove by grandpa's old house and took some pictures. We saw a slide show and the pictures of Uncle George look just like grandpa wow. I couldn't tell them apart other than the ciggarete hanging out of Uncle George's mouth. There was even one of Aunt Dorthy that looked like grandma. Then Saturday night mom and dad came over and watched the kids while we went to a ward adult party. They had a sock hop. It was really fun. Our ward was able to put a band together they were so good. The singer was meant to be an entertainer. They had a dance and dinner. Hamburgers, chips and Rroot beer. They had pictures in front of a motorcycle. One of the girls in the ward her dad had booths and dance floor and table and an ice cream shop. So it looks so cool. Anyway not a very good turn out. But you have to remember there are 550 people in are ward mostly all young and maybe 8 teenagers that can babysit. So if you don't have family and didn't call early you couldn't come. It was to bad it was fun.
So Sunday Cole was sick so we Ryan and I traded again. We stayed home mom and dad were busy after church.
Monday there was no school so we tried to go to a movie in the afternoon but it was sold out. We saw a think about 15 different families we knew. We finally did get into the 7 pm show and there were only about 6 families there. I was glad we waited. We went and saw Road to Tarabethea (sp). It is not like the trail. Kamden had Tap/Ballet that is way we waited until later. The kids got to bed about 9 so not to bad.
Tuesday I had kids all day and did dinner. This is my last week of dinner group. It was just not working with our schedule. Some of the dinners weren't coming until 6 or later and we were either gone or not eating until to late. So after 2 1/2 years I will have to go back to making dinner everyday after today. It is going to take some time to get back to making dinner everyday again.
Wednesday I hang out with Cole at school again today. Cole got to go swimming today for Scouts. He had such a good time. I hope he behaved himself. We got a bill from the public library saying Cole owes $70 plus on over due book and never returned. I am not so sure that is true. I am not sure how to dispute that one since they don't give you a receipt when you return your books. So we will be sent to collections if we don't pay within 30 days. I am so annoyed that the public library that has free book that were paid for by us get to collect money from us for returning them late. I think there is something really wrong with that. O.k. sorry I am just really annoyed and trying to figure out how to deal with this account.
Today I have spent most of the day trying to prepare my lesson for Sunday. It is on the plan of salvation. I waited to long this time to prepare. Usually I am pretty much done prepare and just fine tuning. So I hope it goes well on Sunday. It has been fun and such a learning experience to teach in Relief Society. I know I keep saying that but each month it is a new topic to get excited about and do some studying about. I have really enjoyed it.

Valentine's day!
Well, it has been a while. It seems like it is taking a well to get around and post. Mom said the site had changed. Did everyone else have to update to the new site?
Ryan is really glad there are only two more basketball practices and two more basketball games left for Cole's team. There always it one are two that are out of control. Anyway Cole is doing really well this year. He loves it. It is like night and day compared to last year. He is so much more aggressive and just much improved.
Ryan is also keeping pretty busy with work. We have had lot of rain and colder weather so it has slowed them down some. They have been able to work on some inside jobs and things to keep busy.
I don't know if I told you but I hit Ryan's work truck pulling out of the drive way a couple of weeks ago. So he took the truck in on Monday. His big truck had more damage to it than my trail blazer. What a hardy vehicle it is. We also finally have our DVD player in and working well. The kids are glad to have it back. With all the driving around we do and the time they spend in the car it seems to help them to not complain so much about all the time in the car.
Cole is sick again today. He woke up throwing up this morning. So he is home from school today. He was throwing up on Sunday and had to stay home from church on Sunday. I think all the kids have had at least 3 or 4 different things and they have been off and on again sick more on than off. Carter is still sick with something I think a cold. He has the green nose and cough. I can't seem to get them all well. I have sat through one whole Sunday in the last 6 -7 weeks. Ryan and I have been trading off. He goes to sacrament and I go to Relief Society. It will be nice when summer is here.
Cole had his first Blue and Gold Banquet. Ryan took him Kamden and Carter were sick that night. Ryan said it was good and he had fun. He now has 4 kids in his scout group. He is so excited. All his other friends are in the older group and he was just going to have one boy that he isn't really friends with in there with him but two other kids moved in so that has been nice for him. They made bracelets for there moms yesterday. It was a really nice bracelet. I think he was really proud of himself.
So Cole is signed up for baseball that will start in March. It seems to go from one sport to the next. Cole's favorite sport is what ever one he is playing at the time.
Cole and I had a good time yesterday at school they had a valentine's party all day yesterday it was a short day but they did lots of fun things. There teacher order pizza for all the kids for lunch. I thought that was really nice of her.
Tuesday Cole's school had a fund raiser night. They had all the teachers work at McDonald's and if you bought any food that night 15% went back to the school. So we went in for ice cream. It was so busy I will be interested to see how much they made.
Kamden has been busy getting ready for her tap/ballet competition. Well maybe I should say I have been busy too. I made there boot covers, belts, pockets for the horses, check off list, phone list, and trying to find jeans and a Washington state flag. So anyway we are busy with that. Her competition is in Cour De lane(how ever you spell it) on March 3. I will be glad when it is over.
I just found out yesterday Kamden is getting picked on at preschool. She has also learned some new naughty words from a boy at preschool that she is using there too. I didn't find out from the teacher it was one of the other mom's. I was a little upset the teacher didn't tell me so I could talk with her. Here I thought oh she is such an angle at preschool. It is just at home she is rowdy. Anyway I need to call her and find out what is going on.
Carter is doing o.k. like I said he has been really sick this winter. He still isn't really talking. He is repeating some words more. Still not really clear but repeating words a little more. He will go potty for me in the morning before his bath. I think he might be ready? I just can't decide if I am or not. He is in to everything. He is more into things than my other two where. We really have to watch him. He is also thinking it is funny to hit people. That has been fun to trying and stop. We have tried slapping his had that really doesn't work. He thinks that is a game and hits you back. So we have tried the naughty spot and he thinks that is fun. He will set there and smile and talk to you and laugh. So if anyone has suggestions I am totally open.
We found out we can't fix our laptop. So we are going to have to buy a new computer if we want to print. We have bought two laptops in 4 years that don't print anymore and the one doesn't work at all. So I think we are done with laptops and going to go back to a computer. I am tired of buying new ones and spending all that money on them. It probably will not be for a while. So hopefully one of these days I can get over to mom's and upload some pictures.
We had a nice Valentine's day. I spent the day at Cole's school and got flowers and a card from Ryan and we took the kids out for dinner. IHOP has free dinner for the kids everyday so we went there. Only you pay for the drinks how silly is that. They are more expensive than the dinner. I think we saved $10 on the dinner for the 3 of them. I think Apple's before 6 is still cheaper. We love Applebee's.
Love you guys

Kamden knows who Joseph Smith is!!!!
O.k. I keep wondering when everyone else is going to update there blog and no one is. So I guess I will. We keep saying we are going to get our computer fixed but we still haven't. I know it is so much more fun to see pictures than to read what we are up too.
I have to tell another cute story. We had a family home evening about what a testimony is. So a few days later I asked Kamden if she knew what one was and she said yes. I believe in Heavenly Father and Jesus. Also I believe in Joseph Smith. I asked her who is he. She could tell me who he was and that he asked H.F. and Jesus which church to join and they told him none and that he didn't join any of them. It was so cute. I always think she is never listening. So it is nice to know she hears something.
Same old same old for us. All last week I was working on my lesson for church. It was on gaining a testimony. I really enjoyed studying for it, well I enjoy studying for all of them. My testimony has really grown in the last couple of months with the help of my Heavenly Father and the holy ghost and the opportunity I have been give to teach. O.k.
Cole and Kamden both were throwing up last Thursday night but by Friday were fine. I still kept them home from school. Last Sunday Carter had been sick and throwing up. I am assuming that is where the other kids got it.
Yesterday the kids had a primary activity day they had a good time. They had the kids to valentines for the missionaries and they got to frost valentine cookies and they got to make heart monsters.
Today we went and had our taxes done. I always love having them done. It is like a savings pot. We aren't very good at saving so it works well for us. It is all going to medical this year. It will be nice to have it all paid off though.
O.k. so I have updated my blogg now you girls need to update yours. I finally heard from Kendall. So I hope to hear from the rest of you.
