Hello, Hello, Hello!! We really are alive and well. Can I just say that our kids keep us so busy.
Yesterday, Shauna and the three oldest girls went over to Driggs, Idaho for a ward youth winter escape. They had snowmobiles and sleds and tubes, and a perfect day, as far as the weather. Between the young women and young men, they had about 35-40 show up. They left yesterday morning about 9am and spent all day getting white washed and having a great time. At church there were a lot of kids and leaders that were saying how sore they were. A family in our ward was willing to let the youth use there cabin/house, which was furnished with pool table and games. When they needed to get warm, they could go in the house, watch movies, eat, play pool or do what ever, they didn't get back until around 9pm. That evening they stopped at Green canyon hot springs to go swimming. I took Trey and Abby up around 4:30pm, the youth and leaders arrived around 5:30pm. When Shauna and the kids got home they went right to bed, it had been a very busy day.

Shauna has bought herself, me, Savannah and Olivia Worlds Gym memberships. This summer she is running in the Dam Marathon here in Rexburg. Jenny (Gary's wife) will also be running with Shauna, they both seem excited. Shauna has taken her training quite serious, her and the girls have been really good about going to the gym to work out, they really like it, they say it is really nice in there, and they have never had to wait to use the equipment. I'm hoping that my back will quit giving me problems, WHEN i get into better shape.
