A Little UpDate

It's been awhile since I did an update on my family, so I thought while I wait for dinnter to finish cooking I'd do a quick one.

Makiya - she is doing great in middle school. She has stayed on the High Honor Roll so far this year and this month (March) she has been named Student of the Month. Talk about a proud mommy moment! In church she attends Young Women's (girls group for 12-18 yo's). They have had a lot of fun activities since she turned 12 in October. They've had a couple of temple trips (LDS Temples/Salt Lake and Manti) and they have had a lot of physical fitness type things. Tonight they are going swimming. She has also started tending for other people and loves it.

Stacia - She loves school. She would rather be there than home! She loves to read too. She'll get 10 books from the Bookmobile and have them all read in the 2 weeks between when it comes. She is anxious for better weather so she can get her bike working and head out on her grand adventures again.

Shayla - She also loves school. She is also my best helper with Joshua. She is enjoying her kitten that she got for Christmas.

Joshua - He is growing up so fast. He actually picked up a piece of wood today and said, "triangle, " and it was! He really had a vocabulary now and says things so clearly (as long as you know he can't say his "L" sound in most words).

Chuck - He is getting anxious to harvest casting again. He's having a big new harvester built for our harvest at the end of the month. He is hoping it will cut down on the amount of hand screening we have to do to get the castings ready to sell. He also got a new calling in church, he is now the executive secretary to the Bishop.

Me - I'm still doing my data entry job. I keep busy with my scrapbooking and trying to keep up with a busy family.

Our whole family has been taking time most nights reading the Book of Mormon together. We were told about an online challenge to read the Book of Mormon in 97 days in honor of President Hinckley, who died the end of January. (He was 97 years old).

We are all looking forward to spring. It's been a very snowy winter. Two Sundays ago I took Chuck to an early morning meeting and when I got home I didn't go fast enough through the muddy part of our driveway and got stuck big time! My neighbor had to come over and pull me out. Things are finally starting to dry out, which is nice! I might even get to clean the laundry room floor (which is where the most used outside door is located) and have it stay clean for a day. Right now, it's useless to even clean the floor in there.

So, there is a little update. You can check out our worms at http://rottenapplewormfarm.com We are taking preorders for castings and we do ship throughout the US.
