Quadaline

 Michael was invited to go to the Marshall Islands to see what the military does there.  He was offered a job and we were considering it for awhile.  It was very tempting after we saw the pictures.  I think it would be an amazing place to live for a few years.  All the old Japanese buildings were very interesting to see and Michael got to see a lot of sea life.  It was so beautiful to see empty beaches stretching out so far.  It was so beautiful!  Nobody drives cars there.  There is no point because the island isn't big enough.  Some of the people who work there commute by boat to get to the base.  Michael said he saw undisturbed beaches and lots of sting rays, nurse sharks, and went snorkeling to the sunken WWII ships.  For gym class the kids all went snorkeling.

February Happenings

Jessa got to still be with her team even though she didn't get to play.  It wasn't the same, but it was still something and glad she got to hang out with her friends still. They had a good season.  Sad that we didn't get to see Jessa play at all.  Hopefully she can come back strong next season.

 

Lucas got his first Valentine from Hope our neighbor.  He said that they have been in love for 3 years!!  That's a long time for someone who is only 7 years old.  They kept giving each other valentines through out the day.  It was the cutest.  She broke up with him a few months later because she likes someone else.  Lucas was heart broken.  Poor guy!

I had to document the second time that I got to go to Michael with him to work.  I guess this is proof that he actually does some work!  And apparently he's pretty good at it.

Jayla is always doing parties and she set up a Galantines Dinner for her friends.  She did a good job decorating.  She is good to take that on and I have lots of memories of her doing this for her siblings. 

Had to document how Kellan wanted a perm so bad and for a few months before his hair was long enough to perm he would use my hot rollers.  This one is for his posterity. LOL

Quinton and Lucas at the Stake primary activity. It was so cute with a Candy 

Land theme

I was wondering where all my cups had gone to.  We never had enough until I went down to Jessa's room.  I should have known.

Jessa got her drivers license only to get in a pretty bad wreck 3 months later.  She is ok, but its going to be costly for us for the next 3 years.  Hoping none of our other kids get in a wreck.
