Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb, March, soon to be April 3rd. So I thought if I didn't think about it, it wouldn't come...Jadens time to leave that is. Here it is almost here. 2nd Missionary to go out and is it easier?? Umm NO! I know all to well how it feels to have my heart ripped out of me from previous experience. Motherhood..My GREATEST Blessing and a trial. So happy for his decision, don't get me wrong, but it still isn't easy saying goodbye for a couple of years. Totally believe in and trust the person I'm turning over my duty's to and know that the schooling that comes from Father-In-Heaven is something I can't even compare myself to, but still...Selfishness arises in me and dang it! I'm going to miss looking at the clock from 11 till midnight wondering if he'll be late again. Missing his all encompassing hugs that make me feel loved. Lunch dates once a week. His latest snowboarding experiences, all the girls I can never keep track of, His slow to anger, quick to remind me that I shouldn't be talking smack, His endless pit of a stomach, His sewing skills not to mention his tech skills! Of course I'm not the only one that's already missing him. He and Dakotah are such good friends. I did get very lucky because those two hardly ever ever fight. They compliment each other so much in everything they do. Ridge and Ke'Nia think he is the best snowboarder ever and brag him up whenever they get a chance and as for Ken....Ken and the boys are so very close. They always have been and once again I am so lucky to have never had to step in with any fighting ever! Just Mom gets to be the bad guy. Always the over the top worrier. Can't help it. I love these boys more than anything. Ridge and Ke'Nia have some great examples to look up to when it comes from the guys in our family. So next time I "catch up" on this blog it more than likely will be an ugly sight. But till then....Some awesome memories to hold on to.....

| Valentines fun hooked to a String! |
We love Valentines! So much fun the whole day long. Pink heart shaped pancakes and a webbed house filled with surprises on a string. Big boys got a Red Hot Bag with all the Hot stuff! (hot Cheetos, tamales, cologne and other stuff I can't seem to recall.
Just last week we took a little trip to Sun Valley Idaho and returned with 0 injury's! Thought we might stay in Twin Falls the first night just to do nothing and that we did.
Sun Valley was beautiful and all had fun. Not to cold either and a slow day on the mountain. Gotta love Mondays!!
Jaden's Temple! So we had the Brigham City temple scheduled for the 15th of Feb. As I am getting ready there comes a little knock on the bathroom door..."Mom" says Dakotah, "Ummm my Temple recommend expired" Hmmm ok so I try to stay CALM and we reschedule for the following Wednesday the 20th. All turned out well after all and as we came out it was snowing lightly. So appropriate for Jaden. But I forgot the pictures! So on our way home from Idaho we made a quick stop. It's a beautiful Temple!
