Kelsey standing!

Family update

Well, we are officially parents of a teenage boy! Tony just turned 13 on Feb. 6th. We took him out to dinner at a restaurant of his choice, had cake for him, and got him a game for the Wii. The following day we cut his hair. He was not very happy with us but we told him when he gets straight "A's" at school, he can grow it as long as he wants to!

Garrick left today to go work in Wyoming. The plan is he will be gone until May(we will not see him at all until then), then he will come home for a week or two and then leave again until August. We will then make our move back to Utah and he will leave again. We have to sacrifice right now because we want to be debt free. We are tired of struggling financially and this is the only way to make it work with me staying home with our 5 kids. Your thoughts and prayers are appreciated for our family that we will look at the positive and strive for excellence in the months ahead.

I will post a pic of Kelsey standing all by herself as soon as I figure out how. She's such a cutie!!
