The Old people try to BLOG?

So we are going to try the Blogging..... I hear you Laughing Loudly!
The plan is to add info every week to keep ya' all posted as to the events of our lives. You already know and experience how busy busy busy we all are, why does it seem like Tom is busier yet? Is it because he LOOKS busy; always talking to his handsfree phone? (hum opening bars of Imaginary Lover?)
Valentine's Day was lovely (!?) ....75 inches of snow and 250 mph winds at our house the night before. NO REALLY! Tom was out driving in it... We have taken a stand to oppose the blatant pagen commercialism of the holiday (meaning, yup, you guessed it, no roses this year! He will survive!)
So Let's just start with the right now....he is on the phone and computer, oh you knew that...... Church was interesting, two high council speakers for the price of one.
We had hoped to see Katy before she returned to Vegas to her mama. She has up here been visiting her daddy and other grama, and today was the only day they could squeeze out some time for us....but alas her dad kept her. Good for Jason, bad for us! In an effort to relieve our deep disappointment, Scott and Cole and KK discussed coming to play with us. In the end they stood us up too! Too much driving and they have a friend arriving from out of state tonight. (I have to wonder when pilot boy will fly up here and stop the driving nonsense?)
HOORAY for Tom, Hooray for Landmark!
This week Tom is going to go to Denver to present his 'Mock' to be candidated as Landmark Seminar Leader. After several months of vigorous preparing ( and rigorous). This is it guys! Really! We go Fri Feb 22 am, returning Sun early in the am. Then zoom home, church, and Tom goes to Twin to do Hearings. This at the end of a full week, including apprenticing The Commitment Seminar! That is on Wednesday evenings in SLC! Then.....
The plan for the next weekend is to finish framing Lor's basement. Let's really make that happen, cause that new baby is coming very soon (on "Me first" Olivia says). That seems like a good long while unless you need your basement finished for the older girls bedrooms, family room, and bathroom so baby can have her room. Completing a pregnancy is a complex thing, baby is either almost here, or never coming, yes moms? Anyway, anybody want to play bob the builder with Tom?
March 1 is Hallie baptism, so off to Ephraim. Then Mar 14th is Olivia's Birthday (she's pi! get it.....3.14) Dustin and Hannah are going on a cruise that day. We were going to go as well, but it is looking like we will not get to have that trip. 3 day cruise to Baja with 3 other couples, Hannah and Dustin. The cruise lines will not let women in their third trimester cruise, so Hannah gets a great date with Dad! Still trying to get that arranged though!

I am honestly really happy you are blogging. I enjoyed that update on your lives very much...I never seem to know what's going on with you. Please keep the updates coming! Blogs seem to be a good way to keep in touch for REALS, too. As in, knowing what's going on encourages phone calls, emails, etc. I'm thinking this will be good. We should get all in our family to blog. Kudos to Jaime and Nicole for starting, too.
