just keep hangin on..

So as many of you have heard Dan is in the Hospital due to going off his meds and thinking bad thoughts and actions. He Went in on friday and is still there. have no word as to when he will be getting out. But my family thanks all of you who have written or called and kept us in your prayers. it has helped us more than you know. We love you all
the three older boys went on a scout trip last weekend and apparantly it got to -20. They thought they were going to freeze to death. Poor Braxton he will never want to go on another camp out again. They were all home by 7:30 sat morning when they weren't supposed to be home till noon. Kinda funny. Then on Sunday Braxton got ordained. it was a neat experience. sadly the bishop had to do it since Dan couldn't be there but we didn't want to wait he needed to recieve this and the blessing that came along with it.
Nikieshia had another dance competition last weekend and they placed first again in their jazz and lyrical. pretty cool. They now are having a professional come in and teach them a new hip hop dance and she is pretty excited for that. and the fact that she can go down in her splits now. she has been working on that for a while and finally made it. yea kieshia!

first place

Nikieshia had her first dance competition last weekend and they took first in jazz and first in lyrical in their division. Dan and I went and watched friday night and it was amazing some of the moves those girls can do. It was alot of fun to watch. They did soooo good. I am so proud of her. I took pictures with my phone but couldn't figure out how to zoom in so you can't tell which one she is so I won't post them.
Sadly my team lost the superbowl but I still love the colts, they are my team. and unfortunatly Tristen and Carri rubbed my face in the loss and on top of all that Alex abandoned me and joined the other team. what a sad day.
Braxton had a good b-day or so he says which is good. He had friends over for the superbowl so they all had fun routing for their team.(which lost)
hope you all have a wonderful Valentines and spend it with the ones you love

chugging along

so I can't say alot has happened since the las post. Nikieshia has moved on into the competition phase of her dance and I think once they get the music problems down they will do great. As many of you know Superbowl is a big deal at my house since football is one of the main past times of my kids, so usually we all have different teams we route for and have a big rival at our house. This year not so much. all of us but Tristen are voting for the same team. The Colts of course ( that is so my team) Sadly I think i might miss the rubbing in the face of how bad the other persons team is doing. we shall see.
Braxton's 12th b-day is Sat. where has the time gone? He is now going to be old enough for Mutual and passing of the sacrament. he isn't really looking forward to that however but it is an exciting time for him.
Work has been a bit stressful for some reason this year but I have a good staff and we are all muddling through it. Makes a big difference when you can share the harder times with others you work with. However middle management is a bit difficult alot of the time I am learning.
So Happy valentines to you all hope you all have someone to spend the day with and have a good one.
