Devin continued to serve in the Monterey Branch in northern Phoenix and continues to love being a missionary. He somehow manages to stay happy despite the hard days. This picture he sent this month is one of my favorite missionary pictures because it just shows the reality of being a missionary on a bike in the desert:
We finally got our new garage doors installed and we love them!!
Seth and a couple of his guy friends bought 2 dozen roses, got dressed up, and spent Valentines Day night taking them around to all of the Laurels in our ward along with some of their other girl friends, and each of their moms. What handsome boys!!
I finished a second quilt - this is quickly becoming an addiction and whenever I have 30 minutes to spare, I go down to my quilting room and cut and sew. It's becoming my happy place. :)
Bryce found this plastic dinosaur lying around the house and decided to have some fun with it by having it "eat" the plant and telling all of us that he was training "Rex" to be a plant eater since "Dinosaurs are friends, not food"
The next day, we were all a little dismayed to find that Rex had a little relapse and just had to get a little dino meat:
Since then, we have found Rex getting too caught up in consumerism (eating money), getting his romantic side on by holding a flower in his jaws for his lady love, and even getting too caught up and tangled in his technology:
It's always fun to find out what Rex will be up to next. :)
Autumn has done well with physical therapy and her knee is doing so much better. She is still going to PT twice a week for massage and electroshock therapy on her knee as well as learning more exercises to strengthen both her knees and her hips, and that has helped a lot. She is back to dancing full time and also had her first dance convention and competition with her competition team. They danced beautifully together and won quite a few awards. Autumn was most thrilled when her teen team beat out the Senior (high school aged) team from her dance school in one of their dances. It was pretty exciting!
With their cute director ready to perform one of their contemporary dances
Teens and Seniors together for their jazz production number - Autumn's favorite!
Megan continues to do well at Utah State. She is so busy!! She got to teach the entire class that she TA's for when her professor was sick one day and she LOVED it - maybe being a professor is in her future? She is starting to hear back from the Grad schools that she applied to and is excited to hear from all of them so she can weigh her options and decide where she will be spending the next 2 years. So far she has heard from Baylor, where she was not only accepted, but offered a more than $20,000 scholarship, and University of Washington, where she is on the wait list. She should hear from the 4 other schools she applied to in the next couple of weeks, and then it will be decision time. :)
