I know I have a ton of pictures but I copy and paste this to my diary so I want everything.
The past couple of weeks have been "unexpected." I will start from the most recent and work my way back. Last Thursday, February 16th, the neighbor boy across the street, 5 year old twin Luke Durst, fell out of his bonus room window above the garage and landed on the concrete below. He was rushed away in an ambulance and air lifted to Spokane, WA. He has since been in the ICU. From what we understand the first night they were told he wouldn't live. But from prayers and the priesthood he is slowly improving. It may be awhile, at least 2 weeks before they know anything further but for the moment he is alive. For Valentines, we celebrated on Wednesday due to Eric schedule, we took the kids to Chuck E Cheese. Eric and I have found that instead of struggling to find a gift for each other for valentines we would rather take that money and spend it on a family activity. The pictures are Ben's tokens that he used so he could have pictures of his family members. It is cute. I have a lot of pics of Em at Chuck E Cheese because I was with Em and Eric was with the boys and I had the camera. At one point Ben wanted to take Em into the play place and so he had to pick her up to get her in the tubes above.He was so helpful it was cute. Then Emily felt she was hungry and thirsty so like a big girl, not a one year old, she walks to the table and picks up a piece of pizza and drinks her drinks. She amazes me. Then The picture of the table is a request so that is why it is on this page.
Then Eric surprised me and said lets go on a trip, and I said lets go to SLC and Elko so we did. We got to see family and it was a great trip. While we were in Elko Emily was able to attend a dance class and she was so cute!
For school Ben had to do a 100 day project. Dad and Ben decided to make a count out a 100 screws and nails and put them on a board. Then he came home with a crown, banner, and certificate. He said he had a lot of fun. I love this school. Well I think that is all of our excitement.
