Quick update...

Spencer's mission papers

Well, it has been a week since my last post, the most fun news is that Spencer's mission papers are done, and have been mailed! I hear that it is only taking 2 weeks for others to get their calls, and we will be impatiently waiting for his letter! Spencer is predicting that he will go to Arizona...time will tell! Spencer is keeping very busy with a full time school schedule and working to pay for his school. Kylee has also had a productive week. At just 15 years old she has her first job! She has started working after school for a few hours each day at our dental office, learning how to manage the lab and assist the dentist! She will keep this job until she graduates high school;the schedule for a teenager is ideal. She will never have to work weekends or evenings. Good job Kylee!! I am of course in the car more often now driving to and from, but its worth it. Jensen is busy with school and working on a responsibility project, he has an egg he is carrying around with him 24/7, its his baby girl, and he has named her Paparika,(he was a big fan of Blues Clues when he was a little boy :) So far he is annoyed with this task and we don't know weather he will learn anything from the experience or not, but his baby egg has a nice place to stay in any event, and it is only a 5 day exercise. Dallin is on a break from sports at the time, and keeps busy with friends. We are having one of his friends stay with us for 3 days while their parents are in Mexico...he is a nice boy and a lot like Dallin, so I believe the weekend will go smoothly. As for Jeff and myself, we are constantly busy with the responsibilities of parenting and are always on a budget! I thought by this point in our lives we would have a little more flexibility with the funds, but it just seems to get worse. It's a worry but we have faith and know what we are working toward are righteous desires and that we will be blessed.
