Valentines Day has come and gone. Darron surprised me with some very beautiful earings. Each one is a 2 1/2 carot pink sapphire set in Platinum. I was very excited. Now I have my ring I got for our 25th and the earings to match. I know I'm spoiled...I'm not denying it.
Little baby Jackson is kicking Jacque a lot..can't wait to see him. She and Tom are busy with school, work and their house fixing.
Andy is in Lubbock living with his friend Trevor. He comes home to visit for three weeks next Tuesday. He is on leave from the National Guard until April 5th. He then reports once a month to his Unit in San Antonio. In January he will be deploying with an SF Unit in Miami to Afganistan for 6 months.
Ben is still playing basketball and starting to get ready for track. He signed his National Letter of Intent (NLI) the first part of the month promising to go to BYU for track. He was only offered books with a promise to up it if he jumps higher. It is just an honor to sign. It is exciting.
I will be going to Utah sometime around when the baby is born and then again in July for the Vegas trip and probably stay awhile after that too. We still don't know when we could possibly move...we will just wait and see. It could be before Christmas or awhile longer than that since the problems with the economy. We'll be good either way.
Those of us that can will probably drive down to Idaho from Salt Lake this summer to see all our family. I'm hoping Darron will be able to get away from work long enough.
We feel very blessed. Love to all.

Well, Ben signed his National Letter of Intent to go to BYU. He plans to go there to High jump. So, if all goes well that is where he will be. It is pretty exciting. He can't look anywhere else now. He has promised to go there.

Summer 2007

We all had a great time this summer. The only bad part was that Jacque and Andy didn't get to see each other. I know they would have loved to spend some time togehter also. Ben and Jaque and Andy and Ben had a great time together. It was fun to watch them having so much fun. Our summer vacation started in Idaho. We spent two weeks with both sides of the family and it was great. My mom got sick and I got there a week earlier than Darron and Ben. She is doing preety good now and I hope it stays that way. We went to Mertyle beach nest where we spent a few days with Andy. It was a very fun trip. The guys went to the Nascar Speedway where they got to drive cars(I stayed on the beach). We went to the Medeival Times dinner and show....That was really fun. The Ripley Aquarium was very cool. We had a lot of fun at a place called Magic Quest....ther you were in a virtual fantasy game, seaching for clues ect. It was really cool. We spent alot of time on the beach swimming and boogy boarding. The boys love to do tht and so does Jacque. we really missed her. When we got back home from that trip Ben left for Track Camp at BYU and I left a few days later to Salt Lake to greet Jacque when she got home from Guatamala. Jacque and I went to see Ben at camp and watch him jump. We picked Ben up on the last day of camp and he got to spent almost two days with Jacque and our friends. It was alot of fun!! Ben and I came home and now he is in California at the National Jr. Olympics Track and Field Championships. He competes in the High Jump there on July 29th. Hope everyone is haveing as great a summer as we have.
