Dear Family
Members,
Its
two days from Lauren’s fifteenth birthday.
She has been relentless in her wanting to talk about, discuss and begin
the process of finding, buying or stealing her a car. She is going to the Region dance tonight and
had a little birthday party last night, including eight girls and three
boys. She has a pretty good group of
friends, but the girls outnumber the boys every time they get together. Why wasn’t it ever that way when I was their
age? Lauren has been keeping busy with
dance company at the school, clogging on Thursday nights, taking voice and
piano lessons and has just recently started practicing with the high-school
track team. Since she is in 9th
grade she is eligible for high-school sports and we think the high-school might
have a better program than the Junior High.
She has registered for EFY at
Landon
has gone to St. George with one of his good friends for the President’s Day
weekend. While he was gone, we found an
interesting piece of paper in the office garbage can labeled “Landon’s Top Ten
List” which then had in Landon’s hand writing, the names of ten young
ladies. We called him in St. George to
find out what this list was, and it was no surprise to find that it was exactly
what we thought, a list of his “babes” prioritized from top to bottom. A couple weeks ago he went to the Sweethearts
Dance (girl’s choice) with a cute young lady that is one-grade, but two years
older than him and yesterday he invited a young lady to the Junior Prom which
is about three weeks away. Of course, it
isn’t a simple phone call any more, he filled her school locker with helium
filled balloons and the invitation was inside one of the balloons. Landon has been up snow-boarding a few times
at the Canyons and has been working for Heather at Heatizon a few days each
week. Landon had another chance to
travel to
Jimmy
bought a new Subaru WRX (this is the sporty high-performance) a couple months
ago. I think I have Grandma and Grandpa
to blame for their interest in Subaru. I
don’t know where I went wrong, but I can’t believe that my children are
actually buying foreign junk heaps. By
the way, the 1992 Jimmy is for sale if anyone’s interested. Jimmy is one semester away form graduating in
Biomedical Engineering and is considering his options. He has three or four graduate schools that he
is looking into, Case Western in
Heather
continues to struggle with her Fibromyalgia, but doesn’t say much or complain,
but it does take its toll on her. She
has been working very long hours at Heatizon.
They had their national account manager leave, and this put a lot of his
workload back on Heather. There have
been a lot of good things going on at Heatizon that have also been keeping
Heather busy. She found a tenant for the
final suite in the building they just bought, so they have income to help make
payments on the new building. Heather
has a really good business sense and has really contributed to the success of
Heatizon. They just passed their 10 year
mark in July of this last year and have had eight out of ten years where they
made a profit. She still serves as the
Primary Chorister and of course the kids love all the cute and creative ways
that she teaches music and involves the kids.
She is going on another mother’s trip this year. The ladies are going to
There
is nothing new or exciting to tell about myself. Same old, same old.
Love,
Scott
