2/1 to 2/6:
Candi and I went to Lowe's to look at windows for the living room on Friday. We ended up having a guy come to our house and give us a quote on the windows in the living room and the reading nook and the roof. He quoted 9700 for all without the reading nook windows. We decided those can wait. We weren't sure if we wanted to do it all or just the back roof where it has problems. We decided to bite the bullet and do the whole roof. It will drain a lot of our savings account but we'll manage.2/7 to 2/13:
Leila went skiing for class on Tuesday. Candi forgot to put her in the intermediate group instead of beginners so she didn't get to go down the hill by herself. She was bored. That's what happened with Mina so she put Jaxon in intermediate and he had fun but forgot with Leila. The roofers came Wed and Thurs and put the new roof on. It looks good. We've had to go around the house looking for nails on the ground. The new windows won't come for another few weeks. The kids had no school on Friday. Candi and I went to the Chinese Gourmet for lunch on our date. Saturday evening we went to the Stake Conference adult session. Was good. Elder Sitati of the Seventy from Kenya spoke. Candi took the 3 younger kids and Kage and Dray to Burger King after.2/14 to 2/20:
Sunday morning we went to Stake Conference. Tyrell's 2 friends Quinn and his adopted brother Alex (formerly Sasha) from the Ukraine spoke. They gave really good talks. Alex talked about how rough his childhood was. Parents divorced. Mother was drunk a lot and beat him, was neglected and had to find and make his own food. Got put in an orphanage. Poor kid. We were all crying. Then we was adopted when he was about 12 or 13 years old. He had prayed to get adopted by a nice family and God heard his prayer. I had Monday off for Presidents day. Took the 3 younger kids to New World market with me to buy Candi some gifts for her birthday. On Friday Candi and I went to Tucano's for her birthday. Then saw a movie. We had tres leches cake and gave her gifts around 7pm. Mina was babysitting for Jared. Candi is 41 and still as beautiful as ever. Saturday I took the metal detector in the backyard and found about 70 more roof nails. Then Jaxon did it again and found another 28 that I missed. I said I'd pay about $1.50 for each nail so I owe him some money.
2/21 to 2/29:
Mina went to a Jazz game with her friends on Tuesday. Friday Candi took me to the Cheesecake factory at Fashion Place mall. We walked around first. She had a gift card to use. She got a chicken dish and I got a mushroom burger. It was yummy. Candi kept eating my burger. We fed the missionaries on Saturday. Elders Zaugg and Deveraux. Sunday we went to Tama Petersen's farewell. He gave a good talk and mentioned how he got a testimony after Api came home from his mission. We ate at his house after. Monday was Leap year day.
