Fantastic February Finishes and Fun

February went by way too Fast-but it was Fantastic, Fun, and Fatiguing.  Here are some "noteworthy" events from February....

Nathanael was able to start doing some Family history on his mission once a week for one hour.  He wrote to me specifically and told me that he had Found the parents of one of our ancestors that needed their temple work done.  He is Fantastic!  So grateful for him and his example.




At the beginning of the month, Lindsay and Clarissa had a Feis.  This one was put on by their Irish dance school.  Lindsay placed in 7 out of the 8 dances that she competed in and Felt really good about how she had done.  Lindsay is Fabulous!




Ethan and his soccer team Finished in First place in a soccer tournament in St. George.  He and Travis stayed in a condo with about half of the boys.  They had such a Fun time together!  The team really bonded and Faced some adversity with some of the other teams using Foul language and bullying tactics.  Thankfully, our boys are great young men who were able to overcome the Frustrating challenges and win!  Ethan is First-rate!




Clarissa also participated in the Winter Feis.  She was able to do very well and received Five medals.  Clarissa is Fantabulous!




Zachary is Flourishing.  I registered him to start kindergarten in the Fall.  Yes.  My baby is going to go to school.  For real.  He is learning and growing so Fast.  It is really Fun to have him in our Family.  He sure keeps us on our toes!  Zachary is definitely Fearless!




This February just Flew by but my "moment of joy" was when I received an e-mail from Lindsay's seminary teacher.  He told us how he had asked for experiences about the power of prayer and that she had shared one that touched everyone in the class.  He told us that we were raising a pretty amazing young lady.  This wonderful e-mail had come just after Ethan had shared a scripture with me a couple of nights before during his personal scripture study that I needed to hear.  It was also just after receiving an e-mail from Nat letting me know that he had found some family that we can do temple work for.  So when I finished reading the e-mail, I felt joy wash over me and gratitude for my children and their good examples for me.
