February came and went...

Jun Yoshikawa came over for a weekend to visit! He's been going to college at Western this past semester studying English and has had a wonderful time. I love that kid! It's hard to believe it's been over 2 1/2 years since he stayed with us as an exchange student. We had lots of fun with him when he arrived. We just bummed around and also looked for a "Tickle me Elmo" for his Mom. They sell for $40 here, but in Japan they sell for over $140!!!! So after shopping, I made a yummy steak dinner. Jun spent the night and then he caught the ferry the next morning. It was great to see him again and we hope he'll visit us again soon!

Kendal attended the Stake Laurel/Priest Prom this last weekend with David Fry. His brother and cousin invited two of Kendal's friends as well, so they all went together as a group. The girls got ready at the Mitchell's house and the boys cooked the girls a fancy dinner and got ready at our house. Then they headed to Silverdale for the dance. Over 150 kids danced the night away and Kendal said it was lots of fun dancing with her friends and seeing Kelsey. Oh, and getting dressed up like a princess was fun too!



My sister Marie came over yesterday and spent the night last night! She was visiting from Ohio and I have to say, being with her was wonderful and long over due!! Kaleb and Makayla have gotten so tall and grown up and they are beautiful children. Family is so important to me and having this time together with Marie I will cherish forever!!!

Jamie, Marie and I had fun at the Olive Garden today and ate waaaaaaaay too much! But ooh was it good and the company was even better!!! I LOVE my sisters!
