What another fun week! This Tuesday was our annual Pinewood Derby race- Josh's first. We had a fun time. Pizza and cookies for everyone at the race. The whole family went, and we had a great time watching the races and hanging out with friends. Josh ended up with first place in the Wolf division, so its on to districts in March.

The girls had young women's game night on Wednesday. Alli's favorite was the game "Apples to Apples." Thursday was piano; Steve took Matt and Alli. Shawna and I spent over an hour shopping at Walmart with my ASB president for high school events. On Friday, Shawna helped me after school get ready. We finally left around 5 and went straight to Steve's school. My ASB officers helped lead a middle school leadership retreat. I mostly got to sit back and enjoy as my officers did their thing. They did a great job. Steve and I got to hang out and supervise. Steve had stayed home with a sick Josh on Friday as well. Shawna hid in a classroom on a computer, so she didn't mind. We finally left about 8 pm. I spent Saturday in bed sick mostly, other than running the girls everywhere.

Shawna and Allison spent the morning at a young women's conference at the stake center from 9:30 to 2:30. Then at 4:00, Alli auditioned for our stake play "Beauty and the Beast." She did an amazing job, even though she refused to sing in front of me. Then, she went into town again for the "Rock Band" night at the church.

We are gearing up for a really crazy one next week. Steve leaves on Tuesday for his vice-principal conference in Vancouver, so I'm playing single mom this week. Of course it has to be a huge one at the high school, so I'm just hoping to survive all the chaos.

We miss you and love you all. Have a great week! :) Deb
