1. Matt had some disappointing news last week, he was supposed to be done with the crutches, but got told he has 4 more weeks at PT last week... bummer... he is really learning some patience through this ordeal! It has been a very LONG 6 weeks for him!
2. We went on a fun "braces weekend" trip to Colorado last weekend. Almost 1300 miles round trip! Ugh! We did A LOT of driving, but it was worth it! We had a great time and really enjoyed being with the family and as usual, TOTALLY appreciate Mark and Cosi for all they are doing for us and our teeth!! :) Dave and Matt get their braces off next trip! (Around May/June) YEA!! The girls got to be in the St. Patrick's Day parade in Ft. Collins on a float for "Dr. Crane" ~ very fun!
3. I got a job!! After 3 months of applying to over 40 jobs and NO LUCK- I got called from Summerlin Hospital and got hired to work Full time as an RN at the Women's Center. I start March 30th and I am nervous... it will be a BIG change for our family and we are just hoping that we can handle it!! But we know it's a blessing~ I am trying to look at it that way!!
4. Lindsey's getting good at the violin- she played I know that my Redeemer lives and did a GREAT JOB in the YM/YW talent show last week
Matt and his friends (Scott, Mitch, Riley and Kendall) formed a band and played "Day Tripper" by the Beatles, Matt was on the guitar and did pretty dang good! It was fun!

5. Jog-a-thon- Katie and Ellie had the jogathon this week and both did a great job with 13 laps each. They were troopers~ quite the great little runners!
6. Matt is working his guts out in calculus - he is gearing up for his 3 AP tests in May- AND...... the BIG news, he got accepted to BYU Provo and Idaho! He is going to go to BYU Provo and he is really excited! I, (on the other hand) am in denial. I will miss this kid more than words can say!!!
OKAY~ I think that is about it for now- sorry to bore ya'all.... SOoooooo glad spring is here! It is AWESOME! :) TTFN!

I LOVE the pic of redwing!!! Seriously, Chad and I got a good laugh see you the peeps dressed up for St. Patty's day! That is great that you got a job! Great news about the kids! and Matt at BYU! awesome! We miss you guys, are you coming down to visit or camp in april?
What great news for your family! You've got a lot going on. I'm so happy you got a job at Summerlin Hospital! Becky Pili told me how it worked out and where you'll be in the hospital -- Can it get any better?!?
Hey Leslie,
Mike and I lived in Ft. Collins for 3 years and dream of going back everyday. Your pictures made me homesick. Love that place!
As always--You guys are the best! It's always a party when you're around! Congrats to Matt on BYU--WOOHOO! And, swell job on the run gals. You'll be the nurse everyone begs for (as always!) Thanks for driving so far, can't wait for the next one!
Wow- so much! Congratulations to you Les on your job! That really is so exciting, even though it'll be a rough transition. Good luck. Congratulations to Matt, I suggest he stay in Helaman Halls over the others (but that's just an opinion :) ) We get so sad when ever we see pics from braces weekend/family things. Only a few more months until we come out west! Love the St. Patty's day pics
Lots of congratulations are in order! Good luck starting the new job - I'll be eager to hear how it all goes!
I love the St. Patrick's Day pictures!!!
congrats to matt! byu is so much fun!
We wish we had kids in braces so we could have an excuse to go to Ft. Collins with ya'll. Congrats to all on your newest accomplishments. I assume Dave is slavin' away providing for the family - what can we say - dads/hubbies are the best.
I'd drive 1300 miles for a deal on braces!
Good luck with the new job. That's a big adjustment. I sure wish that I could have had a nurse like you at Mountain View. You'll be great.
Congrats on your job, Leslie! What a blessing! We're thrilled to hear about Matt's good news, too! That is awesome! I can't imagine, as a mother, what that must feel like...He's such a great boy, though - you've done a wonderful job!
Yay for Matt getting into to BYU. That is what Jordan wants to do to. He is just a sophomore but he is working hard so he can get into BYU one day. I will tell him about Matt. I teach 1st grade. I am excited for you about your job. That is great. You can stop at our house for bathroom breaks next year when you go up to visit Matt if you need to.
