Hey guys, thanks for the syrup info. that helped, so, passing through aye? oh well just make sure ya have a good time and tell Randy, from me, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
Sorry to be brief but I am kind of in a little hurry but I will tell you more when I reply to your other emails, and I will include little replies to everyon else's additions down below,
we are traveling for Randy's bday, (which is tomorrow) and it's been really nice weather.  He's pretty excited for his bday - but I don't think it's because of turning 18, I think it's just a bday.  He wants to be sure we're going to wake him up and stuff.  lol   Sometimes and in someways he is such a kid. (only sometimes?, right ahuh.[JK]) We're going to have a cake and ice cream party on Sunday so Sherie and Keith can come.  Did we mention that they are buying a house? (yes)  It's kind of cute...smallish, but great for their size. (sounds nice)  Sherie even mentioned that they are now thinking of getting married...shocker, huh??  lol (yea, I think that would be a good idea, and to quote president Woodruff, "a wonderfull institution, I highly recomend it!" quoting him because I don't have any real experiance of my own in that regard, BUT I personaly think it would make a lot of things easier for them and I would love it if they would work towards the temple but thats likely a long shot/wishfull thinking, so but what ever they want to do, not my place to try to tell them what they should do, best wishes regardless)  It would be nice.  I guess they are thinking of a medival style...sorry, can't spell today.  I guess she's thinking of having me make the dress.  sigh.
Anyway - Kes is doing great, still teething, so some days she's a little grouchy.  I need to send you a picture of the ones we gave Sherie for Christmas.
I am looking forward to this years course of study - since it's the Book of Mormon.  I still need to finish reading the New Testament though...I'm still in Romans.  It's a little slow going when I'm teaching Sunbeams and study that instead of keeping up with the Sunday school reading...lol
Well...take care and keep up the great work.  It was so good to see you on Christmas, and your letter the week of was great.  I still can't believe that package came so late and I'm going to ask my co-worker what was up with that.  If that's how they're going to ship, we'll need to do it overnight every time.
Love you....remember that the church is true and that the Savior loves you very much...as do we.
