An Update with Anne

Ok just a little up-date from Anne. I haven't written anything for awhile and I am the most interesting in the family.
~If you didn't know I have a great job working a Costa Vida (love the food!)
~ Dad just got my car (Kade Jr.) fixed so all I have to do now is learn how to drive it, its a stick.
~I'm almost done with high school only 8 1/2 weeks left!!!
~I finally got a cell phone as a graduation present. Its pink and so cute.
~During spring break mom made me clean my room and was really proud of me because I sent 11 pairs of shoes to the D.I., until I told her I still had 27 left.
~I'm competing in a HOSA competition later this week in Medical Reading and Sports Medicine, so now I can tape ankles, arches, thumbs, and elbows.
~But the most exciting thing in my life right now is I got a ticket to go to Stephenie Meyer's booking signing for The Host in May!!! She wrote the Twilight series which I'm obsessed with so I can't wait to meet her.
~Mom and I just went to the YW General Conference in Salt Lake. We got to sit really really close to the front and the door where the prophet walked out. It was cool.
~I don't have a boyfriend and have never really been on a real date but I'm not complaining because who needs boys when you have books and shoes?
~I can't beat Taylor and Zack at Star Wars Battle Front but I can still whoop them at Snowboarding and Need for Speed.
~My favorite song right now is Picture to Burn by Taylor Swift, but it changes weekly.

Well thats all I can think of right now. Hope it wasn't too boring.

SPRING BREAK!!

Spring Break Week began with our trip to Salt Lake. On Wednesday,
Bryan, Manja, Anne and Taylor went to the Clark Planetarium to see the movie, The Human Body. It was VERY interesting. Then we all went to lunch at Olive Garden, always
a favorite!! Then we took the bikes and went out to the Jordan River Parkway.
It was a beautiful day and the parkway is SOOOO nice. We had a great ride.
And we finally remembered to take a picture as we were loading up
the bikes after our ride.
Now it's back to real life!!

Here's a look at the famous go-cart.
Taylor and his friends, Zack and Amy are working with Bryan
to fix up their go-cart. Bryan has helped them rebuild the engine and get
it running again. Zack and Taylor painted the cart on Saturday,
Fire Engine Red!!

Daniel and Hannah have a new car to get them to Ohio!!

Taylor has a new shirt - pretty spiffy and
Anne has a new dress and SHOES!!

Easter Dinner at Grandma and Grandpa's

Bruce Allen and Jenny join us for Easter Dinner.
They drove up from Happy Valley. We don't mind if
BYU people join our tables, we let Hannah into the family!

Ally is the last grandchild to discover "The Hat". This plastic bowler has
been in Grandma's toy closet since who knows when! Everybody
has worn it at one time or another. She even shares it with Uncle Bryan!

Grandma and Grandpa with Emma. Emma had a big day Sunday, she hardly slept at all and
so we couldn't coax many smiles out of her. She was tired and overwhelmed with
all the people who kept passing her around.
She needs to do just a little bit more growing to fit into her
Easter Dress!!

THEY DID IT!!!

THEY DID IT!!
Daniel found out on Tuesday
that he has been accepted to
Ohio's medical school.
Hannah was accepted to the dental
school last December, so off they
go to Columbus, Ohio - Fall 2008!!

CONGRATULATIONS
DANIEL AND HANNAH!!!
WE ARE SO PROUD!!!
