Parker- I was sick on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. We went to Pismo on Thursday and got back way late on Saturday night. We got to go to the La Purisima Concepcion Mission and visit. We got to do a lot of fun stuff at Pismo Beach. The mission was cool and fun and we got lots of pictures. I got some with a soldier and I got to ring the mission bell.

Conner- We went to Pismo Beach last week. On Friday we went swimming and played in the sand (Calissa and I). I was sick Tuesday-Saturday this last week. I made a fire station in my class. We made windows and doors.

Calissa- I had a fever for seven days. I was really sick. I missed over a week of school. I went back to school today. I love the tent that I got for Christmas. I watched a lot of tv.

Dad- We had lots of fun at Pismo Beach. The Melodrama was funny. I've been teaching Conner's primary class.

Mom- I'm tired of sick kids! I've been couped up in the house for almost 2 weeks and it was nice to get away for a few days. I got to finally send everyone to school today (even though they are all coughing) and got to run errands. I'm afraid I'm coming down with it now.

Calissa - I've been sick for 6 days, so I've seen a lot of TV shows. That's about all I've done.

Parker- I had baseball tryouts on Saturday. I fielded all the balls but didn't get a hit. I saw some friends from school and from past teams. I started piano lessons again I had the Blue and Gold dinner and made a Hawaii cake and something from clay.

Conner- I had 3 parties this week- an ice cream party for Primary and 2 birthday parties- for Cody and Jack. Parker and I are saving to buy a new game for our Nintendo DS- Madden '07.

Mom- I've been home hanging out with Calissa for several days. We're going to Pismo Beach this weekend- we can't have anyone else get sick.

Dad- It's been very busy at work lately, I spent most of Saturday at baseball tryouts I had a finger infection, but it's getting better.

Conner - We went to Chuck E Cheese today.  I'm going to go to Jack's bowling party on Friday and Cody's laser tag party on Saturday.  I had tryouts for baseball last Saturday.  I hit, run, and fielded the ball.  I'm excited about baseball.

Parker - I had a birthday party to go to today for Andrew Willis.  It was really fun.  I got 46 tickets and got a bouncy ball and 2 sticky hands.  I had pizza twice today.  We put together the baseball game on Saturday.  It's fun!

Calissa - I like my petshop.  Swinger and I play with it a lot.  Naomi came over on Friday.  It was very cold, but we still played outside.  My feet were freezing.  Swinger and I rock together on the rocking chair.

Dad - I was at tryouts most of the day on Saturday.  I'll be coaching again this year.  We won our basketball game on Thursday.  I have an infected finger.  I'm going to be teaching Conner's primary class for a few weeks.

Mom - It's been very, very cold at night and in the mornings!  We've been doing a lot of planning for YW's this year.  I've been reading a lot.  We finally got all the Christmas things put away.

Calissa - I got a pet shop for Christmas and I like it and my pets.  I also got a tent for Christmas.  I like the movie "Cars," and "Junior Giant."

Mom - Christmas has come and gone.  It was a busy time.  I made Santa pillows and ornaments for the Young Women. I'm glad the holidays are over.  Now we need life to slow down a little bit.

Dad - We had a fun time on vacation, but it was hard to go back to Seminary and work.  We started our Basketball up again.  Baseball tryouts (for the boys) are coming up.

Parker - We had a fun time on our vacation.  We went sledding and Grandma and Grandpa Burr's house.  I got a Nintendo DS for Christmas and a bunch of games, Calvin & Hobbes books, and lost of books, clothes, and more.  It's nice to be back at school.  I got all 4's on my public speaking this week.

Conner - I got a Nintendo DS for Christmas and games to go with it.  I didn't want to go back to school when we came back.
