Candys sent us some pics of Brandon. The top one is Brandon taking a bath with his "soap paints" that we gave him for Christmas. You can kind of see drawings on his face and arm

The other pic is of Brandon and his kitty taking a bath--I've never seen a cat in the bathtub.

Brandon made Uncle Austin a Birthday Bear for Austin's 15th. It was so cute--we were singing Happy Birthday from the birthday bear for days.

Ruehl: Notice the tie???

A few weeks later he got his drivers permit---wow, what happened to the little boy.

Conner had his music program for school and had to dress up like a cowboy. Isn't he cute!

My Sweet hubby and boys decorated my car on Valentines day. I came out of work to find hearts, balloons and streamers all over---way more than in the pictures. I had to take them off to drive home and made them redo some of it so I could get a picture. My homemade cheesecake and butterscotch fudge didn't come close to topping this.

The boys have been participating in a bowling league. They have good days and bad. Overall they are learning and having fun--especially on the good days. Conner's Average: 72; Porter's Average: 100; Mason's Average: 115ish.

It has been a while so I thought I would let everyone know we are still alive and kicking. I have not been good at remembering my camera lately so no new pics. They boys have been busy with basketball. Hopefully I can get some pics this week to show everyone. Austin has been playing on the Freshman BAsketball team, broken pinky and all (he got his finger stepped on during a seminary game and broke the last joint). He has done well and loves playing. Mason has been playing for the 7th grade middle school team and is now on a traveling team for basketball. He loves shooting 3 pointers and does quite well. Porter & Conner are playing on a team with the YMCA program. Only 3 more weeks and we will be done with basketball--then what will we do--oh yeah, baseball starts in March.
WE haven't had much snow since Christmas--mostly gone now. THe boys have been bummed as sledding is not an option. But it has been cold--the fog finally cleared, thank goodness.
We are looking forward to some warmer weather.
I had a nice visit with friends and family in Texas & California as I flew to Texas to move my mom to Baker and we took a side trip to Cali to suprise family--It was a success--you should have seen their faces.
Our main computer got a virus and is in the shop so pardon my typing--I hate laptops.
Check back soon for pics--if my computer gets fixed soon.

Love you all--Clines

Porter has earned his Arrow of LIght for cub scouts--the highest rank achievable by cubs. He is very excited to move on to bigger & better things in 11 year old scouts.
Only 2 more years of cub scouts :)
I am the new primary president in our ward--the old cub committe chair. Our new cubmaster couldn't be there so I had to fill in. Hopefully next month I can be on the side lines and enjoy the last 2 years of cubs.
