Wow, what is that white stuff in the photo? We haven't seen it for a week and forgot the name oh SNOW! I remember now....we are suffering in Kauai HI on spring break without that white stuff, I know someone has to be on vacation. I don't quite understand while the rest of you aren't here but I am glad you're not! Well I do miss Booboo and Carson and Stone Rusty and Van would make this trip a hoot but maybe someday they can join us and maybe even their parents....
I have been marking off some of my bucket list this trip. I actually went scuba diving with the boys. Well I think I made the instructor nervous so he didn't leave my sight. We saw lots of fish and turtles and I lived. One you get the breathing pattern down things are enjoyable. We kayaked 2 miles up the river yesterday with Landon Cox then walked/hiked and slipped 1 mile to a "Secret Falls" we swam in the cold pool and went under the falls. On the way back we kayaked to "The Fern Grotto" after the Hurricane 17 yrs ago it took all the ferns so now there are only a few left in the grotto but it was still beautiful....wished I'd gotten to see it 17 yrs ago...hummmmmmm Today or tomorrow is the "Zip line" if I can let go and take the first step. At least "Chicken Paula" is willing to try rather or not I let go. We saw a Monk Seal on Poipu beach, not many of them left. We see millions of chickens and roasters so sick of them, after the Hurricane 17 yrs ago they went wild and multiplied and replenished. Even at church one old prideful roaster went walking by the outside doors thinking he owned the place. I don't think you could go hungry on this island. We met up with our friends the "Bob and Darla Cox's" that live here. Bob hooked us up with Kayaks yesterday and lent his son Landon for the day. We have missed them allot after they moved. We met their little girl, she is beautiful and looks like her mom and dad with curly blonde hair. The boys are all grown up. They are grandparents now, Chris has a beautiful little girl.
Well off the PC, back into the condo for pineapple and juice, have been sitting out on the huge desk listening to the birds and smelling the smells and catching ya all up on the Lee happenings! Hope you appreciate the sacrifice.

Sunshine, Snow or Rain........hummmmm
It is snowing again! good grief! March 24th and snowing with rain intermixed! We are headed to Hawaii for spring break YEAH... For us to make it to summer our family needs a vacation (to get us thru this tough time)!!!! We've been planning this one since last spring and it is finally happening so don't be to jealous.
Sam is working out daily for the upcoming track season, Scott has gotten out his bow and practing in the back yard, we smelled our first skunk of the season last night so spring is coming! Scott has made two long bows in his shop class and they really work! These aren't ribbon bows folks but bows that use arrows.
I will make sure you all will be seeing our pictures on our return from Hawaii! Maybe even post a few while we are there, just want to share with ya all.

Christmas in March
Yes folks it is beginning to look alot like Christmas but then it has been this beautiful picture of white since Dec 17th. It is the longest winter I ever ever remember. The gloomy days will never go away. We did have a spring day last week and one the week before. The people were happy, some were in shorts at Costco (48degrees) I ran and bought my primroses and a couple more plants, well then it snowed the next day. I have my 12 primroses in our little red wagon in the garage, I pulled it out a few hours of above freezing days and they are just beautiful and so want to be planted. I go out and look at them to remind me "Spring is coming, someday".
Scotts steroid week began last Friday. He sleeps alot, doesn't smile and we stay away, well all but Sam this is his week to get even. Someday I so hope those two learn to get along before they leave home.

Green Acres is the Place to Be!!!!
Jim and I have been gone again, Salt Lake this time for the Utah Dental Meetings. We left the boys home alone for the first time. They survived and had many others to take care of them at a moments notice. I was a wreck the first day but finally calmed down. They didn't seem to fight to bad and didn't miss us that I noticed. Sadie drove up to spend Fri night from BYU with her old folks, my brother Don and sister in law D'anne met us for dinner to celebrate Sadies 22 bday. Wow, she is 22 Josh 32. I am a mother of a 32 yr old I am but a 39 year old myself.
Dan and Sarah moved into their new home in Green Acres. (Yes that is the name) ....... They went on Craigs list and got the same front loaders as me for cheap cheap and they RUN RUN. Sarah has become a coupon queen learning from her sister in law not her mother. Something I haven't done since dental school. She is teaching her mother!
Josh and Chiu-yi are planning on coming to the states this summer. Everyone is so happy they get to come Chiu-yi hasn't been here only during the winter COLD months. I was thrilled to say no this year to girls camp leader because that is the week they are here! Well thrilled isn't a good word but close! They don't get to stay long. We will have a new baby by then in the family Janna is due June 5th. We are hoping Danny is tired of Mexico and drags himself back to the states for the Lee reunion to be with ALL his siblings. No pressure there, yes bring Melissa with you if you haven't broken her heart by then.
Scott and his meds are good, Sam is great basketball season has come to a close and he has been busy lifting weights at the high school to get ready for football next summer and to beef up a bit. My sons we all born with a perfect tall skinny frame! Hang on to that boys it disappears once you hit 35.
Our great niece Teryn is getting married this spring. When she has kids I will be a great great Aunt in my 50's. My mom will be a Great great grandmother in her 70's.....well that is if she has kids in the next few years. She has been the mother & sister of 4 the last 2.5 yrs and probably tired!
The office seems to keep plugging along with the country "Out of sorts", people needing their teeth cleaned, fixed or mouth inprovements of some sort. We are blessed to have a dad/husband take such good care of us and good patients. We love our office staff and thankful they like us (we hope).
So on that note ......remember to brush, and floss, but only the ones you want to keep!

Aloha!
Jim and I have been to Hawaii and home again. I added some new pictures in the albums of winter and Hawaii. We had a great time, shopped, snorkled, swam, shopped some more, went to the Polynesian Cultural Center, ate and slept in every morning. Being gone a week is just right after that we getting missing the boys and know it is time to come home. The flight back was a red eye and took a few days to get caught up. Sarah and Dan did a great job of taking care of their siblings and Bucky and the house. We so appreciate them doing that. They will be moving into their own home in just a few days. We are so thrilled it is really going to happen. They have not had real good experiences with certain realtors. Jim and I have had much better luck in not going thru realtors but doing it ourselves when we bought and sold. Hope the sale goes smoothly kids! Carson is now 5 months and growing so so fast. Kyla learns new words by the hour. They will be so happy to be in their own house and a yard...
