Time Out For Women - Richfield 2014

Living in a small community has its perks --  I was asked by a friend to be on the team for TOFW this year in Richfield.  I was the scholarship coordinator, which entailed a lot of computer data entry and emailing.  Crazy as it sounds, I really enjoy that kind of work so it was an awesome job for me.  I had never been to time out, and I loved the experience!  Holly came and this is now my favorite picture of the two of us.  She is such an awesome friend!  I am glad I had the opportunity to work on the Time Out team.

Dad and Jan

This is my dad, Clair and his wonderful wife Janet.  They are currently serving an lds mission in Russia.  We love them, and love having them in the mission field.  We get to chat via skype every Wednesday and already feel the blessings of having missionaries in the family.  Love you, Dad and Jan...or should I say Elder and Sister Jaussi!

Mike's Birthday

Happy birthday to dear ol dad!  Mike turned 37 on Feb 1st this year.  We had a fun little party with one of his best childhood friends and his family.  We love you Daddy!

Science fair

Science fair time!  This year Joshua was required to enter because he is int he 5th grade.  It is so handy to have a science teacher for a dad -- we had access to lots of fun equipment.  Joshua decided to build a solar powered car.  after lots of trial and error, we were able to get it to actually run on nothing but sun energy! 

 His project won the fair and went on to the state science fair in Cedar city.  There he won an award for the best engineering project.  What a science stud!!

Reflections

The boys did really well in the school reflections contest this year.  Joshua made a video about how to properly use lego bricks, and Andrew wrote a 7 chapter short novel about two orphans having an adventure in Africa (seriously, he wanted to write 30 chapters but I gently suggested a shorter book)

 Both boys won our school competition and advanced to region.  There, they both won first place and advanced to State.  we were so proud of them!

Peter's 1st birthday

Happy 1st birthday to our dear little Peter! He turned 1 on December 27th, 2013.  He loved having a birthday cake all to himself, and made an appropriate amount of mess for the occasion.
