To the Women who have touched my life.

I have a couple of wonderful roommates that I still keep in contact with from Ricks. Brandi J, being one of them recently posted this video on her blog. I really enjoyed it. Thought I would pass it on. In some ways it reminded me of the RS program. How lucky I have been as a woman to have RS sisters, a wonderful sister (Tena), my mother, my grandmothers, and aunts. Now my mother-in-law, sister-in-laws, newer aunts and grandmothers. And to my friends that have made me who I am today. May you all enjoy this video, or at least think of some one special. Thank you ladies. PS- Hope to have pictures up soon.

Where's the Beef?

Our friend and my parents neighbor Dana Hanson was diagnosed with a rare form of Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Thankfully it was caught before reaching the bones or any major organs. He has undergone Chemotherapy and is currently undergoing Radiation treatments 5 days a week. His employers are trying to help him raise money to help pay for some of his medical bills insurance doestn't cover. They are having a raffle. There will be four winners and the prises are a 1/2 beef custom cut and wrapped. The beef are farm raised, grain feed Black Angus. Tickets are going for $5.00 a piece. Anyways we thought we would do our part to help and let people know. We have some of their beef and it is really good.
Dana is always there to help my parents out. His wife Shawn is one of my mothers best friends. They are good people.
If you are wanting to try and win some beef. Please make checks payable to: Dana Foundation and send checks to:
Jennifer Rathbun
11990 Rd N.E.
Moses Lake, WA 98837
They ask that you include your phone number so they can get ahold of you.
Good luck. The tickets will be available until March 31st.

Got this as an email. Thought this was to funny not to share. Hope you get a good laugh out of this one also.

Cason Singing

Some of you have seen this video before but I just thought it was to cute not to share. My mother just got a new phone and we wanted to show her what it could do. I just love Cason little facial expressions. Plus he nailed his song. Anyways this was taken last spring when he was four.

Otis Spunkmeyer

I know, I know it seems like every time you turn around one of my kids are selling cookie dough to raise money for something. This time it is all 4 of the kids in dance. They really need a new dance floor. The twins are really cute about it because it is their first time. So if any one would like to buy some cookie dough please let us know. If not no big deal just thought I would put it out there for any one ready to go off the band wagon. Or for us moms that thinks its nice to have some emergency dough in the freezer.
They are the preformed cookies, makes around 36, for 15.00 a tub. Here are the flavors: Chocloate chip, peanut butter, white chocolate macadamia nut, carnival, strawberry shortcake, triple chocolate chunk, butter sugar, cranberry oatmeal, whole grain chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin, chocolate chocolate chunk, and chocolate and pink (for breast cancer). Plus there are brownies and pretzels.
Anyways, there I got it out there. Now I can say I did my part.

Thankful for Family

Ok so I had a first today. I was kind of having an off day so I called Brent. Talking to Brent on the phone, I went to pick up Cason, Cael and Kaelen from preschool today and locked myself out of my tahoe. I have never done that before! I called Brent back and of coarse he couldn't help. He was at work. Thankfully Jennie was able to bring me our extra key. Thank you, Thank you Thank you Jennie. So I am grateful for sister in laws.
Also Grandpa Holman, Grandpa Cox, Andrew, Jennie, Jeff, and Lili were all able to come and watch Austin wrestle today. It was my turn to drive to dance today so I missed him wrestle. :( So thanks for all the support and keeping me up dated. Austin wrestles very well. But still not sure he loves it as much as his dad.
