This is Rae playing in Southern Utah Performing Arts Festival. First is Scarborough Fair, then Burst. I thought they did very good for being beginners. She is 4th from the left, front row, playing the Viola!

Jesse's Job

As some of you know Jesse got a job. He is working at The Molycorp Mine in Mountain Pass California. It is about 60 miles south of Las Vegas. Here is some info about the mine he is working on.

He wont be working IN the mine, he will be constructing building's around it. First he is working on the Water Treatment Plant as a Carpenter. He is going to have some crazy hours, it will be changing depending on how quickly they want things done. So right now its 6~10 hour days Sunday off. Then it will be 13~10 hour days and 1 day off. Crazy!!!

He is super excited to be starting something new and even more happy to be moving out of Utah!! One thing I am NOT happy about( other then the obvious of him being there & me being here) He is working at a mine!!! They have to be fitted with a "gas mask" in case they hit something "dangerous". The mask has to have full skin contact, which means..........no facial hair!!!!!!!! This makes me so sad, I have never seen the man without it, it will take some getting use to for sure!

So the rest of us are hoping to be down there sometime in March. I can hardly wait. After 3 years of having him around ALL the time. It will be very hard to not get to see him til March!!

So, hope all the rest of you are doing great!

Rae turned 13!!!!

Our Rae turned 13, can you believe it?? I can't! She is such an amazing young lady, so beautiful and such a warm, loving person. I know I haven't been there from the very beginning, but it sure does feel like it! She is my little girl, with the chubby cheeks and cute little voice! I love her so much and could not be more proud of her!

Here is a little video I made for her, it's about 23 minutes but fun to watch!!

Hope you like it!
