CODY
Cody is still going to school full time at CSI, no it's not Crime Scene Investigators-it's The College of Southern Idaho. This quarter he has had some pretty tough courses to keep him busy. I call him crazy, but he has been taking Calculus II, Chemistry and a Law class. And if that is not enough to keep him busy he is also working part time at Fred Meyer and on his days off he works for Craig's brother Clyde on the repairing sprinkler pipes. Personally, I don't know how he keeps it all together and stay on top of it all. Needless to say, we the parents don't get to see him very often. He is living in Twin Falls and I think actually loves being away from home. It's sad to say, but true, my LITTLE boy has grown up. Cody is still dating Maggie. I think most of you have met her. She is in the EMT classes now and going on to Paramedic school. Craig asked him if he thought they might get married sometime, but Cody just put him off saying maybe in the future. Who knows, maybe we will have a bunch of weddings coming up here soon.

CASSIE
Cassie is a Junior this year, she's doing well in school although homework to her is a bummer. You know, having a social life and all, sometimes just doesn't mesh well with after school work. After all, you do have to keep up appearances. :-) Cassie is on the "school" Bowling Team, although they are not sanctioned by the school. This year they went undefeated in the season, took 2nd place at District and 3rd place along with a scholarship, in the State finals. She was pretty stoked to finally score over 180 in a n individual game. Recently she and three of her friends bowled in local tournament and took 1st place in their age group. Over Spring Break, Cassie went to spend some time with Grandma & Grandpa Maughan. She said that they had a lot of fun at the races and hanging out with the cousins. By the way Derek, Cassie loves to drive your car. You must be crazy to let her behind the wheel!!!

CASEY
Casey is a Freshman at the High School. I'm not sure Cassie is convinced that is a good thing, but Casey loves the idea of being out of the Jr. High. Of all the kids, Casey is the social butterfly and the Romeo. School is a real pain in the you know what for him, but he sticks with it. I think his favorite class is Weights! If that tells you anything. He tells me he is going to be the first "real" bodybuilder to not use steroids. So far even though he has a small frame, he is pretty buff and of course, it doesn't hurt at all to attract the girls when he takes off his shirt and flexes. Oh, to be in High School again...NOT! Casey was on the bowling team as well this year. As he is just learning, he was on the JV team which didn't do very well as far as placing, but they had a blast. He did however beat Cassie to the over 180 game. Right now, he is working for Clyde fixing pipe every chance he gets. He is trying to save up for a truck. I think that he could have enough after working the whole summer with Clyde. Best of all, it gives him a goal to work for and as an added bonus, he is busy out in the fields where the only people he sees are old ugly guys! Keeps him outta trouble.

Craig is hopefully back to work full time on full duty after he sees the doctor on Thursday. It has been a very long 5 months since his surgery. He is feeling good though and you can't ask for more than that. I think he is anxious to get back to his regular job. Craig just bid on and got a new job (Standard Liquor Operator) at Almagamated Sugar that will keep him on campaign for another 3-4 months. He is glad about that as he was not sure his back was ready to do Maintenance and Repair work which usually requires a lot of heavy lifting. This way his back will have just a little longer to heal. He is so ready to start going to rendezvous' this summer he can hardly stand himself. I think he just wants to try to show me up and win a new gun for himself. I have news for you Craig...NOT GONNA HAPPEN!!! I am still working at the rehabilitation center and working as a nurse educator. It is a pretty fun job and has lots of flexibility in the hours and times I have to been at work. I usually go in after the kids go to school and am off by the time they are out of school. That part has been pretty nice. We have been out working in the yard trying to get it cleaned up and ready to plant. The weather has been so great and sunny. But don't kid yourself. We live in Idaho and it's not that great, the WIND always blows. Just a matter of how hard and which direction. Anyhow, that's a little update from our family and we would love to hear from you all about you and your families. If you have any more family member email addresses, we would love to have them to send an invite to join our blog. Let us know.
