IPSEN UPDATE

We can't believe we are half-way through March - time flies when we're so busy and having fun! We love reading every ones updates and are so blessed to belong to such a successful, talented, spiritual and fun-loving family! We love you all!

Taylor - 63 days to MTC - but whose counting? He is keeping himself busy with working for Brad, being a missionary for the Easter Pageant, trying to reach his goal of 24 times to the temple before his mission, studying Preach my Gospel and of course manages to spend time with Telicia and eat sushi. Tomorrow we are going to go to Pomeroys to do the one-stop missionary shopping. Exciting and emotional times for mom and dad. Taylor really enjoyed going to the lake with most of his favorite Uncles.

Parker - turned the big 16 and had his first date Sat. night at Sadie's - he was asked by an older woman! Hopefully he will get his Eagle soon so he can drive (aren't we the meanest parents) Basketball is over and he is anxious to go snowboarding. He doesn't like school but does very well. He will be made a priest this Sunday and we are proud of him.

Conner - loves being a scout and going on camp-outs! He just finished with BB - Sat. they played in the championship game and lost by one - bummer. They call him "Dash" on his team. He is not playing baseball this year - first time in 15 years we won't be going to a little league game. He give his first talk in Sacrament mtg. this Sunday. It's always fun to have an eager 12 yr. old around - they love to do anything and going to mutual is really fun!

Brad and Suzanne - we are keeping busy with our church callings (Young Men and Relief Society), parent duties and trying to contribute to our neighborhood and community. We love riding my new hot red tandem bike that I got for my Bday from all my boys. I just cruise on the back and enjoy the orange blossoms - for some reason I am never tired after a long bike ride!
We are looking forward to Spring Break where we will be cleaning, snowboarding (AZ), going to the Easter Pageant, lake trips and watching "Lost". Hopefully lots of family bonding before Taylor takes off.
We are looking forward to seeing everyone at our annual Easter Dinner!

CAN'T BELIEVE TAYLOR'S MISSION IS SO CLOSE---CAN'T BELIEVE PARKER WENT ON A DATE (HE TOLD ME HE DIDN'T KISS THE GIRL, HURRAY FOR PARK) - CANT BELIEVE CONNER GAVE HIS FIRST TALK IN SACRAMENT MEETING - BUT I CAN BELIEVE THEY CALL CONNER "DASH" ON HIS BB TEAM - WAY TO GO IPSEN'S - ALSO CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE SUCH A FUN SPRING BREAK - BUT CAN BELIEVE YOU'LL ENJOY LOTS OF FAMILY BONDING

Taylor I'm so impressed with your temple attendance! What a great example to all of us. Parker--are you driving yet? Do we need to get off the road? Dating and driving already--you're really growing up! How was the talk Dash, I mean Conner? We're proud of you! Sorry you lost your game. Suzanne, what exactly are you contributing to the neighborhood and community? Send us a picture of the red hot couple on the red hot tandem? Love you!!!
