PRESIDENT GORDON B. HINCKLEY

"To you women of today who are old or young, may I suggest to you that you write, that you keep journals, that you express your thoughts on paper. Writing is a great discipline. It is a tremendous education effort. It will assist you in various ways, and you will bless the lives of many-now and in the years to come, as you put on paper some of your experiences and some of your musings"

For my birthday, Kyle took me to Harvest restaurant at Thanksgiving Point and it was so delicious! We highly recommended it. Don't pass up appetizers and dessert. After dinner we went to the gardens and rode the Segways! What a blast. We felt like characters from Star Wars- gliding through the air in the most unusual way. For $40 bucks it was an awesome birthday/date night adventure!

Last weekend Andrew and Josh slept over and we had a blast. They played and watched SnowBuddies. Here is a picture of them jumping down the stairs onto piles of blankets and pillows.

Miss Lilly's birthday was yesterday! We celebrated with family. She got a bike and a scooter and now that is all she wants to do. We ate hamburgers, chips, salad and cake. This saturday is her friend party and she is so excited. The theme is Dora.

While Lilly was riding her bike up and down the street, I thought I would try riding Conner's skateboard. I did pretty well until I hit the park strip and turfed it! I landed flat on my face. I was so embarrassed because some of the neighbors were there and started laughing at me. Moms and skateboards do not mix!

Max will be one next month and he might have a tooth before then. His little gums look so swollen, but its been that way for months now.

Conner is driving his uncle Kevin crazy -begging him for Jazz play off tickets. Conner eats, sleeps, and lives BASKETBALL. The kid knows everything about the JAZZ. He surprises me with how much he knows.

It feels like Spring is just around the corner!  We cant wait for warmer weather to play outside. We are counting down the days until our trip to Cancun.  It will be the perfect get-a-way.  We are taking the kids and going with Gary and Dixie, Kevin, Nicole and Beth.  Im curious how Max will be on this trip.  He is a Holy Roller!  This kid rolls everywhere- maybe someday he will crawl.  He doesnt have any teeth yet and he's 9 months, but we love it- it makes him look like a little baby.

Everyday Lilly asks me how many days until her birthday-  i think its 26 days. She is having a Dora Party.  Saturday, she went to her friend Kimberly's puppie party and is now more excited than ever for her birthday party.  She wants a bike, scooter, swing set and a Fur Baby.  Im thinking just a bike.  

Conner is the biggest Jazz Fan.  A few weeks ago Kyle got tickets to a Jazz game and asked Conner if he wanted to go and of course he did.  Before he left I told him he needed to promise me that he would stay for the entire game- because last year he went with Kyle and only wanted to stay for an hour. Well, he promised he would stay for the entire game.  So listen to what happens-  Into the 3rd quarter the Jazz are killing the other team and Kyle says to Conner, "we can go home now if you want because it looks like the Jazz are going to win this one."  Conner says No and he wants to stay.  So then, half way through the 4th quarter, the Jazz are still killing this other team and Kyle asks Conner again, "Conner do want to go home since it looks like the Jazz are going to win this one?"  Conner's reply is, "No, I told mom I would stay for the whole game and I don't want to be a liar." --- Oh!  I choked up when Kyle told me that.  He's a good kid.

Welcome to our Blog!  We really enjoyed connecting with friends and family when we were using caringbridge.org but now that life is somewhat back to normal, we thought blogspot would be a better fit.  Later, we will add more postings and pictures.  See ya soon!
