Time to play catch up. Laura Garcia, my good friend from Texas came to visit in February.

Wal-Mart

Brian and I went to Wal-mart to pick up a few things. While Brian was checking out I took the cart back to the cart area. When I came back to help Brian carry out the items we purchased the checker man turned to me to thank me for returning the cart. After he thanked me he said, "We have had a kid die from a cart being left behind." At this comment I began laughing because I have never heard of such a thing. The checker got even more serious and said, "This is no laughing matter, so thank you for returning your cart." I didn't think I had heard him correctly, so I looked at Brian and instantly I realized I had heard him because of the look on Brian's face.
Moral of the Story...Return your cart, and I mean it!

MY Project

I am restaining some furniture we have. Brian was so kind and bought me some tools. I was so excited to get started, and then... Brian starts doing my project. I don't know if it was the idea I had or the new tools.

Christmas Lights with Friends

Brian and I seeing the lights at Temple Square. Notice how I am dressed compared to my uncovered head and hands husband. I think he wished he had worn a beanie when the night was finished.



Brian and I went to see Temple Square lights with some of our friends. Here are the girls posing near the nativity scenes. It was freezing that night. Amy is the one in the middle. At dinner, before seeing the lights, Amy showed us her outfit for the lights. She was wearing three pairs of pants, some shirts and a hoodie, boots, beanie, and a nice winter coat. Needless to say she was dressed for the occasion, yet she still froze.

The Eldredge's Visit

LaRena, Dave and Little Cedar came to visit Utah. YEAH!!! This was Cedar's first experience with snow, well snow he can now enjoy since he is older. He was funny to watch and didn't want the snow once he saw his mommy inside. Maybe he'll be more adventurous in Blanding. It was great to see you guys!!!

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was great this year. Seriously, this picture represents Thanksgiving...Blaine hording and then inhaling all the pumpkin pies. Aubrey (Michelle's daughter) took a pumpkin pie and all of us looked to see where Blaine was. Luckily, he was catching some zzz's so she was safe to run with the pumpkin pie.
Kayla, your family was missed!

... Where we have been

This is one of the many things Brian and I have been up to. Painting has been the biggest project once we bought this home. Luckily most is complete. Thank You to all for helping with painting and moving us in. We are so blessed to have such a great place to call HOME.
