The B Date . . . and More!

I haven't posted in a while.  With just Dad and I, we haven't taken many pictures . . . and I guess we're getting a little boring!

 

But our house is coming along, and we're getting excited!

 

 

The fireplace in the family room.

 

 

I think this is going to be my favorite part of the house--the bump out for the dining room.  There are windows all around and beautiful trees out back!

 

 

Last Monday, because Dad had the day off, we decided to try cross country skiing for the first time--and loved it!  We went skiing on the golf course by our house.

 

 

Because it was snowing, and Dad was sweating, his face was covered with ice by the time we got done!

 

 

That evening we got to go see Ty's cousin, Haley, and Ryan and Cooper, and their adorable new baby, Sayer.  They are such a cute little family!

 

 

 

Dad and I started our alphabet dating again--Idaho style!

 

We don't have any pictures of our A date.  But last week we went with an "Associate" of Dad's, and his wife, to "Applebees."

 

I was in charge of our B date.

We went down to Rigby and ate at "Bambinos."  Yum!  While we ate our dinner, we made a "Bucket" list.  Now we have lots of fun things to do!

 

Then we went to the Madison/Rigby "Boys" "Basketball" game.  It was packed!  It was fun to be back in a high school gym watching the sport we love.  It made Dad want to coach again.

 

After the game we went to Dairy Queen for a "Blizzard."  Yum again.

 

We had a "blast!"

 

The next night we went to watch the BYU International Folk Dancers.  On the way there, Dad said, "I bet all the young couples at this event are dating.  Once young couples are married, there is no reason for the men to go."  Pa, ha!  He was right!  We did ring checks with the couples all around us. For every married couple, there were at least 20 couples that were not!  But Dad was a good sport about going--and it was fun!

 

Welp, that's our week.  Thanks to Josh and Elizabeth for the self stick so we could take all these pictures!

 

Love you all!

 

 

 

 

 

 

A Day in the Life

A Day in the Life of the Pages in 2016!

The tradition continues!

Saturday, January 16th

 

Brian:  Taking a look at the progress on our home.  This will be our fireplace!

 

 

 

Kathy:  Looking for light fixtures.  What do you think of this one to go over our dining room table?!

 

 

 

Ty:  I spent a good chunk of the day doing some financial planning.

 

 

Michelle:  18.5 hours.  166 miles each way.  Stake Youth Conference.  Memphis temple.  A very surprise encounter in the temple with a family from my mission.  Speakers.  Games.  A nap (for me) in the mother's lounge.  Service projects.  Food.  Testimonies.  Sonic shakes on the way home.  Great day.  I'm tired.

 

 

 

Afton:  I begged my Dad to let me take Kathryn down the slide at Chic-Fil-A.  Eliza didn't want to be left out.

 

 

Eliza, or Baby Spider, or was it Daisy?  Oh yeah, Robin Hood watching Brother Bear.

 

 

 

Kathryn:  I spent most of my day in the closet.  A 4 hour nap and a 2 hour nap!  And I had to be woken up both times! 

 

 

 

Josh:  Acting out charades with Mo and Layton.

 

 

 

Elizabeth:  Playing charades with friends.  Of course the pregnant ladies had to act out cartwheels and the splits.  We dominated!

 

 

 

Jayna:  I went to a wedding reception for one of Joseph's friends.  These are some of the people he went to China with.

 

 

 

Dallin:  Baptizing with Elder Rodriguez.

A Day in the Life

A Day in the Life of the Pages

Tuesday, December 15th, 2015

 

 

Brian:  Helping Mom at our Ward Christmas Party.

 

 

 

Kathy:  Me and my 2nd counselor, Sindy Jensen, ended up wearing matching outfits at our Ward Christmas Party.

 

 

Ty:  I spend a lot of time in front of this board each day scheduling for my flight.

 

 

Michelle: Enjoying the good weather while we still have it, while trying to beat both the sunset and the oven timer. We failed at both, but had a nice walk.

 

 

 

Afton: Sticking it to the man. If I'm going to nap, I'm going to do it MY way.

 

 

Eliza:
Strawberry banana juice: "Hi. How was your day?"
Orange juice: "Good. How was your day?"
Strawberry banana juice: "Good."

 

 

Kathryn: In the last week, I turned into both a crawler and a bottler holder. Since I'm getting into everything now, I might as well give Mom a few extra minutes to clean it up.

 

 

Josh:  Looking at Christmas lights.

 

 

Elizabeth:  Looking at Christmas light.

 

 

Jayna:  Getting ready to watch episode 5 of Star Wars in preparation for the new movie premiere on Thursday night!

 

 

Dallin:  I'm here with some friends of Elizabeth's parents!

 



Dallin's Pictures - December 7

 

 So this is the Christmas tree we made.  Woo hoo!

 

 

This was for Josh.  I put bells on the bottom of the tree.

 

We found a little mouse.

 

 

**This is Kathy.  We got this picture, along with this note, from Elizabeth's parents, who got it from some of their friends:

 

"We had missionary exchanges and new missionary arrivals/assignments here in Lima North Mission recently and ran into this really neat new missionary.  His name is Elder Page and he says he knows you guys pretty well; that his brother is married to Elizabeth.  Sound familiar?  He's doing well and we just wanted to pass his picture with us."
