which included our last ward conference.

. . . and then we got a little loopy!

Afton:  Mom's pretty bad at taking pictures right now.  So this came from a friend on the 22nd.  The Lindgren's took us to a carnival put on by their Stake.  The snow cones were great!

There was a petting zoo!

Brian:  I took our department out for a nice dinner at Stockman's Restaurant.  I'm trying not to be shocked at the bill!

Kathy:  I got a piece of chocolate cake to go.  

I was shocked when they handed me a huge tin!

Ty:  I learned to cut mats in high school and have always loved it.  At work we got a last minute tasking to get an unexpected retirement gift ready for someone.  After my coworkers struck out at a few places due to high costs and turn times, I said I could take care of it.  I found the frame in the “oops” section at Michael’s (that saved me a lot of time and money), found a blueprint shop to scan and reprint the artwork for pennies, cut the mats, got the glass cut at the frame shop for $10, and assembled it all.  My turn around time was less than 24 hours and the cost was about 25% of the quoted price.  It was fun to do this again.

Michelle:  I've been working hard on my health this last month.

Had another killer workout today.

Afton:  We finally managed to have Family Night on Thursday.

I love the treat of ice cream!

Eliza:  Kathryn and Calvin danced while I played "You Don't Know You're Beautiful" on the piano.

Kathryn:  Mom snagged a new game at a RS activity last night.  

It's actually pretty fun!

Calvin:  I love to create!

Josh:  My sharp shootin qualified me as a Level 4 Scout for Galactic Alliance.

Elizabeth:  Sorry for my obscene hand gesture.  I was just trying to show off my jalapeno pretzel that took me several tries to obtain.

Layla:  Nothing better than Minnie Mouse ears and churros with your sister at Disneyland.

Ellie:  How my day started.  How my day ended.

Joseph:  Carpet is being installed tomorrow.  When did we get all this stuff?

Jayna:  Slowly but surely, our entertainment center is coming together!

William:  Nothing better than chocolate milk in the morning.  And afternoon.

And evening.  And anytime, really.  I ask for "more milk" all day long.

Nora:  I love the snow but hate the wind.

Dallin:  Benson thought I was the coolest dad out there.

Courtney:  Teaching Benson the best ice cream flavor--graham central station.

Benson:  I loved seeing all the animals at the zoo!
