Quotable Quote

Educated women in the home?  What an odd thing to deplore!  What better place to have us "end up".... What more important job is there than sharing the values we are learning to cherish with the next generation of adults?  What more strategic place could there be for the educated woman?                                       Edith F.

Updates

Hi everyone, I'm back! My house is absolutely quiet, might be because it's 2 a.m., but I slept all day and I'm not quite ready for bed.  Anyway, I've gone back to February, so grab and drink and some popcorn and have a good read.

Girls Camp

This was Meg's first year of girls camp and she had a blast!

She's so excited to go!

Here are some girls from the ward. Cassie Whitney-left, Amy Pulsipher-middle, and Aubrey Henrickson-right.

When Meg got home she said, "Mom, I don't know why you don't like camping, it was so much fun!"  Well, I think I had fun as a kid, but as an adult, I'll take my bed, thank you very much!

Minneapolis, Wisconsin

Ter had a business trip in Minneapolis, Wisconsin for NCARB and I was lucky enough to be able to go with him.  This is the second time we've been to Minneapolis and thought we'd better hit the "Mall of America."  The size is incredible, but I have to say that I'd get pretty tired of shopping for that long.  It would easily take a week to go through all the stores.  Lucky for us we were only going for dinner.

There was one store we could not pass up and that was the Lego store.  Talk about awesome!  All these displays were made totally from Lego's. What a fun job to have!

Amy Graduates from USU

We spent the day in Logan for Ter's sisters graduation.  Way to go Amy!
It was so cold, Megan and I were wrapped in baby blankets all day.
Here's some of the cousins who attended. Chris, Meg, Spencer, Caleb, Brevin, Sam, Charlotte, Gabbie and Matthew.

Service Project at the Harris'

Lish and Whitney Harris moved into our ward about a year ago.  Ter and Spencer were assigned to be their home teachers and caught wind of a project they needed to some help with.  Since our family is always in for a demolition project we offered to help!

So here's Brevin with Whitney Harris... 

Ter by the back door, Lish's back is to us and Spencer in crouched down...

I stayed on the ground most of the time to toss the boards into the dumpster.  We thought for sure this dumpster would be big enough, but no can do.  It got dumped twice before the project was complete.

I'm helping take down the stair section...

Megan, taking her turn cleaning up.  This is after she finished babysitting their little boy and putting him down for a nap. What a gal!

The final step, getting the legs off the deck portion. This is Ter and Lish.

They put of some railing to close up the gap then repainted everything grey, it looks so nice. I wish I had a finished photo.

Puppy Love

I pick up 7 kids every day from GWA. One day after school we say all these puppies for sale and the kids just had to see them.  I'm good to look at baby animals, but don't ask to have one.  No matter how cute!  I guess they had been outside for a long time and had already had tons of visitors, so they were tuckered out when we stopped.  This is Brynn holding a sleeping puppy. 

Suzi with a half dazed puppy!

Meg, with a very speckled sleepy guy and....

Brevin, doing the dog stare, only the dog doesn't really care!
