Front Page News


Aaron and Ashton made the front page of The Standard Examiner yesterday!  They participated in Ogden's Winterfest tabogon race again.  We spent the day watching snowmobiles race down 25th street -super cool.  Here's a link to the article http://www.standard.net/topics/business/2011/01/28/city-agencies-businesses-test-homemade-toboggans-ogden-winterfest

How religious of you...

Before church on Sunday we had gotten ready early and needed to distract the kids for 20 minutes. I decided to put on a living scriptures movie we were given, about Lazarus. My hope was to invoke the Spirit into my kids before Sacrament.  As I'm getting the movie started all the kids are sitting on the couch. Ashton clasps his hands and starts chanting "please don't be about Jesus, please don't be about Jesus, please don't be about Jesus."
 
Then during Sacrament we were singing the hymn and Colten, holding a hymnal, starts singing at the top of his lungs to the tune. I thought he was just making sounds to go with the music...and then Aaron and I caught what he was singing, "I love my motorcycle, I love my motorcycle, I love my motorcycle!"  I had to bury my face in the hymnal because I was laughing so hard.

New Years Eve













This was the 40s style suit I wore. I love the button details.  The shoulder pads and chest area were a little big for my taste but the skirt was darling.  I sold it for $14.50 with a broken zipper.  I paid $6 at DI.
