Mom and Dad

These have been very fun and busy last few weeks. We have had the privilage of having Mom and Dad up here with us while they took care of Jared and Michelle's children. We have tried to spend as much time with them as we can. McKay and I go over about every other morning to see them and help take care of Chase and have him and McKay play and also go over on the weekends and spend time with the whole family. It has been a lot of fun!!!

Mom and Dad came over the first night they got here and ate dinner with us in our home.

McKay loves to play with Grandma.

McKay was pretending that this basket was a car and it broke down ever other second. He liked to find tools and fix it. Here he is with his toy drill fixing it.

McKay and Chase and Courtney playing a duck game.

Courtney was a good teacher and they had a lot of fun playing it.

McKay and Chase made a giant snake out of dominos.

Picture is hard to see but we caught Grandma and McKay both playing Gameboy's side by side and concentrating hard.

Valentine's Day

We kept things simple for Valentine's day as I was working that day. I did, however, sqeeze in some time to make a nice dinner (I only do things this extravegant on Valentine's Day). I made Samon over rice, honey-glazed carrots, bread, salad, and cream puffs for desert. It was very nice and McKay even took a longer nap that day so we had time to enjoy the meal together alone. Kory bought me a much needed new toaster for my gift.

The Weekend Is Here!!!

We had a good and relaxing weekend. Our weekend was also packed with church activities and responsibilities. Kory helped clean the Church early Saturday morning and I played my flute and sang at a Stake Baptism. We ate out in the evening at TGI Fridays. On Sunday we went to Church, Kory went to meetings, and then we went over to Jared and Michelle's to celebrate Michelle's sister Becky's Birthday and to say goodbye to them before they left on their big trip next Saturday.

McKay loves his LeapFrog pad and plays with it all the time. He is working on his alphabet and sings with all the songs.

Finishing up dinner at TGI Friday's. We tried the 3-course meal, it was really good, we all shared, and it was reasonably priced.

Singing happy Birthday to Becky.

Watching the Olympics

The girls played with McKay and had a lot of fun.

Stake Conference and Missionaries

This last Sunday we had Stake Conference and received much information about the temple and it was a wonderful two days. We also had the missionaries over for dinner that night. Poor Kory had to miss almost the entire SuperBowl. He got to see the last part of it though. It was great to have the missionaires over. They shared with us a spiritual message about sharing the gospel and helped give me more of the desire to find someone to give the Book or Mormon to and to be excited about the gospel. It is hard to explain. I was a very spiritual and wonderful weekend for us.

Eating dinner. I made a lot of food and I felt like it was too much but the missionaries kept eating and taking seconds and thirds. It is probably because they missed lunch because of Stake Conference that made them so hungary.

Cute McKay

I let McKay take my picture.

Grandma Hall sent us Valentine hearts to put in our window. They were fun to put up.
