Trevor's Tenderfoot

Trevor recently received his Tenderfoot award and his first merit badge - Fishing- no surprise there. He is very close to first and second class. This was also the first time Brandon had helped to present awards to the other boys and conduct. He received a bunch of merit badges too. Great job boys!

Thanksgiving 2009

Catching up - again -- anyhow we had a great Thanksgiving dinner with Todd's parents. we had a really nice day together before we drove to their house and then there too. We are so blessed to live close to them! We played several wild rounds of Pit - a new old favorite. My friend Denise had taught Christen and I how to make apple pies. I impressed everyone - including myself. They were beautiful! We have been making a lot of homemade egg nog lately too. - Started by Brandon - Brandon got an early birthday gift of a new art set by Grandma and Grandpa. The kids spent the night Thanksgiving night to decorate their house for Christmas the next day. Todd was working and this gave me a chance to go out early with Denise on Black Friday. Very productive!

Printing the Blog

I am wanting to print my blog - for Christmas - birthday time. I know a few of you have done this. Any suggestions on which company - or any tips? I dont know what or how to do it.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

On Thursday, I went to Denver for a 6th Grade field trip with Trevor. It was a beatuful day - good especially because it was a walking tour. They were looking for Greek influences - which there are many. The highlight was climbing up to the top of the state capital dome. It was amazing! It was fun to hang out with my Trevor!!

Brandon's Eagle Board

Just need to schedule his Court of Honor. What a process! He was so nervous - and so was I!! He was well prepared and they congratulated us on what a great job he did. Sorry you have to read every minute detail of this process - but.... Great Job Brandon Boy!!

We had an excellent Stake Activity Day Girls Conference tonight! The weather was a bit snowier that we'd hoped for, but the girls had a great time and learned too! The theme was PJ'S - Prayer, Journals, and Scriptures. It was alot to prepare - and not with out some stress, but it was well worth it. We had two talks on the theme and a musical number by of of the wards girls. ( the new song for 2010) Pizza, candy, prayer, music, journal writing and reading scriptures all in one evening... What could be better! I really do love the ladies I work with in my calling too!
