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!

Halloween evening

pumpkin carving

We were a little late this year on the Halloween prep since we were on our trip and also missed the ward trunk or treat. We finally carved pumpkins but now they are buried in the snow outside. Christen wanted to do her own so she did - she ended up with a big hole in the middle. Good thing we had the princess potato head decorations to add. Then she wasnt so upset.

Snow Days! = 3

Three days of Snow Days!

Above is the only picture I managed to take of our tree before our trip.

We have lived here for a long time now. 11 years in the area. Other than one spring break when we were snowed in - the kids were out of school anyway, this has never happened. THREE full snow days for the kids - OUT OF SCHOOL! Amazing. There is 2 ft of snow on our patio table outside. The boys have made an incredible snow fort in the front yard. It seems too dry of a snow to make a good snowman. Lots of hot chocolate, shoveling, indoor games, movies, and baking. As Christen and I were making pumpkin cookies we played a Princess Diaries trivia game together - asking eachother made up questions. She and I didnt do to well when we played Star Wars Trivial Pursuit with the neighbors!

I think that later today we will be able to go out. We will see. It is pretty outside although after our trip I really feel bad that our fall season is so short here. We had all the backpacks all set out last night just sure that the kids would be back and have their Fall/ Halloween parties. Oh well. Tonight Brandon was supposed to play in the band with the High School during the football game. I am assuming that wont happen now.
