Manti Pageant

Hello to all!

We've decided to try and make a party out of going to the Manti pageant the week of June 12-14th. That is the first of the two weekends that they are presenting it. We are going to stay at the Temple Rv Park that is located right by the temple, it has a lot of tent sites, a pool, hot tub (yeah!) volleyball and horseshoe pits. Check out the Manti Pageant site, I haven't been since I was a teenager and can't wait for my kids to see it. If anyone wants to join us come along. We have possibly the Lassigs and the Geertsens looking to see if they can come.

Donuts!

We had a fun time yesterday and today! I volunteered at the school book fair and found a recipe for Mashed Potato Donuts! I am so missing Spudnuts in Oxnard at this moment. They gave me a free book for coming, so of course I had to have the cookbook. We started them at 7:00 last night and little did I realize they have to chill for 2 hours. Did that stop me? You all know me and my sweets. We decided to go to Target at 9:30 to get a little fryer so we could make them. Donuts taste really good at 10:30 at night! They were really good, not Spudnuts, but good!

My attempt at a football cake.

Zac is officially a teenager! Scarey thought. He hasn't celebrated yet since heis back problems have held things back. We finally have the back pain gone, so he is talking about taking a couple of friends snowboarding. Party!

January Snow Storms!

Aubrey enjoying the snow

You can't tell very well, but there are stairs and bushes under there! The snow was knee deep just on the front walk.

We had so much snow that they sent us home from church to shovel each other out!

Good Friends!

Lisa and I had the chance to get together with our friends Jen and Kristen. They are sisters that we lived by in California when I was four years old. Our parents have been really good friends all of these years. Our families got together on the 29th of December 2007.

Zac thought he knew all of his Christmas presents, we had a surprise for him!

I guess some info on the polar express pictures would be nice. Meg and Aubrey performed with Fusion Dance Academy in their musical theater calss. They put on the polar express for Christmas. My dad, sister Lisa and niece Madilyn came to watch. Mary was also there but we didn't get a photo of her.
