Piglet

Briggs is such a little stinker but a cute one at that. Look at our little piglet...then of course what do pigs need? To make a mess in the pantry of course. One of his favorite places. I cannot believe how big he is. He will be in Nursery in a few weeks :(

Abby vs the Chair

When ever Abby is "vs" anything it typically doesn't turn out well. As you may recall from a post labeled Abby vs the couch well such is the case again. While eating dinner she was messing around and goofing off and of course not listening, per usual, and this was the result. A failed attempt and climbing the chair while disregarding warnings. Poor thing. It was really bad and the pics don't really reflect the bruising. She absolutely hated the ice on her head too.

Busy Busy Busy

I have mentioned before that I have a new calling in church. I am now the 2ND counselor in the Primary Presidency. Who would have thunk it? I would have never guessed how involved it is until now. Lets just say I am busy, busy, busy, and I have it way easier than the president and the first counselor. I digress. The reason for this post is to share this idea. Albeit probably far past the time that anyone would use it. But, it was a lot of effort to get together and I must say I think it turned out well. The theme for Primary is "I Know the Scriptures are True." So to play on that we went with a ward theme of treasure the scriptures. That particular idea I got from a fellow blogger but, I took it a different route. So with a lot of planning and tons of help from Seth this is how the finished bulletin board turned out. Now we can use it as a part of sharing time or to help with ideas for primary activities and what not. For the scriptures are treasure and I know they are TRUE!

March of Dimes March for Babies

Hey All,

As you know last year I walked in the March Of Dimes March for Babies. This is a walk benefiting research and assistance in premature birth. My goal last year was to raise $150 and I ended up raising $165. This year I decided to up the ante to $225 in hopes that all those who donated last year and who will donate this year will be equally as generous. Even a dollar helps! Please follow my lead, I have donated $20 to start things off right. There are 58 days left until the walk so when time allows please take a moment to donate to a cause that is near and to to me and many in my life. Donate or walk with me or Both!

Thank in advance for all your generosity.

Sledding

Yes, It has been over a month and I am still posting about Utah. What can I say, I have been busy. On several occasions Seth was a trooper and took the kids sledding. They had such a great time. I was really shocked at how much Abby loved it because she hates being cold. But she is still talking about how fun it was. I ventured out with them one night and we had so much fun. That is until it starting hailing/sleeting. All three kids started whining and crying because it was hurting their faces. I can attest it did hurt. However we were not that close to home and so we ran to the side of a building to shelter ourselves for a minute while we got the kids situated. We put them on the sled and Seth and I both took off our coats and placed them on the kids while we ran home. Seth pulled all three kids all the way home while running without a coat. He was superman that day. I ran the whole way too and I was exhausted I cannot imagine how Seth did it. Good times.

The Canyon

While we were in Utah we decided to drive up the canyon and go sledding. That turned out to be a bad idea. It was much colder up there and it was all ice and no snow. Abby was miserable and I think we only played outside for 10-15 minutes. It was really windy and about 17 degrees. On the bright side it was really beautiful.
