Julie's 8th Birthday Party





Most of the excitement here has been Julie's 8th birthday. We had a fun party at our house on Saturday, Jar. 24. Her birthday, the 26th, she had rainbow cupcakes at school and went to her first activity day with the 8 and 9 year olds. She is now preparing for her baptism. It will probably be Feb. 21.
I am enjoying my new calling as the Ward Music Chair(person) and Sacrament Meeting Chorister. I was ridiculously happy to be released from Primary although I did enjoy singing the primary songs.
Lisa plays basketball with a parks league, and Julie sings with the ward choir. They both take piano lessons.. I go to LAFitness and Institute, so we are a busy group.

Happy New Year's Day

It's almost the end of New Year's Day. Last night the kids and I stayed up late and blew our paper horns at midnight. They managed to sleep in today until 10. They spent Christmas down at Castle Rock with their paternal grandparents. Troy and I spent Christmas Eve with his cousin and a big bunch. Then for Christmas we each were invited out for dinner with friends. It's quite a relief to be out of the snow. It's amazing that something so beautiful can be such trouble. Happy New Year to all. I enjoy reading your blogs.
