Today was the Ogden Temple Rededication. Jimmy and Abe went to the 10 a.m. session at the stake center. It was crowded all the way back to the stage in the cultural hall. Hannah and I went to the 4 p.m. session and they closed the curtain to the gym – so definitely not as […]
This was the short & sweet FHE lesson Miss Hannah gave tonight. It hangs on the fridge as a reminder to think before we act or speak!
Regional Broadcast from the Marriott Center for Stake Conference today. Elder Nelson & Elder Scott were the visiting apostles. They spoke on Angels & Prayer. Yes, we believe in Angels… not the winged flying variety… but Angelic Messaegers who bring peace. Elder Nelson shared about their experience in Mozambique and how their lives were threatened […]

He received peanuts in shell (from Truman), gummy bears for stay-awake treats in car, assorted chocolate bars for stay-awake at work […]

Though Scotland is a sweet baby, he does have his moments of crankiness. I’d be cranky too if I was shocked into mortality with gassy-pains and lots of noise. But we sure love him and hope he adjusts to our world soon (though I do hope his guardian angels stay close by for a long […]
This is Scotty… sweet, sweet Scotland Charles… who delights our family… who generally sleeps about 4 hours at a time… (except for, of course, this middle of the night, in which I am posting this entry… I feel like he has been awake half the night with burps & spit-ups) who changes expressions often while […]
