January news

Elise entered Olivia's picture in the newspaper for babies born during the year 2008. It turned out pretty exciting because she won a $25 gift certificate to the store Storks Landing!

This July our Stake is taking the young men and young women on a Trek to the Willie and Martin Hand Cart Historic sites in Wyoming. We will be divided into groups and Bob and I have been asked to be the "Ma and Pa" of one of the groups. We are so excited to be able to be a part of this great spiritual event!

Wow and double Wow! We had an ice storm here on Thursday with freezing rain. Something I've never seen here before! Our driveway had been clear at the top the day before, but on Thursday it became an ice skating rink! No Kidding. I went visiting teaching and literally slid down to my partners car. We had to put ice melt on the driveway to get the car in the garage! Bob had parked our green car on the driveway after getting home and looked out the window an hour later and it had slid off the driveway into the road! And he always puts the emergency brake on! The next day, Friday morning, the trash truck (you know how big and heavy they are) came to pick up our trash and when it started to go again, its wheels just spun and spun! He had to back down the road and get another start to make it up the hill! We have had one interesting winter!

Christina is having fun (?) going to early morning practices for the high school musical Peter Pan. She leaves the house at 5:30 every morning! The performance will be Feb. 10-Feb14. Then maybe she can sleep "in"!
