Jon's Project

Jon has been so busy lately, which is great! His passion is woodworking and he is in seventh heaven when he is out in his shop. So, some new doors kind of opened for him when he built a trophy base for a sheep. The taxidermist took it to the hunting expo in Salt Lake and it sounds like some great things are going to come from it. (We hope!) He is so talented and does a great job. Now I just have to find more black walnut wood for my kitchen because he used most of it on this. Oh well, hopefully it will be worth it.
Jon's mom took the kids for Valentines weekend and it was so nice. Jon and I actually got to go on a little date, first time in years. We went to Salt Lake to the hunting expo and then went out to dinner. Not much, but great to spend some time with one another. Then I had to talk in church on Sunday and teach Relief Society, not fun! Anyway, great weekend!

SNOW

I love this time of year! Snow is my favorite thing! Some people say that I'm crazy but, oh well. We had a great Christmas and just stayed home the entire holiday. It was really nice and relaxing especially since before Christmas was crazy! The kids were spoiled again and it was so much fun to watch them open their presents. Logan got a Wii and some other things, Maddi was so happy to get the American Girl doll that she wanted. All Brooke wanted was make-up and I can't believe that I actually gave it to her. She has done pretty good with it and has really decked herself out. Briggs got a four-wheeler and loves it! Jon surprised me with a new camera and I was so excited!!!! We got Jon new clothes and some Bogg boots. Good times!!!

The kids have loved the snow! I think that Logan could live outside. He spends hours and hours in it. We went sledding with the family and Briggs had a little accident. We spent New Years at the hospital getting stitches. I guess we all need a few battle scars in our life. I'm just grateful that my brother-in-law, who is a vet, was there. It was a little too much blood for me.

That's pretty much all that we have been doing. Playing in the snow, snuggling up to the fire, and just spending time together as a family. I am so grateful for my family and their different personalities that bring such joy into my life. I am looking forward to a great year!
