I' m in a pickle

I tried my hand at canning pickles.  Funny thing- I HATE PICKLES!  I am not a fan, but two of my kids are, so we took from our abundance of cucumbers from the garden and magically turned them into pickles.

I sang "Happy Birthday" to the Prophet!

The four of us got to attend the 85th Birthday Celebration for President Thomas S. Monson.  It was an enjoyable night filled with his favorite music- mostly Broadway Musicals.  The event was hosted by Steve Young and Jayne Clayson.  We had a great time.

Our Olympian

A silver and bronze medal for basketball and discus in his school olympiad.

Painting the "U"

For the Painting Merit Badge Noah worked on one wall of the garage- and he added the U for good measure.

The Return of Abinadi (Star Wars & The Book of Mormon)

This is very entertaining!

Eye Surgery and More

Haven't been able to post for a while.  I have been recovering from eye surgery and complications related to it.  On top of that, I was the lone parent at home while Brad was in Kentucky on business for a week.  I still can't see super great, but I am getting better.  Hopefully I will be able to post more in the next while.
