Thursday January 26

Becky looks pretty official doesn't she?  She had a light tied around her

head to see the wires.  The wires were so short, that she had a hard time.

When the flash went, Dad thought the power was still on

and that she had hit a hot wire.

This is the 4 piece plug covers for the bathroom.

Notice she had to take the clocks out of

the bathroom while she worked.

She hates ticking clocks.

We ppreciate all of the work she did yesterday.

A much needed car wash.

After traveling a lot in the last month, dad finally got the car washed this morning.

It is maroon!   I thought it was a dusty brown with lots of brown

icyles hanging from it from the slushy dirty road.

Tuesday - January 24. Dad's MRI at IF.

This is the view of the waiting room while Grandpa was getting

his MRI.  After I waited for one and a half hours, He came out and said

they weren't able to get a picture of anything.

Grandpa said he muct not have any "guts".

It is going to cost us a lot to not find out anything.  Crazy!

Monday January 23--Family Home evening at Wendy and Scotts.

My pictures are a little dark, but we had a great Family Home Evening at the Welchs.

It was very nice to all be together and to have the Black family on Skype.

The Otteson kids were intertaining us showing us how they are doing

in their karate classes.  Way to go kids.

Can you tell me why Ashlyn is not afraid of Bogie and she is of me.

I must be scary looking.

Just look at how Tyler turns away when I look at him.  Ha Ha.

Sunday January 22

I have been indexing and have been doing good for me.

Now I have 3117 points whatever that means.

I'm going to count this as doing Geneology work along with

the Temple sealings that Dad and I do.

Now I feel like I have completed all that my Patriachal (sp) Blessing

tells me I need to do here on earth.

The "after" pictures

If you can't tell, we have a river of water in our backyard.

The ground is frozen so it hasn't gone into the ground.

If it freezes now, we will have a skating rink.

We haven't got the snow though.

If it was warmer you kids could have fun wading and sliding

on the grass in the back.

It was a good day for cooking so I made an

apple cobbler, rolls and bread, and potato soup.

An angel food cake and a new picture on the wall.

Becky made the cake, but I took it out to soon.

Oh well it still looks good to me.

Strawberry shortcake anyone?

Dad framed a new picture and hung it up.  It looks nice.

Sorry about the flash in the picture.

It has been 36 degrees outside since I went to the Temple this morning

and it was 36 degrees all day yesterday.

Pretty warm for this time of year.
