A little more action!

I've been telling a few of you about a baking class that my sister Kate and I have had in the works for a few months. Well, the time is right, and our supplies are in! So baking 101 here we come! If you are interested in attending a class or learning more about us, check out our blog ...

(quoted from Kate's blog) "The bottom line is, that I have had 7 months of success with baking. I haven't bought a loaf of bread since September. I make pizza, bread, cinnamon rolls, butter braids, clover buns, bread sticks, cinnamon snakes (my kids favorite) and haven't cried ONCE in the meantime (over the baking that is). Now I'm not claiming to be an expert, but I have a great system, and a great sister, and since we've gone through this process together we are excited to share it with others as a tag-team-effort! Just take my crazy, energetic self and multiply it by 2, and you can imagine what kind of fun, food filled evening we can have!"

Clink on our link and leave a comment to sign up for a class.  We only have the first one scheduled, but more dates soon to come!

Good Bye Auntie Caroline!

Our good friend and babysitter, Auntie Caroline, move this past week. We will miss her and her wonderful stories. She moved to California with her daughter, Amber, to be closer to Stanford, where Amber is seeking medical treatment. Caroline and Amber are from England and everytime she came to babysit, the boys would have tons to tell us about her stay. They would draw and color, act out plays, sing songs, anything that didn't involve the tv or video games. It was wonderful! So long Auntie, we will miss you!

Happy Easter Baby Jo!

Big day for Jo and family.

I realize this post is more than a little late.  On Friday, March 20th, baby Josephine got he ears pierced!  Although the pictures are  not he best, these are the before and after shots.  She was a real trooper and only  cried for less than a minute.  





About an hour after those festivites, we rushed off  to the airport to pick up mom and dad, who were returning from South Africa , where they served in the office of the area authority for the  last year.  Only 3 months at home and then off to The Democratic Republic of  Congo for 2 more years as Mission President and wife.  We are so happy to have them home, especially all the grandkids.  They are trying to hide out from us in St. George for some solitude but we will be sure to not let that happen for very long!


Mommy & Baby Jo




My sweet and talented friend tried to take some pictures of baby Jo and me a while back.  Jo wasn't terribly cooperative but she did manage to get a few cute ones.  Thanks Suzy-you're the best!
