Submarine Rock and Suns Game

30 minutes in the car and 60 minutes on foot gave our little family the best Sedona views.  This winter weather can't be beat.


Austin and I then drove to Phoenix for the Suns game.  We had great seats, and our team won with a winning basket at the buzzer.  We had a super-fun evening.

BYU or Bust

These nice kids get to wear college shirts on Wednesday.  This day was a goodie.  Maisie won her class spelling bee and tried in the school bee.  She is a great speller.

That Girl

Meg's show choir performed a medley of Broadway Musicals -- she sang her heart out, and I loved every second -- I sang along as well.  Here is the little performer and her parents in their hats.  Good times.

The Shlogan Wedding

Rachelle and Logan are hitched!  How blessed we are that our children were apart of a temple wedding.  My heart yearns for their successful married future beginning with a temple sealing.  Reconnecting with family and loving each of the nieces and nephews is always a treat.  (I sneaked in an early morning 4+ mile run past the Gilbert temple.)

An Evening of Preparation

Shelly and Logan -- Shlogan are getting married tomorrow!  We met up with most of the family for dinner.  The self-serve soft-serve ice cream was the favorite.  Well, that and Grandpa B.  That table of boys connected like they had never been apart.

Finally Sitting and Being Sat Upon

It was quite a busy holiday, and with the preparations for the upcoming Shlogan wedding, I haven't sat one bit.  I did for 15 seconds and found myself piled upon by a few who simply needed me to stop and hold them.  I love being the mother!

Eddie is a Sunbeam

My little boy is very big -- he is a Sunbeam in primary!  Eddie knows how to sit still and sing all the songs.  He is a missionary in training.
 

Happy New Year

Alpine has the best park for family sledding -- just enough bark but no bite.  Lots and lots of cousins makes the first day of the new year brilliant!
