Building Monkeys and Dog

Life has been busy the past two weeks. Mal, Jon and Hanna were here then Jon left and Mal and Hanna stayed until the 18th. I miss them already. We did lots of things. We played with toys. Hanna got her four top teeth in. She learned to crawl upstairs. We took walks outside. We went to Build A Bear with Evelyn and built a Monkey named Bobbie Monkey, and Evelyn built a dog named Boo Dog. We had Evelyn's FIRST birthday party! We read scriptures in the morning, And took bathes in Grandmas kitchen sink. Mal and Hanna also made a Gingerbread Christmas Tree.

On Sunday Night Taylor received his Eagle Award. It was a simple presentation, and glad we're done with it. I'll post the picture of it tomorrow if I can figure it out. and if the pictures I just did turn out the way I want them too. Not bad for my first time.

Happy Birthday Evelyn

Our Grand baby Evelyn turned 1 year old

We Love you!

Love,

Back to work

Well the break for work is over and things are back to normal schedule again. I have missed having lunch at Erica's on Mondays so it was nice to do that again. Today was the first day working with the children in reading lab again, and it went well. They didn't forget the things we taught them before Christmas. At Curves, the gym I go to, we are having a lose 5 pounds in 4 week challenge. I put 5$ in the pot. Last year I lost 9 pounds, someone beat me by 1 pound. This time I'm 5 lbs less then I was at the contest weigh in. I hope to lose at least 5 lbs so I can get my 5$ back. I'm working out every day instead of three times a week. Wish me luck. I'll let you know how I did on Feb. 2nd. I still haven't learned how to add a picture so no before maybe an after.
