Starting again

So, it has been quit awhile since I have blogged on the family blog. Most of what is happening has been posted on Braden's blog. But so much is happening that I guess it is time to start this one up again.

Paige is off to college at BYU Idaho and loving it. Even thought it has been very cold. She gets along with all of her roommates . And because she tool our Wii with her, they are the happening place when classes are over.

Hope had her tonsils and adenoids out. She had extra adenoid tissue so she came out of surgery with a few extra sore spots.  The poor thing was pretty touchy for about 10, yes, 10 days.  She is her happy self now.

We have struggled with her for about 6 months to go to primary on her own. But she just won't do it.  So, when the new year came around we made a big deal out of getting new teachers and she should go and show them how reverent she could sit. Guess what, she has the same teacher.  So, of course all of that was for not.  I came up with another plan that she could be anchorage of the kids in her class and see how reverent they are and then give them a treat when class was over. I bought a bag of dumb dumb suckers and sent some with her. It worked. She stayed in class by herself.  This week however was Stake Conference. We'll have to see how things go next week.

As part of the Stake Relief Society Presidency, I got to help make and serve dinner to the Stake Presidency, their wives and Elder Ence (probably spelt wrong) and his wife, dinner last night in-between the Stake meetings.  Everything went smoothly and clean up was even fast and easy. I guess, after 2 years of experience of serving other meals both big and small has paid off.

Stake conference was great as usual.  Our stake theme this year is Reverence for sacred things brings faith in Jesus Christ. What a great thing to focus on this year.
