January

It is time for my monthly report.

My exciting news that is keeping me going through the fog and inversion is that I am going to Hawaii with my roommates from college. We have one adopted roommate that lives there. Let's just say it is really a huge accomplishment that all 5 of us found a date that would work and have great husbands that assured us they could live without us for a week. It is going to rock (metamorphic)!

I got called to teach CTR 8 in Primary. There are 16 kids in my class, and about 12 of them come. They did just call me a team teacher. They are funny. They can't stop bugging the person next to them and they say every thought that comes into their head. I am still the Enrichment leader, too. Luckily our ward is pretty laid back, so it is not too intense.

In other blog-type news, I had to use 1 of my 100 texts this morning to have Austin come home from school to jump start my van because the battery was dead from having a door left open all night. Thank goodness we live close to his work.

This month, my family has been to the orthopedic surgeon, the rheumatologist, the dentist, the chiropractor, and the orthodontist. We really are a pretty healthy family.

Austin did the Polar Plunge for the 4th year to raise money for Special Olympics. Don't you like the hat?

This is Hanna waiting at the edge of the water with Austin's towel.

We definitely live in a girly house. One night over Christmas break, the girls performed a whole dance show. They even hooked up a curtain thingy to the ceiling fan so they could stand on the kitchen table and make a grand entrance. Carly is right in the middle of it all. They are training her well.


Also, in her spare time, Jill decided to do a photo shoot of Lucy and Carly.


Going back a few weeks, we went to visit Grandpa and Grandma during Christmas break. My Dad recently had back surgery, so they had Austin put in a new dishwasher for them. It turned into in all day experience, but now they have a new dishwasher. We will frame this photo of Austin because his home-fix-it projects don't come around very often. (I hope he doesn't read this:)

Oh my gosh. I LOVE the photo shoot by Jill. Awesome. The last picture cracked me up.

And I can't even look at the Polar Bear plunge pics. They make my heart stop and make me want to cry out in pain. AUghhhhh! It should be illegal!! (:

I love your monthly reports! The combination of the hat and the big pink beach towel is fabulous. My favorite is the picture of Randy sitting close by to supervise the dishwasher installation. Awesome. And, I love the Glamour Shots by Jill. So cute!

Do you have your primary kids sit boy-girl? We did that last week and it made a huge difference. We also had the extremely hyper, “I’ve only been to church 12 times in my whole life” kid come. I think he made everyone else seem really well behaved. :)

I totally could have turned that into at least 10 blog entries. You always were the efficient one.

Hey Quality! I am so jealous that you are going to Hawaii! When is that trip scheduled for? Looks like you guys had a great Christmas. Austin is so good with the school kids and is very much involved with them. Your girls are so cute and growing up so much!!! I love your hairdo these days. You look way cute! Thanks for the update!
