Jill & Hanna got bundled up and Austin took them to bottle feed calves at a dairy in our ward. They do it for a little extra spending money.
I went to my first day to pick up my Bountiful Basket. It is a non-profit co-op where you pay $15 and get 2 round laundry baskets full of fresh fruits and vegetables. It is becoming a big deal around here. You sign up on Tuesday on the internet and then you pick it up on Saturday(most sites are at elementary schools). They have sites all over Utah, Idaho and Arizona (and they are adding more all of the time.)
Austin went and rode our horse, Lena, in the snow at our friend's arena.
Jill had two basketball games. She is on a competitive 5th-6th team that Austin coaches. Her team played so good, so much better than their first game in this league. They won the second game. Hanna sits on the bench with the team, and Lucy fell asleep on the bleachers right behind the team.
I went straight to the team roping. I started my job again of being the bookkeeper at a team roping that they have at the indoor arena every other Saturday night. It is my way of earning my spending $ for Hawaii.
Austin went to the priesthood leadership session of stake conference, home to fix the girls some scrambled eggs, and back to the adult session. I made it to the end of stake conference after the roping was over. We have an apostle visiting our stake, Elder Neil L. Anderson.
Jill and Hanna stayed with Lucy and Carly for the afternoon/evening. I can't describe what a feeling of freedom it is to have kids old enough to babysit and to have a baby that doesn't cry anymore when Mom & Dad aren't in sight. They decorated the house for Lucy's birthday and watched movies.
Then we all went to Arctic Circle for milkshakes after we got home from stake conference.

I can't believe you kids are that old already, my how time flies!
That is a busy Saturday. We've been having lazy Saturdays lately. Some members of our family (who will remain nameless) stayed in their pajamas all day yesterday. Nate and I did leave Ben and Emily in charge for 15 minutes while we ran to the store. That is our first time leaving the kids alone. I'm looking forward to when I dare leave them for a whole hour.
I might check out that Bountiful Basket thing. It seems like a good deal.
Happy birthday to Lucy today!
Wow-what a deal on the produce! Do you know if there is anything like that in my neck of the woods? How can I find out? Produce here is expensive.
