Sunday Night

This picture must have been taken before they developed the dress and grooming standards at BYU. Actually it was up the canyon (Vivian Park) just before Brant was born.

This is great. About 8:00 Sunday evenings the blog comes to life. Everyone starts to post the weeks activities from their families. I love reading them. The pictures help too.

This week Bishop Berglunds's mom died. She had been fighting some rare disease and it finally got her. She was 80 years old. They had the funeral at Shorts. It was mostly old time farmers with only 6 LDS people there. After the funeral they had a reception type thing at our church on Mountainview. Steve said it was probably the first time some of those old timers had set foot in a Mormon church. He needed a projector to hook to a laptop to show the power point of his mom growing up. He came and asked me if it was OK. I told him for the average member the answer was no, but I would gladly get the projector for him. It's not what you know it's who you know.

Today it hailed, snowed and sun shined. It's that time of the year in Moscow. Remember mowing lawns? I can sure live without that stress.

Tomorrow Mom and I are both off work so we will probably do what we usually do - nothing. Mom has some school work to do and I need to order the food for a luncheon I'm in charge of in Kennewick on Wednesday.

That's about it for now. We love you all.

Nursery!!!

Today was Weston's first day of Nursery!!! It didn't even phase him. All week I've been telling him how exciting today would be as his first day with the other kids. He couldn't wait to get there. The past couple of weeks he has found his way to the toys, but Seth has had to drag him out. We kept peeking in on him during the two hours, he even saw Grandpa once and it didn't bother him. So our kid either really loves toys or has no attachment to us...
Nothing else exciting to report. We're narrowing in on our final day at Creekside, we've tentatively decided on April 30th as the last day and then we would have the next two weeks to move. If all works out as planned Seth won't have to work during finals and I could pack everything up to move out right after the semester is over. That's if all works out as planned...
Seth and I are giving talks on Sunday about the importance and blessings of attending our Sabbath day meetings. Anyone have cool stories or thoughts about the subject???

Brant's Post

Time for another post this week. The picture of the week is not family appropriate, so will not be posted. It involved Katie chewing on some femine hygeine products, or what we like to call "fruit roll-ups."

Last night was our family get together at Erik's. It was fun to get together and let all the kids play together. I feel bad that we do not get together more. It seems like we all get busy and the next thing you know it has been several months since we last saw each other.

Friday, we went to another musical. This time is was a local high school's production of State Fair. I had two priest's in the play. They did a good job and sang some really good numbers. One of the boys was in barbershop quartet singing about the love of their lives- no, not women- PIGS! We sat with several other members from the ward and it was a fun evening out.

The rest of the week was spent in various activities. Monday, I canned applesauce for humanitarian day at the cannery. Tuesday, I went along as a chaperone for Tyler's field trip to the Arvada Center. We saw some art work, made pastel drawings, and saw a show about dinosaurs. It was fun to get to know the kids in his class. Thursday, Les helped in Ty's class with the Valentine's party. They had fun and came home with lots of candy. I finally by the end of the week had had enough of sweets. (Did you ever think you would hear me say that!)

That's all folks!!!

Boys and Toys

Erik took the boys for a test ride on Richdell's new excavator on Friday. They didn't stay outside long because the wind was freezing! Braxton says that they went to the dinosaur museum on Friday. Then they visited daddy's work, that's where we rode the excavator. They tried to grab daddy with the scooper. They tried to grab Kanyon too, while he was on the skid steer.

Weekend at the Zoo

So this weekend cousin Michelle decided that it was time for us to go to the zoo. So we did. Kelly's favorite part were the elephants (since there weren't any sea lions). I liked the gorillas. This is a picture of T-rav taking a "cat nap" just before he growled at the little girl and scared her half to death.
