Fun at School

Yesterday we got to do USU's Junior Engineering program at our school. This included an evening family program, so it was a very long day. We were exhausted at the end it, but it was so much fun and we were in the local news. The following is the link to watch (I'm in it, even though I'm disappointed you can't tell yet that I've lost weight): http://videos.heraldextra.com/p/video?id=2983397

Holidays

What an absolutely wonderful time of the year! All of the kids were able to be here for Christmas. Thayne, Natalie, and Tyson got in on the 19th; their plane was on time but had to circle and then wait for a gate as a plane had slid off the runway and had to be cleared before they could land. Sam and Rachel came in the next night. Adam, Kasey, and Adyson came in on the 24th; Ady wasn't sure about the cold when we walked out of the airport! Daniel and Whitney stayed overnight on Christmas Eve, but opted for their own bed in SLC the rest of the time. Ady sure made our day when she called us "mama" and "papa." Here is this year's family photo:

We played Wii and board games, ate snow with Ady, watched movies, went to Leatherby's, took the kids (big and little) to Lehi's pool, laughed a lot, and just had a generally good time. Here are some random pictures:

Grampa got each of the grandkids a Lowe's apron!


Ady had Grampa hold the snow 'cuz it was so cold!

Sometimes Tyson was way too helpful!

Is this concentration or what?

We have been in withdrawal for the last few days as everyone went home. We go back to school tomorrow, so real world, here we come!
