New Little Piggies

We have a new batch of babies! Nelly had 10, but lost one from being stepped on and two were stillborn...:(
We have one that is all black except for the front feet are pink. So cute! I will post pictures soon! These are fair worthy pigs, so if you need a fair pig or know someone that does, give us a call!

Pony Express

Brianna has been learning about the Pony Express. She read a book called Riding the Pony Express, and then has been working on a report. She has done research on the internet and found out many neat facts. She has started working on a diorama depicting a rider on the Pony Express. When she is finished I will post the final project with a video of her reporting on what she learned!

Homemade Pizza. YUM!
Gotta love homemade pizza...



...And the helpers!





Lookin' good...

Believe it or Not...

So, Zach and I have decided that Brianna is old enough and responsible enough to be left in charge of the boys. I will leave them for about 2 hours every Wednesday while I go to teach music just down the road. I wish I had a picture to show all of you what my house looked like last night when we returned from a work party and Zach's parents house at 8:45 PM...
The kitchen was spotless, dishes were done, their laundry was put away (how neatly is debatable), and they were in bed! Brianna wasn't quite asleep when I went in her room to give her loves, so I asked her how things went. She said that she almost forgot to read scriptures with Jason, but then remembered and said prayers and they finished and at 8:30 exactly (which is bed time). What an amazing girl we have! I don't think we are quite ready to leave them for a weekend get away, but I think in a year or so, we might be able to sneak off to the movies...

Gardner Village!

My best friend Heather and I love to take mini excursions to Salt Lake to visit Gardner Village. It is a such a fun place. All the stores are in little cottages. There is everything from craft boutiques to a spa (which one of these times we will schedule a pedicure!), to a fabulous restaurant, to a candy store, to a quilt shop. Some of our favorites are Pine Needles (a needlepoint store), The Big Quilt Store (not really the name, but it's the really big one), and our new fav- the Wild about the West Store! We had a trip this last fall, right before Witches Night Out- come dressed as your best witch self- and we loved it! We seem to be there when all the madness happens around this event! This trip may have been the best yet. That may have something to do with the fact that we were kidless...maybe. We ran into a friend from church that had since moved to the other side of our little valley. Of course it was at the Wild West Store. Fitting, as we all have an affinity for the western lifestyle! She took a picture and sent it our way! Thanks Monica! Notice how we often dress similar...
The couch in the background on the left is my couch! Just have to save about 2 Grand!
