John's "New" Truck

We bought this 1983 Ford F150 from our old Elders Quorum President. It's OLD, but it runs great, and it was in our price range. John is having lots of fun fixing it up. Let us know if you know a good place to get a replacement tailpipe!

Valentines Video for Anna

Here is a little video I made for Anna. I was going to burn it onto DVDs, but I guess our computer doesn't think we have a DVD burner. That's why it's on our blog.

Enjoy!

Sick Day

We've all been sick this week, and at the recommendation of John's mom we came home early from Island Park to take Joshua to the medical clinic in Rexburg, since there isn't one close to the cabin. After the test confirmed that Joshua did, indeed, have the flu, which means that all the rest of us have it too, since we've all had the same yucky symptoms, we picked up the prescription for Joshua and headed home to crash. John took care of the kids while I laid down (what a nice husband!) and when I came out again this is what I found. Actually, Adam was still nodding off when I came out there, so I leaned him over and he promptly fell asleep.

Snow Day

We went up to a cabin in Island Park last night. John has a friend whose grandpa lives there, and so we went up so John could help his friend clear snow off roofs and porches and earn a little extra money in the process. There was so much snow! Two feet, at least, in the driveway, and more in other places. John's friend, Josh, cleared a path for us and then he and John cleared the rest of the driveway while we sat in the house, nice and comfy.

John carved my name in the snow as they were clearing the driveway. What a husband I have!

Clearing the driveway...

The final product:

...and there isn't a car under there...

Just a Note

I've just posted lots of our family movies--we sure love these little boys God has blessed us with! They are our treasure, and we wouldn't trade them for all the riches of the world. When it comes down to it, what matters most is family...thank you for being part of ours. We love you.
