                  Well, we had a great 4-day weekend.  Guy doesn't work on Friday's due to his reduced work schedule.  It was probably a good thing because he injured 2 of his fingers with deep cuts on Thursday, and his fingers needed time to heal. On Friday's he takes Preston to see the NAET Doctor for allergy treatments.  They get up early and have the 8am appointment.  On their way to the doctor's office, they stop off for a little breakfast.  Preston loves the McDonald's McGriddle sandwiches.  Preston's skin seems to be getting a little bit better each week.  Saturday we all got haircuts.  Then I had Cinderella rehearsal where major strides and improvements were made.  Yea!  Sundays are always busy.  We had visiting teaching, home teaching, choir practice, regular meetings where we teach primary, I had to sing in Relief Society, and them make Sunday dinner.  It is exhausting.  We spent the evening visiting with Mom and Dad, and then helped the Welches set up for Addison's Wedding Luncheon.

            Monday, December 13th was my nephew Addison's wedding day. He and Bre and a wonderful couple. Addison knew from the first time he met her on a bus that she was the one for him.  Almost a year later was their 1st date, and a year after that they are married. The day was a mild 48 degrees.  No wind, rain or snow.  The Temple ceremony was sweet.  The couple looked gorgeous.  Wayne and Melinda hosted a wedding luncheon.  It was very nice.  Landon, Monson and Laila put on a little musical review of Addison's and Bre's courtship. My nephews and neices are nothing if not theatrical.  Wayne and Melinda both spoke.  Both said wonderful, well-thought out things.  Very touching and classy.  Later was the reception at Le Jardin in Sandy.  It was beautiful also, and the food was great.

Busy Weekend

          Well, we had a busy and fun weekend.  It started out with going to see the new Harry Potter movie.  Harry Potter and the Deathy Hallows, Part 1.  I liked the movie.  It was a good representation of the book.  Preston watched all 6 previous Harry Potter movies to prepare him for #7.  He is such a funny kid.  He is now reading the book of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by himself.  The book is ridiculously big, but he thinks he can do it.  Sometimes I have to help him with a word or two, but he is such a good reader that he will get it finished in a few months.  On Saturday we went to the matinee performance of A Christmas Carol at Rodger's Memorial Theatre.  Preston liked it, and Guy slept through it.  I didn't appreciate this version.  It was a bit of a mess. Some of the songs seemed out of place, and it didn't touch my heart. I love what they do at HCT a lot more. 

                On Sunday, Preston had to give a talk in Primary.  He did a great job.  He has no stage fright, he speaks up, and he used personal examples of prayers being answered in his talk.  We were very proud of him. After church, my parents came for Sunday dinner.  We had a honey glazed ham and funeral potatoes.  Ymmmy.  So glad they live close and could come for a visit.   

                     Logan came out this weekend.  We always like it when Logan comes.  He is a Jr. in High School now.  He is very funny with a great sense of humor.  He has been taking a pottery class at school and is good at it.  He recently won a $50 gift certificate for having making good pottery at his school.  He spent all $50 on more pottery tools and next he is preparing items for the District Pottery competition.  Wow. 

Logan loves his BMX

Daily Life

Well,  life goes on.  I haven't posted anything in months and months, but I have resolved to get started again.  We went on a wonderful mini-road trip with the Northern Utah Mustang Owners Association (NUMOA) in October.  We joined this club almost a year ago.  It has been a lot of fun.  We went to several car shows in the past few months and have made some new friends.  Guy loves talking about cars, and this club puts him in the room with many men who are of like mind.  I think it is fun also.
