OK all you California People. If there is ever a year to come to Utah this is the one!! IT WON"T STOP SNOWING!! We got about 10 inches of snow today. I thought that we would be lucky enough to have Stake Conference cancelled..NO luck!! If the storm would have been tomorrow, I am sure that they would have cancelled school!! It has been an inside recess EVERYDAY since Christmas and the 1st graders are DRIVING ME CRAZY! They have watched every movie in the library and played every game I own...now what??

Logan Swim Meet

OK...I am going to try to keep up on this blog "thing". I work full time, have four kids and a husband we are involved with swim, basketball, piano, school, Young Women's, our callings and now that I have started this blog I feel guilty that I am not doing this either!!

Last weekend we went up to Logan to a swim meet. We stayed at my Aunt Karyn's new house. The kids thought It was greater than a hotel!! Annelise took 9th overall (12-13)...Charlie took 8th overall 9-10) and Courtney took 11th overall 11-12). Had a great time! They are all doing great and are looking forward to the swim camps in the summer. Even though Charlie is purly there for social reasons, he still has fun. His heart is where the football is. In fact I told him that if he got a state time I would buy him a swim deck coat. He replied."Can they embroider a football on the back?"

Book of Mormon Challenge

President Hinckley often stressed our making the Book of Mormon part of our lives. He was 97 when he passed away, and we would like to celebrate his life and teachings by reading the Book of Mormon in 97 days.

President Gordon B. Hinckley on the Book of Mormon
"I take in my hand the Book of Mormon. I read its words. I have read Joseph Smith's explanation of how it came to be. To the unbelieving it is a story difficult to accept, and critics for generations have worn out their lives writing books intended to refute that story and to offer other explanations than the one given by Joseph the Prophet. But to the open-minded, this critical writing has only stimulated them to dig deeper; and the more deeply they dig, the greater the accumulation of evidence for the validity of Joseph Smith's story. Still, as has been demonstrated for a hundred and fifty years, the truth of the Book of Mormon will not be determined by literary analysis or by scientific research, although these continue to be reassuring. The truth about the origins of the Book of Mormon will be determined today and tomorrow, as it has been throughout the yesterdays, by reading the book in a spirit of reverence and respect and prayer."( "Praise to the Man," Ensign, Aug. 1983, 4) -->
