Every summer for about the last three years I have tried to reserve tickets to tour the Denver Mint. And they are ALWAYS sold out. For the entire summer. But recently they changed the system to where they distribute all tickets for the day every morning at 7:00am. I REAALLLLY wanted to take the kids,…
We decided to throw a mini staycation into our Spring Break. We had a free night on hotels.com and so we booked at the new Great Wolf Lodge. It turned out to be the perfect couple days for it. Outside was rainy and snowy, and we were having a blast swimming inside in 80 degrees….
Most of our week was just spend hanging at home. It felt like a really nice break. We slept late, played with friends and had mass amounts of screen time. S’mores with the Rowberrys. Jon and Larraine were here helping out and it was fun to spend the evening with them. Larraine also made a…
The sun is out and Spring is coming! I was enjoying a little nap at the park before this cute monkey jumped on my back. I teach the 7 year olds turning 8 in Primary. We had a lesson on King Benjamin that was pretty fun. I think Max makes a very regal king. Josie…

Halle and I flew to Utah for Jack’s Baptism. It was such a fun weekend and I’m so glad we got to be there. Jack is so funny. He was up on the stand for a little bit and was just pulling faces to the audience the entire time. We were all laughing pretty hard….
We set our yearly goals at FHE. I was in a pretty grumpy mood, so I didn’t really give my best effort. Halle hung hers on the wall. A couple of weeks later the boys made her super mad. So she ripped off her bottom goal that was about being nicer to her brothers. LOL!…
About 1/2 way through December we realized we were a couple hundred points short of earning our Southwest companion pass for next year. We called to ask what our options were and they told us the only thing we could do was get on a plane. So, that’s what we did! Rusty had a voucher…
The kids kept with tradition of sleeping in. They didn’t get up till about 7:30. And then they ran in and pounced on Dad to wake him up. After we got Dad up and Grandma and Grandpa downstairs, the kids came out to see that Santa had come! Blake went first. He read his…
We all gathered at Brett and Brittany’s for delicious food and great company. We played our usual white elephant game and introduced Grandpa Glenn to Virtual Reality glasses. It was awesome.
