From Elder Ellis "well us and the elders from clark lake went and got 30 mcnuggets each... needless to say i could only manage about 17 of them... elder perkins had like 37 elder smith had like 37 and elder barker had 30... so i lost but i was ok with that... later on in the week when we had exchanges i was with elder barker and elder perkins and elder smith were together elder perkins and smith went back and ate 60 a piece... yeah needless to say elder perkins had a stomach ache on sunday morning lol it was pretty funny but thats so disgusting... it really reminded me why i dont ever eat mcdonalds... NASTY!!!"
From Elder Ellis: " well monday night it snowed and we had the hardest time getting back up to our apartment in the snow in the car lol... we had to avoid the biggest hill in the mission becuase of the snow and we never would have made it up if we wouldnt have taken side streets lol... here is a picture of me and my snow angel

Kaylee's blue fades and she gets a pink streak
RANDOM JANUARY HAPPENINGS
*We laughed at Koda as he was into EVERYTHING one day. He kept getting Kaylee's shoe no matter where she put it. Then he got the OTHER shoe and started. He's funny to watch. He went after my pepsi, the comics, my camera, the doggie poop bags, everything! He had his little surgery ...so that's been a little challenging to watch so he doesn't lick in the wrong spot. We also feed him pain meds in a little syringe tube that he LOVES. And I love because I give them to him at 7am and then he falls back asleep with me for a couple of hours.
*We got 4 inches on Wed morning. On my way up to SLC--it rained all day...but about 5:00 Wed night...wowee....we're were in a blizzard (a real one...as opposed to that fake one they predicted last month). We probably have at least another couple of inches..but the wind is whipping it around fiercely. We hunkered down once everyone got home and didn't go anywhere on Thursday. Except Garrin of course. He was going down that hill by Bishop Dixon's house and was going very slow...I think he said like 5-10mph and when he went to turn right....he slid and almost went into the ravine. He got stuck in the snow and a truck was right behind him and pulled him out. When I woke up Thurs....I was SOOO glad that I didn't have to be to work that day!!
*So.....don't know if it was because of the fog---or talking to so many kids over the loudness of the music---but started losing my voice Wed night after Kaylee's birthday party at Classic Skating. By Thursday it was GONE and I was really tired all day and didn't feel good. So...I kind of slept in, and sat around the house until the girls got home---just resting and reading mostly. Had to do a bunch of errands after that. I wasn't sure how I would work with no voice on Friday---but got to work and had a tiny voice. I asked someone to trade me jobs as I was suppose to be on phones...and I knew my voice wouldn't last the day on there!
*Koda keeps coming over and laying on me while I'm trying to type. He puts his head on my hand while I'm typing and I can't type. I throw his chew stick (to get him off of me) and he runs and gets it and jumps back up and settles on my chest where I can't see to type. We move him over to Garrin, he comes back over on me...it's funny. Guess he wants me today.
*So a funny GREAT thing we did Garrin and I were exhausted and when I was at Petsmart earlier this week---I saw something called "Bark Off". It's suppose to send a high pitched noise that the dog doesn't like when you turn it on and they bark. We were so tired of him barking after we put him in his kennel at night after taking him out to go to the bathroom. He was waking up a minimum of 3 times (including the last one about 5:30 am when I was getting up). We had decided that we were no longer sitting up with him after taking him out to the bathroom---so we just put him back in his cage and he would bark for about 45 min before settling back down, then a few hours later---he'd be up barking again. We had been doing this "bark it out" for a week. We were so tired!!! He just wasn't settling in...so I decided to buy it---sent Shawnee there on her way home from work. You would not BELIEVE how that thing works!!!! He barked a couple of times..then kind of whined...then tiny yelps...then....silence!!! Wow. A few hours later...ONE bark...then nothing. Garrin got him up after 6 hours and took him out---put him in---and NOTHING. SILENCE!!!! it's been that way ever since. We put him down 9 on week night and 11 on weekends and he goes right to sleep. He wakes up ONCE 6 hours later---we quickly take him out and put him back---and silence...and for us...SLEEP!! It's awesome!
*We went last night and did baptisms. It was an Elder's Quorum activity. Jaycee has a couple of more months before she can go----so she had to stay home alone. She wasn't too happy about that. She doesn't like to be home alone at night. She ended up having a few friends over so that she wasn't scared. I did 4 names that were family names..and the girls did other names. It was really nice. Jaycee and Kaylee went and worked at the shop yesterday and then Dad and I did a bunch of errands. So a pretty typical Saturday.
