A rush of Birthday's

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU. This is Selah Fay's Birthday party. Talley and Monika both have birthdays this month too. Boston's birthday was Jan 31st and Chelsea's birthday is Valentines day. Sarah's birthday also Valentines day and Jared's birthday on the 25th. Also need to include my Uncle Don's birthday on Tuesday the 9th. That's 8 of the special people in my life!!!

The kids gathered for a picture. Keelee and Tiana both wanted to know why Alex didn't come to the party. It's hard for them to understand he's so far away!! At least you know you were missed Mr. Alex!!
This is the CAKE Tia made for Selah!! It was so cute. Those are heart cookies that she cooked and decorated and then put them on the cake and turned them into flowers! I thought she was very creative. Good job Tia!!! Selah's lucky to have you for a mom!!



BEAUTIFUL DAY OF SNOWSHOEING

Ted & I went in the west hills of the valley we live in and found a fun place to spend the afternoon. It was a glorious warm winter day. The trees were beautiful and nothing but the quiet gentle sounds of the woods could be heard.

We found Snowshoe Rabbit tracks in the snow and also the tracks of elk. We were quiet and the only sound we heard was the crunch made as our snowshoes hit the snow with each step.
There were some fascinating views of how the snow lay in the bushes and trees. The picture doesn't do justice to how we felt.




Adjusing our snowshoes. It was only the 2nd time we have snowshoed this year.














Hope this provides a small glimpse into a wonderful day. Even the sky was magnificent looking.




Goals being Fullfilled

It's only the 9th of February and
I finished my 2nd puzzle and read my 2nd book. I read "All I Ever Needed to Know I learned in Kindergarten" by Robert Folghum. It was an interesting book. His view makes you think about some things.
I also started my indexing for Family History again. My goal is to acceed 1000 names a month. I should be able to do that easily. Indexing is a wonderful service to give to the Family History Program of the church.
My goal to attend the temple is working also. We attended the Idaho Falls temple, the Rexburg Temple and the Salt Lake Temple in January. For February we attended the Rexburg temple once so far....and our plans are to attend the Twin Falls Idaho Temple next week. For all of our friends in India you may know that Pres. Nelson who served as mission president to India lives in Twin Falls. I understand he is in the temple presidency????? I'll tell you for sure after next week. I'm hoping we get to meet him.
