A Victim

Some of the youth in our ward got to be victims for CERT training.  Erica's injury was not too severe.

Governor's Ball

Mom and Dad Andersen, who are diving deeper into the political scene, came to visit so they could attend the Governor's Ball.

A Music Lesson

There is never an idle minute when Grandma and Grandpa come to visit.  They have been known to give the kids an art lesson, paint rocks, and teach them the Irish jig in their spare time. Today they had some free time and decided to give all the younger kids a music lesson.  Grandma even got Thomas to play a little duet with Erica.

Mrs. Idaho

We had some of the women who will be participating in the Mrs. Idaho pageant at our home to watch last year's pageant.  Aren't they all beautiful.  I'm particularly found of Mrs. Twin Falls.  Check out the hair color on all of them.  Hummm . . . I wonder if Mrs. Idaho will be a brunette this year?

Thomas and Allie

I don't really have a reason for posting this picture except that I thought it was sweet.  Thomas playing the piano for Allie.  Allie watching so intently.

Saver's

I know I have said this before, but I LOVE $0.99 Mondays at Saver's.  Check out this coat Todd found for Thomas . . . $0.99.

Puzzles and Beards

We always seem to do a puzzle or two around the holidays.  We were a little late getting started this year.  But still managed to put a couple together.

Check out that beard on my husband.  It came in a little bit grayer than last time he grew one.  He didn't shave when he was home the week before Christmas and just decided to let it keep growing.  It's gone already, back to being clean shaved.

Not Too Late for Gingerbread

Niko wasn't with us on the day we decorated gingerbread houses so I promised him I would save some supplies so he could make one when he got back.
