Happy New Year 2024! I can't believe it's January already and we are on to another new year. 2023 seemed to fly by! 2023 was a great year, and we're excited for what 2024 has in store for us all! Here are some highlights to the 1st week in January.
On Tuesday, January 2nd, it was our 15th year anniversary! Dave and Joann we kind and offered to come sit w/ the boys so we could go to the temple and do sealings. We had a really small group, so the sealer took the time to educate us as we went on the sealing ordinances. Once we finished all of our family names and most of what another guy brought, he talked w/ us further about some of the promises in the sealing ordinances. It was really amazing and eye opening. The Spirit was strong!
Great thoughts. Silly Hudson trying my lip-gloss on. Steve and I at the Draper Temple on our anniversary. Dave getting attacked with silly string from Carter.
I went into work on Wednesday. The SLC Temple is making progress, along w/ the rest of temple square. Silly Piper w/ her ear up in the air. Steve smoked a pork butt for Dave that night since we were headed out of town to my parent's place the next day. Dave wanted it for our family dinner on Sunday, but since we weren't going to be back in time to smoke it then, Steve did it ahead of time. Steve just put it in vacuum sealed bags to preserve it. It turned out super yummy!
On Thursday, Steve checked the boys out of school 1 hour early so we could head up to my parent's place. I worked until 2pm, then we loaded up and left. Hudson fell asleep during some of it.
Friday morning, Steve and Nyles met up w/ Mark Gasper, his son, and another neighbor, and went goose hunting. Nyles shot his first goose, a snow goose!
Good work boys!
We went to visit my grandma VaLere while they were gone. Carter and Hudson had to play w/ the cat. Later my mom and I put together a cat puzzle that Rose gave her for Christmas.
While we were gone, Piper was at K9, playing fetch.
Saturday, they went out again. This time they got Canadian Geese.
They had another great hunt!
The boys had to go on a motorcycle ride w/ Grandpa.
Barbara came down w/ Dallin and Calley as well. We then went over to visit Grandma Valere.
Hudson, Grandma VaLere, Dallin, Carter and Calley. Then w/ Barbara and I.
We had fun playing games. It was great seeing everyone and visiting!
Mom, Steve, Nyles, Carter, Dad, Carter and me. We left to go home Sunday morning.
It was a cold, snowy morning. There was cows just crossing the road.
Thankfully Hudson fell asleep on the way home. It started snowing as we got closer to Idaho.
It got down to one lane for a while, which was scary, but we got through to dry roads again, and made it home safely in pretty good time.
We had snow at home as well, so the boys were excited to go play in it.
Piper was happy to be home and to play ball in the snow!
