We just got back from a fun trip to St. George. It was a good time to go too because Hyrum had a snow storm during the weekend and came home to about 4 inches of snow. In St. George we just got a little rain but the temperatures were great. I was even able to go for a 3 mile run one morning without a jacket.
Before we headed south, Logan was able to perform in the Mountain Crest High School talent show with his preschool class. They did such a good job and all of the high schoolers loved their dance and cheered so loudly for them.
For their dance they performed to the song "Watch Me" They whipped and nae-nae-ed so well up there on the stage. The dance was so funny to watch but they did a great job. They performed twice because there were two assemblies. It was so fun to watch. All of the high school kids that performed were awesome as well. There are some pretty talented kids in this school!
After the talent show, we headed down to St. George. The reason we were going down was so that Russell could attend Winter Fire School through UFRA. He attended classes all day on Friday and Saturday and learned a ton. He also had a great time.
While Russell was at class, the kids and I hung out at my parents' house and played with cousins. We also spent the weekend bottling meat. Pork was on a great sale so we bought a ton of it and bottled it up for later. We bought around 80 or more pounds of pork roasts between my mom, Lacie, Haley, and me. We spent the weekend cutting, browning, and pressure canning the meat and came out with somewhere around 35 quarts, 18 pints, and 34 half pints of meat. It was a lot of work but the meat turned out so good. We opened two bottles and added barbecue sauce and had pulled pork sandwiches for lunch on Saturday. It was so delicious. While we worked, the kids had a great time playing with their cousins. It was so fun.
It seems like the only pictures I take these days are of Charlotte. Maybe because she is so dang cute!
She is getting so lovable toward her dolls lately. As long as her baby is wrapped in a blanket, she will carry it around and love on it all day. She gives it kisses and hugs and them puts it on the couch to let the baby take a nap. It is so cute.
The second picture is of Charlotte being locked in the jail made by her brothers and dad. They built this jail out of Charlotte's foam letters and then put her in it and shut the door. Aren't they mean! Well Charlotte thought it was so cool but then she knocked down the walls like the Hulk.
This picture was taken at Grandma's house after Grandma made a yummy peanut butter cake. Charlotte loved licking the beaters afterward. She was in heaven and the cake batter was all over her face. Love it!
Also an important thing happened this week for the Church. On Tuesday, January 16, the church held a special meeting and announced the new First Presidency.
The new prophet of the church is President Russell M. Nelson, and his counselors are: first, Dallin H. Oaks, and second, Henry B. Eyring. After they were announced, each one of them spoke and shared their testimonies. I was really impressed with their testimonies and their love for each other and the members of the church. I truly believe this will be a great first presidency just as the others were. I am excited to hear and learn from them in the future.
