Catching Up

Its been a busy last couple of weeks. Dale was released from being Branch President in the YSA Branch and we were shipped back to the 5th ward. I was called to be Stake Relief Society President and plunged into ward conferences and speaking assignments. But wanted to post some pictures that I had good intentions of blogging about that will only get a few words of explanation. I tended Cam and Mary's kids one evening last month and took them to a Jerome High School basketball game. They enjoyed it and here is Bailey pointing out the cheerleaders and Braden sporting the lei we all wore for Hawaiian night.
Malia wanted a ribbon in her hair when Collette did Bailee's. Treats kept her happy during the game. Girls on the stairs before the game.

Collette auditioned at U of U for grad school on Saturday, Feb. 14th. We stayed overnight at
Polly's and after the audition had a great visit in American Fork with Julie at Heritage. Dix, Brent, Sonya, Polly, and Dave came and visited, too. My good friend Arlene Heiner and her husband, John came by and visited for a minute. It sure was great to see everyone. We met up with Dennis and Katie at Cafe Rio for lunch before we headed home. When we arrived back, we joined Jef, Sarah, and family and Cam, Mary, and family at theMandarin House for a Valentine's dinner. Here are Braden, Mason, and Bailee enjoying the food!

Logan joining in the craziness. Cole's cute smile and Ella trying to figure out who's taking the picture!

Malia trying out her chopsticks. It was fun to see everyone. Dale took his girls for a Valentine's treat at Cold Stone Ice Cream to top off the day. Will blog more later when time allows! (pictures didn't turn out too bad, considering most of them were taken with my camera phone)

Looks like you really had a great time. I didn't know you were called to be stake relief society president. What a good call-lucky stake. John and I had a great time visiting you and your family. Thanks so so much for calling. Love to see you next time you're in town. Who knows maybe one day we'll be up your way.

Love the pictures! So fun to have family and to have them close enough to hang with them

You are going to be so great in your new calling! I just love to see your grandkids. Every family photo album needs a pic of a kid with olives on their fingers. Such cute faces! (ps: you look fabulous!)

You and Dale just keep trading off with the heavy duty callings. You will be wonderful as you are so loving and sweet, compassionate, and caring. The sisters of your Stake will feel the blessing of your leadership, and so will you!
Congratulations! Congratulate Dale for finally getting some time off, that is until the next call arrives. XOXO
