Mom & Dad are missing our baby Sarah who is in Utah visiting with her BYU sibs.
This is also another little test of Dad's slide converter. These slides are taken in Hawaii. (I guess we owe the rest of you kids a trip there one day. Altho' Sarah flew for free.)
Today is a day for some busy bees. Sarah is speaking in church, Dad is doing two of the sessions for Ward Conference, Rachel is giving her lesson, Katie is doing singing time, Dallin and Jason are probably teaching the Young Men, Stefanie is helping Primary going smoothly (Are you sharing time today?) Robb and Marybeth just put on a whole breakfast for their ward and worked in the temple last night, Jeff plays the piano - Let's hear about your day today. Brag a little - we would love to hear how it went.
Last night was New Beginnings. The Laurels were in charge of decorations and Sarah enlisted Dad's help to make an eight foot light house. Of course he did it in grand fashion.
Here are our beautiful Young Women.
We now have 5 Laurels. They are a beautiful bunch of girls. Celia Reed was the keynote speaker. It was a wonderful night.
Sarah and Centre Stage finished a great run with LIGHTS 2009 - CURTAIN UP!. Robb, Marybeth and Rachel came down for the 3 day weekend and went with Mom nnd Dad to closing night. 
We are so proud of Sarah.
Here are a few snipets of the show ... as much as I can put together before work. The show opens tonight. Sarah is GREAT!!! (Video is by Mom.) 
Paisley was much more happy to go to primary this week! She had fun singing the songs and had a blast in class. She is our cute sunbeam!
The web site is filled with video, audio, podcasts, downloads, printable sheet music, widgets, resources and links for all things YOUTH.
Listen to a sample song while you check things out...
There is a whole list of songs to which one can LISTEN, or DOWNLOAD.
We will miss having a 20 month old bouncing around the house who makes all the true joys of life more joyful
We miss sweet, helpful, loving Grandma H. who carols, cooks, hikes, house helps and sitesees like a 29 year old and is just plain fun to be around.
We miss our BYU singles who make life fun and exciting with their happy, laughing, busy, techno lives and having them sleep in "their" beds for a few nights.
We miss Katie and Dallin who spent so much time at 336 sharing their life and time and goodly example with us, as well as their gaming and having fun all the time.
Oh, and did I mention we (especially Grandma) miss the bright, steal-the- show presence of little miss Elizabeth.
As Paisley is now in her 4th of life we are excited for her new step into Primary. She is the youngest and newest member of primary in our ward. Today she had a lot of fun as you can tell with her great accessories from primary. Sharing time was a fun treasure hunt which captivated her attention. During singing time her and her cute sunbeam friends were being ballerinas and twirling all around. This morning on the way to church as we talked once again of her joining primary she said "I won't go, I hate it!" very forcefully. After such a fun day I think she will be really excited to return to primary each week.
Oh the wonderful wonders of technology that even tho' Jason/Stefanie/Paisley were in Kansas and Robb/Marybeth were in Boston we were "all together" on New Years Day for our annual Prediction Home Evening . The togetherness was afforded by three lap tops + one computer + four web cams. Oh! Don't we live in a marvelous age?
