Puter Time

Today I did just enough house work to allow myself to play on the computer without guilt. I'm not talking "company is coming" clean, but good enough that I wouldn't be terribly embarrassed if someone showed up unannounced (no floor inspections, please).

I have number of holiday projects in mind, along with other computer related tasks that I HAVE to get going. I also wanted to play with "pinterest" and wanted to have time to surf fun sites. Today is my day. I'll take a couple minutes to update:

Baby Quilt -

A sweet friend had a baby this year. It was her first girl, 4th kiddo. Aubrey and I wanted to do something special, so we made this quilt. Aubrey picked out the fabric because it was bright and fun. It is a basic rag quilt, extra large (as both the parents are soooo tall it is guaranteed that this girl will be long). It was fun to do a craft project with Bree.

Band-

Brandon has been enjoying high school quite a lot. Getting everything done has been a struggle, but overall it's been very positive. He is playing the bari-sax in marching band and LOVES it. Great kids, automatic friends, football games. Right now the season is winding down and he's been extra busy every weekend with tournaments. We don't get to spend much time with him right now, but it's sooo worth it. Here he is after playing the Poway Days Parade.

Biz Town -

Jon had a great field trip this year to Biz Town where he had the opportunity to take on a job, understand a checking account, and learn about business loans. He had to interview for 3 job choices. He was picked to be the town's Judge. He loved it. He was interviewed in the Biz town TV station, was able to try 3 cases (mostly students caught running), and other responsibilities. Such a great experience!!!


Brian and I have both gone through church calling changes. He's now 1st Counselor in the Elders Quorum and gets lots of opportunities to visit members of the ward. I've sadly been released from the Young Women (after 4 years). I was called to work with the Activity Girls (8-9 year old girls) and also as Stake Humanitarian specialist. With both callings, I get to work with some pretty neat people. It has been quite a change for me to adjust to, but I'm enjoying it all.
