Christmas Exchange 2009

August Happenings

August has been more normal than July. Cheryl came for a couple of days with Whitney and Reagan. We went to the zoo and shopping as well as visited Grandma H. Grandma enjoyed the visit. Whitney liked swinging at the playground at Willow Park in Logan. We went to the new Walmart in south Logan. It is huge and very modern.

Dave and Kim came up Sunday evening and stayed over till Tuesday when they went to their friend, Josh's wedding.

I've been going to Curves since January, three times a week. In July my friend, Deanna fell out of a cherry tree and broke her ankle and can't do the exercise thing so I have to go alone. It's much harder to go without a friend. We encouraged each other. Today I plan to go. Bye for now.

Spring Cleaning 101

Springtime-cleantime!
Do you have any good ideas or tips for spring cleaning? (organizing, cleaning tips, time-savers)

Example:
This fall we had some people come clean our windows on the outside. The guys cleaning it told me all they use is Dawn dishsoap and some water. I think it's about 1 TB soap to 1 quart water.
Anyway, it doesn't leave behind filmy residue like Windex or other glass cleaners do. They also said you can use it on mirrors and car windshields!

Having Fun With Grandpa

Mom and Dad's New Kitchen

Check out Mom and Dad's new kitchen remodeling. New flooring, new countertops, and new paint. Looks good!

Reagan's Baby Blessing

Anyone who'd like to come up for Reagan's baby blessing is surely more than welcome. I know it's a long distance for most everyone so I don't expect you to come. But you're definitely invited! We'll be blessing her on May 3rd here in Rigby. Our sacrament meeting starts at 9:30.
