Cast, Church, Lagoon, Tai Pan, Free Food, 4's, Football, and a Race Track

***Since going private, I have neglected posting. I think I have been too busy trying to get everyone invited!! There are several things to catch up on.

***Jentri's cast came off, but she still had a limp for the following week! After many prayers, and a blessing, she is doing great! Dan's back is better. It started feeling better a few days before the big test. So, he hasn't been back to physical therapy. Hopefully it will stay that way. If he has problems again, Danny has graciously volunteered a physical therapist from one of his facilities that he and Dan play basketball with to help Dan. Hopefully he will only have to see Lincoln for basketball games. (Thanks Danny)

***We had the opportunity to clean the church one Saturday morning with our neighbors. It only took an hour and a half, but it was a great experience. The kids had a fun time, and really helped!
***We got to go to Lagoon on the last day of Frightmares. We went early enough that we walked on every ride, and only were there for 2 hours. That was superb! The kids had fun and atleast got to go to Frightmares once!







***I actually talked Dan into going to Tai Pan for a little while. We had only been there a few minutes when 3 of the 6 Briscoe brothers showed up!! It was fun to see them they had been forced into going by their wives. Yes, Dan had someone to talk to while I look around. He was a good sport!
***We had the opportunity to attend the adult session (thanks C & J) and the Sunday session of Stake Conference. It was awesome. Russel M. Nelson was the speaker of both sessions. He was so great to listen to. It was very sincere, and personal. We were inspired!
***Dexter learned how to land a front flip on the trampoline by himself!! Here is a picture of him in action!!

***Coupons, coupons, and more coupons. I have been clipping coupons and saving a ton of money. While saving money, I have also been able to work on our food storage. I have been able to get a lot of stuff really cheap, and in some cases, even FREE!! Yeah! (Thanks for the idea, of posting a picture Ange!)

***Last weekend, we went to Dan's cousin's football game in Woods Cross. They are from Bear Lake, and were here for a semi-final game. They lost, but it was fun to see all of them.
***Lots of 4's!!!! Bailey brought home her report card this week and it had a bunch of 4's, and one 3.75. For those of you that don't have school aged kids, the grading system is 1-4, 4 being the best! We were very proud of her. We also went to the parent meeting with Bailey and her teachers. She got to show off her Spanish skills! She knows a ton of Spanish and is an excellent student. She has awesome grades, is kind to her classmates, and her teachers adore her. We are very proud of her. I'm sure she gets it from her mom!!!
***How many of you have a race track in your formal living room? I DO~ Last year for Christmas, good 'ol Santa brought the kids an electric track. It is very cool, but is a pain to put up. It takes almost 2 hours to put it up. Therefore it has only been put up twice. Dan told the kids that they could leave it up for a few days. It is driving me crazy, but I just keep telling myself to close my eyes! The kids love it!

Going Private.....

Ok, after all of the warnings and weirdos out there, I have been trying to decide if I should go private. I read this article on ksl.com, and it has me a little worried. I don't want to take my pictures off, because that is the best part of blogging, being able to brag about my kids. So, read this article if you want, http://www.ksl.com/index.php?nid=148&sid=4699330 and send me an e-mail if you want to follow my blog. lindsay.snell@digis.net
