Rexburg Temple

We had a great time this weekend visiting the Rexburg Temple Open House with a lot of my family and one of my friends from work and her husband. Neither Jared or I have ever been to an open house so it was cool to see how the whole thing was organized. There were so many people, it was neat! Oh - and it was freezing cold! I think Jessica said their van read about 15 degrees. Brrrrrrrr...so do you think Jared took the Pharmacy job in Rexburg?

Brag on Jared

In November I got a call from our enrichment counselor because they were planning a craft night for the upcoming holdiays. I love doing stuff like this but some may know that I tend to also get way stressed out too, thinking, planning, and just wanting it to be over. So, one of the girls had suggested making Candy Canes because they saw the one that I had, which my mom made for me. So to make a loooong story short they had, I think, 25 girls sign up to make them = 25 candy canes. I was freaking out! Jared was way calm about it all and luckily offered and did all the hard work for them. He is THE MAN! He cut out all the wood, assembled them together, and I vacuumed up all the saw dust :) Thanks to the Turners as well for all their help and the use of their heated garage, and tools...it was kind of a whole family project! Here are a few pictures, it turned out nice for all the girls so that was the enjoyable part. I was just glad when it was over.

1 Week!

So apparently a couple of days for me, actually turns out to be a week. Jared has been working in IF for the past couple of days so I've had some boring time to get some stuff done including some girly touches (sort of) to the blog. I'm the Activity Day leader for the girls in our ward ages 8-11. Last week we had a pizza party becuase 2 of the girls (twins-left) turned 12. I don't really know what I was thinking but we (me and my assistant) decided to have it at our apartment. I think this picture will explain a lot, but our poor neighbors through the walls-it was incredibly loud and caotic...as usual!

If anyone has any good ideas for activites to help occupy 10 girls for 1 hour that are simple with no expense let me know!

Wednesday

Okay - so Jared went to play church ball (they had a game tonight) and since it has taken me the whole time he's been gone to figure out our stupid blogger login...I will be posting some stuff tomorrow or the day after. I figure if I don't do something soon, since Jared created this blog, (Thank You) it may very well turn into a snowboarding, fishing, and pretty soon coyote hunting video blog, which would be very disgusting!

Snowboarding at Pomerelle

Aaron and I went to Pomerelle Ski Resort in Albion for one day between Christmas and New Years before he went back to Virginia. It had been a long time for both of us but we picked it right back up. We had a great day but Aaron couldn't get away from the bad luck. First he broke his binding clean off his snowboard, and then he broke one of the straps off of the replacement binding from the rental shop. I guess thats what happens when you are as hard core as he is! Thanks for the fun day Aaron.

Here's Aarons broken binding

I had to throw in a video of me getting some air!

Here are 2 more videos of us on the white stuff.
