JANUARY!!! Well we had a lot of fun. We spent the first week finishing our Utah vacation and of coarse loved that. When we got home school and all of our regularly scheduled activities started again. Dance, Piano, Basketball, Youth activities, etc. Some of the fun extras were:

Michael participated in his last pinewood derby and guess what? Dad was here!! It was so great for him to finally have his dad here to help him and cheer him through it all. Mike lamented that he didn't have the expertise of Uncle Ammon to make the fastest car, but I think his presence was the best thing of all.


Another super exciting event, was a youth temple trip. It was Allison's first time going and she had a wonderful experience. Brittany was great to guide her through it all with her vast experience and they both had a really good time.

Next exciting event, Mike and I got to go to a concert. Neither of us have ever been to one before and while it was not quite what I expected, it was a lot of fun. The weather was amazingly awful but it was still packed and loud and crazy and fun. It was LeAnn Rimes and while she is a country singer it seemed a little more pop than country. Anyway, we had a fun time and hope it won't be our last concert.


pictured here is another of our pizza parties that we try to have every-so-often and that we all love. So January was a good and busy month and amazingly we didn't have a single birthday to report this month.
