Avery and Lyla were still with us for the first part of this week. On Monday, our adventure was to go to DI and then to the McDonald's playground. On Tuesday, Sarah and McKay didn't get back until late afternoon, so we took another adventure this time to the mall to play on the playground and sit in all the coin-operated trucks without putting coins in them. :)





Bethany helped Avery get ready for her parents to come home by helping her make a card and some confetti. They waited by the door and shouted surprise! and welcome home! Sarah cried and both Sarah and McKay were covered in hugs. They had a great time but they sure missed their kiddos!


That afternoon, Kevin had a chance to go to the BYU basketball game with an old friend, Kevin Simpson. They had a great time and even ran into a couple of their old friends from high school! It was super fun for him!


That night was New Year's Eve! Mariah and Kolby came over and the Kogers for a bit and the Mila girls. We played games until midnight and then toasted each other with Martinelli's! It was a fun night.


The next day was my birthday! I told Kevin I wanted to try to go four-wheeling so he got the four wheeler unhitched from the plow and all loaded on the trailer. We went to find the path I had heard of. We found it . . . but it was covered in snow! So we didn't go four wheeling even after all Kevin's work! But I sure appreciated the effort and the drive was very beautiful! Afterward, we went out for some hot soup for lunch and then to the mall for a foot massage. Ahhhh. Cali and Chey called me that evening. I love talking to them! That night, Megan and Ammon made mango salmon tacos and Savannah bought me a Magleby's cake. They sang to me and we played Family Clue. It was super fun.


Thursday I got my hair cut! And we tried a new doctor for Bethany. (Jury's still out on whether they can help or not.) On our way back, we stopped at the DMV and Beth got her driver's license! She's official!!!



Friday I did a lot of grocery shopping. Ben and Kevin played tennis.

Saturday we did a lot of cleaning and Kevin and I and Mariah and Kolby went to the temple to do sealings in the afternoon.

What a week! Happy New Year to all of you!!
