2011 Hodge Podge

We spent New Year's with Ray's parents and his sister Melinda and her family.  They all came from Utah to get warm, only to find unusually cold weather here.  They were here the day it snowed!  We went to Amazing Jake's, temple lights, out to eat, movies, etc., and had a great time seeing them.

My cute cousin Klydi got married the next week, so my mom, Adina and I took a short trip to Utah for the wedding.  It was a beautiful sealing and fun reception.  It was fun to hang out with my mom and sisters, and to catch up with my cousins.  It was also a nice break from the daily routine!

James was selected as student of the month.  Here he is with his awesome teacher.

Our Christmas gift from Grandma and Grandpa Hammond was a chance to see Shrek The Musical at Gammage.  We took the three oldest kids, and everyone loved it.

We've already packed a lot into 2011,

including a mishap with a horse (the grandson of Seattle Slew), who ran right into the front of Ray's truck! 

 It promises to be an exciting year!
