Zoolights


What a fun time we had on Saturday night with the Mt. Hood YSA Relief Society. It was suppose to be an enrichment activity for the sisters, but they always need a few good men along too. Daddy and Br. Standing came as Priesthood representatives. Cathy Gibbs wished she had known they were coming and Jim would have been with us too. It was cold and snowy but that just added to the beauty of the whole thing. I havent been to see the lights at the zoo since Jen was a teenager. It was incredibley beautiful. Throughout the whole ride we kept saying..."so and so, a different one of our grandchildrens names...would have loved this" Guy Guy wanted us all to be able to go together at Christmastime when all the cousins were together this year but the weather made it impossible to get out. Next year its a plan! Empty Nesting takes a little getting used to but I have to tell you that Daddy and I are loving it now. The Young Adults keep us busy and we have learned to love them like they are ours. Cora Lynn moved in downstairs last week and Dee is coming in on Wednesday. The day after Cora Lynn moved her stuff in the basement flooded in Mikes bedroom. The ground is just so saturated. It hasnt flooded like this since 96 and never this much water. We sucked up the water with Cindys carpet cleaner and a shop vacumn ( thanks Cindy and Jake) and stuck 4 high powered fans in and cranked up the heat. Its almost dry and hopefully this recent snowfall wont seep through.

Heres a picture of the girls and the Bishop.
