A few January happenings . . .

John got me (among other things) some bread pans for Christmas --mine were getting rusty and gross. He found a cool rectangle that makes really great sandwich bread. Here's a comparison:

Ashlyn was the Student of the Week; thus the making of the requisite poster (and notice the newly missing teeth!):

On her poster said she has 37 cousins and here's the newest!!!!

Darling little Easton Clark Bergmann born on January 14th.

The winter weather has been super duper gorgeous. On MLK day we went for a hike;

the other day I found a cool bench on our water tower hill with a great view:

Then since there was no school (YAY!), we got to all go and meet baby Easton.

Spring has sprung in the dead of winter. Except we don't get dead here.

Walking to school on a beautiful morning.

Crazy hair day:

A "bunhawk"

Make that two bunhawks and a mohawk:

Conference was last weekend and it went well. I didn't collapse or stutter or spit or slur. A collective ~~sigh~~.

I'm just about finished with my project that I'm making for our Stake Presidency. Here's a screen shot sampling:

To go along with last year's Primary theme of I Know the Scriptures are True, we challenged the kids in the Stake to read their scriptures and tell us what they've learned. We collected, over a period of several months last year, many quotes from the kids along with darling illustrations. I captured them all in an iPhoto album and added pictures from activities we've done over the past three years. It's pretty certain that we'll be released sooner than later so I wanted to get this done before that happens. I think it's going to look great!
