More Quotes
Alaina this morning said, while wearing her shirt that says "bootiful"
"I'm not cute anymore, I'm beautiful. Boys are cute. Brothers are handsome. I'm beautiful."
She's also decided orange is a girl color, so she will insist on Orange cups and bowls!

Instructions Made in China
Recently installing some drawer guides in a cabinet, I found the instructions say to put the provided cardboard template inside the drawer to show where to put the screws.
However, printed on the cardboard template were the words: "Tin Plate!"
Really!

More Good Foundation
And now we break for a short public service announcement . . .
One donor I work with is one of the most effective member-missionaries I know. One time, after sharing the gospel with a friend, the prospective member did some Internet research on Mormons, found lots of anti-Mormon stuff, and decided not to continue.
My donor friend then did some checking on his own and found very little positive information on Mormonism or LDS-related topics on the Internet, and decided to do something about it. He felt it was important to have a variety of positive sites that are NOT official Church sites--because they're sometimes seen as somewhat more credible or unbiased by outsiders.
The More Good Foundation is a result of his work. It's mostly a network of volunteer bloggers and site-developers who are working to get good information on the Internet. They now own more than 1200 Urls, including Christ.org and lds.net, etc.
For people who feel they have few opportunities to do missionary work, this is one option. If you haven't seen these yet, check it out!

President Hinckley Viewing
We went to President Hinckley's viewing--what a memorable experience. The line was truly incredible--took us a total of about 4 1/2 hours. It kept going on because we kept thinking we were almost done.
But it was a special experience. Here are a couple of photos we took while waiting.
Sledding January 2008
We all had a blast sledding several times this winter with incredible amounts of snow.
If I can get it to work right, some videos will be here.
Okay--you'll just have to use your imagination till I have a bit more time to do this with YouTube.

Timothy Turns 1
I just noticed we never posted anything from Timothy's Birthday, Feb. 19. He's as cute as can be--had plenty of help with the presents, of course.
