We had a really fun Thanksgiving with the Barton family at the Weight's house(Stephen's sister). All but one were there. We missed her! Here are a few pics.

Ten things that make me smile---

1. Juice asking for help with her problem---it being that too many boys like her!

2. Cutie laying in his bed in the morning singing "You are my Sunshine."

3. Silly Guy practicing his cello---without being asked:)

4. My yard is all cleaned up for the winter.

5. My family laughing together as we play charades.

6. Lower gas prices!

7. Superstar planning to build a restaurant so that I will want to eat out more often. (More on that later!)

8. Stephen's love and patience.

9. Sonny Pie being so relaxed and easy-going and responsible. (This is a huge change from a few years ago!)

10. My wonderful family!----That's all of you!

String Bass?

I'm embarking on a new adventure!

I'm going to become a bass player. (I use that term very loosely;) I've been going to the elementary school two days a week to help with the beginning orchestra where Silly Guy is learning to play the cello. The cellos and basses have their class together---6 cellos and 1 bass. The little girl who is learning the bass is having a really hard time. She is the only one that has something different to play than all the others. The orchestra teacher has been afraid she was going to quit.

So I thought maybe if I learned to play the bass also it would help this girl to not be so discouraged. This was the first day that I played the bass. It was kind of fun. I hope it really does help!

Baptism Day

What a great day it was for our Superstar to be baptized. He has been preparing and being prepared by the Spirit for a long time and finally the day has come. His older brother and sister gave the talks and his brother and cousin gave the prayer. Superstar sang a musical number--"When I Am Baptized." We were really grateful for everyone from both sides of the family who took time out of their busy schedules to travel to be with us. We felt especially blessed that Grandma & Grandpa Hymas were able to be there en route to moving to Salt Lake. Thanks to everyone who helped to make it a special day!
