Carmel Apples

I was trying to figure out what to give all of my Primary workers for Christmas. I wasn't coming up with anything and my sister Kim suggested Carmel Apples. They were pretty easy and every one seemed to enjoy them. I made a few for some school teachers also. Here are some pictures of them.

Acceptance to BYUI

Kjirsten woke me up at 11:00 last night to show me her acceptance e-mail to BYUI. She was soooooooo very excited. Now they decide which track she will be on and then we will look for housing, register for classes, and all of that fun stuff.

Knoxville Museum of Art

Breanne entered a piece of art into an art competition at the Knoxville Museum of Art. There were over a 1,000 entries and only 275 were selected. Her melted plastic sculpture was one of them. Breanne and I drove down to Knoxville to look at all of the artwork and go to the awards ceremony. It will be on display for three weeks. Way to go Breanne!

Am I suppose to feel old..............

Am I suppose to feel old if one of my children is an adult?!?

Kjirsten turned 18 on Thursday. I feel a great sense of accomplishment. She has turned out to be a wonderful person. We surprised her for her birthday by flying her best friend Kayla out from Illinois. They have been have a fun few days together. Kjirsten couldn't stop hugging her. She has really missed the girl bonding time and I really felt like that is what she needed for her birthday.

Will took Kjirsten out for dinner and then took her to the airport to "watch planes land". She had no clue that Kayla was coming until she was standing right beside her.


We went ice skating - one of Kjirsten's favorite things to do. Way back in Wenatchee days she went every year for her birthday with her friend Elyse. In Decatur she taught Kayla to love ice skating. She is working on Will.................he went and practiced a few days earlier, so that he could remember what he learned last year. Happy Birthday Kjirsten
