Weekend Update

It has been a busy week and I haven't taken many pictures, but here are a few...On Thursday, we went to watch Addie in the first and second grade Spring Program, "Who Pushed Humpty?" Addie was in the first grade chorus (pictured here from across a dim gym)
OOPS, I didn't fix that red eye...but here's Addie singing. It was a cute little show.

On Saturday we went to Museum of the Rockies in Bozeman to celebrate Heidi's birthday (her request). So we went to a planetarium show and checked out the new exhibits, did a little shopping, had lunch at Wendy's, and then later went to Stake Conference.

Sure, there's still a lot of snow in Bozeman, but it was a warm and sunny day!

We looked at photography exhibits by Edward Curtis and another guy. The Curtis photos made up an ethnography of Native American tribes at the turn of the 19th-20th century and they were beautiful images. The other exhibit was Sheep Herding in Paradise Valley, which we loved because we recognized all our hang-out/ camping spots. The photos were taken around Livingston--at Harvath Flats, along the Yellowstone, up Mission Creek, in the stockyards here in town, etc. They were taken through out the year in 1939 documenting the lambing and shearing seasons, with lots of gorgeous shots of the flocks just feeding and moving around the valley. The kids had a cool exhibit about the mechanics of toys with lots of hands-on exhibits---cams, pulleys, circuits, etc. And each station showed a popular toy taken apart to show how it works. It was really fun! Stake Conference was great, too, but I'll write about that later.

For now, it's time to do a bunch of housekeeping and Primary Prep, and take Heidi to school, so I gotta bail.

Happy Birthday

to my beautiful nieces, Kaylee Hamlin (in Michigan) and Sariah Melin (in Texas) !

We love you girls so much!
