This post is a little overdue! This summer Kelly and I had the opportunity to participate in a pioneer trek with our stake. We were asked to be a ma and pa to 9 pioneer children!

Thursday, August 15, 2013. It is that gorgeous there! Frenchtown, Montana June 2013. Not a red barn at all. I guess he never specifically said it was red or full of hay but a girl can imagine. Little town after little town and then we came upon Dillon, Montana.

Saturday, December 17, 2011. At this time of year I seem to do a lot of reflecting on what the season really means to me. So many people try to change Christmas traditions and make bold statements about why the change is warranted. One of these things is the abolition of gifts.

What if cougars ate pie? Even the boys were.

Saturday, July 6, 2013. The security here was very low key. We were not searched or insulted or made to feel ill-at-ease at all. From Stockholm to Malmo and beyond. I have put together a book of the trip, where a map shows each little town, about sixteen, all located around Landskrona, where our ancestors lived.

Sunday, December 4, 2011. I had veal cordon bleu and filet mignon, both of which I liked. We had several versions of baked Alaska for dessert. Some were better than others. The creme brule was also good. And there was plenty of non-new good food as well. They had someone that carved ice scuptures. We sat and watched him during a demonstration. Often we would find towel origami on our beds at night. This is one of them. We also got to see .
