Happy Chinese New Year!



Ellie made Egg Rolls tonight. She did such a good job!
Later, she gave a great FHE lesson on how Heavenly Father answers your prayers. She drew illustrations of scripture stories and had siblings hold the pictures while she read the verses. The most hilarious one (though we didn't laugh out loud at the time, of course) was a picture of Nephi shocking his brothers "because they wouldn't help him build the boat". We are blessed to have such a sweet girl.

For our activity, we played Sardines! You'd be surprised to find that there ARE
places to hide in 600 square feet!


Brinley's Banana Pops:
3 Bananas and two Hershey Bars
"Mix the, wait no... Put the hershey bars in a glass bowl, and put it in the oven. Wait! Not the oven. The Microwave! And then you get your bananas and split all three of them in to two. After you split them in two, you get the Hershey bars out of the microwave. And you put the bananas in the bowl, I mean! not the bananas in the bowl. You get the spoon and put the melted Hershey bar on the bananas. And then you put them in the freezer for two and a half hours. I mean one and a half hours! It's awesome when you eat it!"

I want Ellie's recipe for eggrolls! Way to go girl! I'm hoping to come see you guys more once you are back. Are you going to be in Soda or Lava? We are so happy for you. My kids are looking forward to spending a lot of time at Lava's swimming pools now that we are closer too! Can't wait to see you guys. When's the big day?

Fun stuff!

Brett was looking at a job opening in Butte, and I was going to ask where you lived to see how close we would be if we got it. It turns out Brett didn't apply before the cut-off date and you're moving anyway! Oh well, maybe we will still move somewhere close (if this last terrible semester really ever ends!!!) ;). It would be fun~ good luck with everything!
