Roo and Joey

When I was at BYU-Hawaii, I became really good friends with a girl from Australia, Kerin. We haven't seen each other since we left BYUH and lost contact with each other quite a while ago. I have been trying to track her down for about a year. Anyway, I finally found her just as she and her family were about to move to Utah. She arrived last week and they are staying with us until they find a house.
It has been great catching up and seeing our kids play together. Our kids are close in age and get along great!

Kerin's family lived in Queensland, Australia, which is a very nice climate...they don't get snow! Anyway, her kids went out to play the other morning and came in freezing. It was chilly and they were so excited to use their new winter coats, hats, and gloves. It was so cute!

Bight Me Edward!

Ok, it is almost a week now since we saw Twilight...finally getting around to a post is no reflection on my opinion of the movie. I really enjoyed it. There is a lot missing from the book, but in the movie's defense, there is no way they could have gotten everything in the book in a 2 hour movie. Edward was just yummy and that is all that matters! I want to go see it again.
We went with a group of about 14 women from our ward. It was so much fun. We were all crazy and silly, which just added to the movie experience.

We went to dinner at Red Robin before the midnight showing. Good food and great friends!

Youth Program

Last night Kelti had the opportunity to go up to the LDS Conference Center in Salt Lake and be part of the filming of a new broadcast for the youth of the Church. The film is being made to promote the theme for the youth in 2009. It will be broadcast world wide in January.
Kelti came home so pumped up and excited about it. She loved being able to see the Church leaders and be with all the other youth there. The Conference Center holds about 21,000 people. Can you imagine that many youth and their leaders...crazy. She was about 7 rows from the front and cameras all around. Anyway, she had a great experience. I'm so glad that we live here in Utah so that my kids have these opportunities.
