January happenings...

I haven't posted anything in January, so I thought I'd better share a few things we've been doing. We've set some new goals in January and have done pretty good so far at following through. We get up every morning and exercise together! Yep, Dad does my "Biggest Loser Workout" with me! Then we have our little 'Morning Devotional' time together- prayer, reading out of the Ensign, or reading our Sunday School lesson or Relief Society/ Priesthood lesson together. We are each learning a new scripture, quote or poem every month, along with all the Articles of Faith. Just one a month makes it easy.  I've been doing Kari's 8 week challenge of trying to eat healthier along with other goals we are working on. 
 LaVerl been doing A LOT of ice fishing AND catching A LOT of fish!! He's been having a great time! He's learned its easier to haul all the gear in a sled he can just pull along, instead of trying to carry it all. 
 Making the hole is the hardest part of fishing! The ice started off being about 12 inches thick, but with all our nice weather, its all melting now.



 Then LaVerl went with his buddy Randell to look for Gold!! They drove to Globe and found some old mines to explore around. They had their metal detectors (thanks Barry!) and had lots of fun, but sadly, they didn't find any gold!


I've been trying to eat healthier, but I felt like pizza!! I made this with cauliflower crust and it was yummy!
I also stayed busy this month making these cute decorations for our Relief Society "Angels Among Us" enrichment night.
These were the center pieces...
....they had this little sign that hung down in the center that said,
"What would your life look without them?" I made the invitation out of this same circle. It was fun making all the tissue flowers. That evening people shared memories of when 'angels' helped them when they were having a rough time.  
More ice fishing with buddy, Ron Cole
They didn't catch anything smaller that 15" out of Cresent Lake!
Its been a great January! We sure need snow and Dad 
could have a little more work, but then he couldn't go 
fishing as much!!
