Sara wasn't feeling good but came anyway and made a cake! She is always cheerful even when feeling down. We had soups and mom made yummy rolls. Wish I had a bosch and wheat grinder so I could start making rolls! But I think I'm allergic to wheat. Anyways life had been so fun with a new baby. The kids take such good care of her, changing her, and holding her. It's been a different schedule than what I am used to, and hard to get out to exercise, but the moments are precious and fleeting and I am cherishing them.
dad and Lori are anxiously awaiting their departure to Australia to serve a mission. Mom is busy painting murals for temples and the rest of the family is doing great. Sara hurt her knee skiing with Fred whittingham, who we all love, but is doing ok. Heidi came over last night for movie and a pizza and brought Morgan a "Morgan silver dollar!" He was excited and had added it to his growing coin collection which he proudly shows on instagram. He has also started guitar this year and I hope he goes far with it. We are putting carson back into parkour and maybe piano and malia into tumbling. She is an amazing little flexible dancer.
Wes is doing great at his job but is getting the itch to start another business. He is doing great as a husband and dad, and wants to turn wood with morgan like his grandfather. OUr new years resolutions are to attend the temple more, visit gramps ridd and neighbors more, get back into shape and get the kids going into classes.
I have posted notes from mckinleys blessing below.
