Go Titans!

This past Saturday we had a fun family day. Ryan is now playing on the JV Basketball team at Tahquitz High School. I really can't tell who was more excited, Terry or Ryan. What was great about Saturday was that Ryan was playing against Elsinore High School, which is where Terry and I graduated from 20 years ago. To surprise Terry, Ryan had his jersey number switched to #33 (Terry's basketball number is high school). My parents, brothers, sister-in-law, niece's and nephews, and cousins all came to watch Ryan play. To top off the afternoon we all went to lunch at In-n-Out (Yum!). Unfortunately, Elsinore beat Tahquitz! Better luck next time.

The Green box

Ok for days now I have been trying to figure out how to remove the little green box above the blog list. It is frustrating me to no end. I can barely figure out how to add a new post let alone figure out how it even got there. It will have to remain until I do another mistake and then maybe it will disappear. I wish there was a website: blogging for dummies! I sit here for hours trying to make it nice and somewhat presentable. It's like I am addicted. Speaking of addicted - I started the Twilight book a week ago. On Tuesday I read the 2nd book, Thursday I stayed up to 2:30 am to finish book 3 and on Sunday I finished book 4. I could not put the books down. My laundry looks like a mountain, the floor wasn't mopped all week and I can not tell you what my children had for dinner except for one night when I ordered pizza. I still have not seen the movie which is why I wanted to read the book in the first place. Call me crazy but now I am sad that I've finished them so fast. Then I feel guilty because how can I read books that are at least 600 pages each in one day but can only read about 4 chapters of the scriptures in a week? What kind of person does that make me? And when I read the scriptures, I normally have a second book that helps me understand what I just read so that when I go to Gospel Doctrine I can understand what everyone else is talking about. Ok now I feel totally crazy, sometimes I wonder if Heavenly Father listens to my thoughts and thinks He needs a break from listening to my weirdness. At least I know that He will always love me, despite everything!

Southern California Snowman

Today we went to our town Christmas parade. We could not stop laughing at the man-made snowmen that were on several floats throughout the parade. In case you can't tell, he's made of tumbleweed. I thought I'd share a picture to all our friends back East that are battling the winter cold!
