The mountains are gorgeous, the sky is blue!

This was taken on Sunday when we arrived for church.  

The mountains are so beautiful this time of year!  

Nature is a wonderful gift from a loving Heavenly Father!

Amy turned 15 on Monday!  We had our traditional breakfast in bed and then we had birthday dinner (Amy's favorite-tortellini).  Sophie and Aubrey came over for birthday cake and singing.  They took Amy out to Panda Express afterwards.  Amy wants to go to EFY this summer for her Christmas/birthday present.  She wants to go by herself so she can meet lots of new friends!  

We had to get another car by Tuesday, so on Monday, your Tim took some time off of work and we got a little 2005 Honda Civic.  We took the rental back on Tuesday.  It turned out to be a blessing that we got hit because Todd had slid on ice in the Corolla and had an accident that left the car in bad shape.  We got to drive a new rental for two months and then the new car we got is much better. So it turned out to be a huge blessing.

Cousin Adrian Mickelson (Kim's husband) from Boise, ID was working at Micron in Lehi this week.  He brought back the two suits we'd left in Boise when we were there.  We had him over for dinner (Japanese food, of course)!  He served his mission in Sendai and he travels to Tokyo about 4 times a year so he is a Japanese food fan too.  We had a great visit.

Luke loves to swim and he went swimming for 3 hours on Friday and then for 3 hours on Saturday after his swimming lessons with Kaylee.  He is getting quite proficient with the back stroke.

Gas prices continue to fall-LOVE IT!!!

Amy took her driver's test.

Thursday was parent teacher conferences.  Friday I took Luke swimming for 3 hours, then we went to Tanner Frandsen's reception.  He married a girl from Wisconsin.  They had real fish in fishbowls for the center pieces-cool! .  On Saturday morning Luke had swimming lessons and then we stayed at the pool another 3 hours.  His poor eyes have chlorine burns-I think we over did it this time!  Saturday, Amy's friend, Kylie from Waterford came over for dinner and then the girls went to a fun Stake dance in Alpine.  They had a great time.

Todd is trying to maximize his fun times with Brian Mickelson before he leaves on his mission in just a few weeks.

Tonight we had the Eric and Mindy's family over over. We had dinner and visited until about 8 pm. 

Amy gave a great talk in church today. The topic was, "Fasting."
