There is so much to tell......

I promised to keep up with this better and for some reason time has passed me by. So I will consolidate that last few weeks into this one blog post....hope you can keep up! It will go in order!
We were able to attend our neighbors baptism a few Saturdays ago. It was really special. These are the neighbors that were first to welcome us into the area. I at the time assumed they were members and many times opened mouth and inserted foot about church. Their family started coming back to church the Sunday we were here---- BODY BAR...anyone.... I have been taking a class called Body Bar at the community center. It's quite a workout and yes I am very sore afterwards. It's lots of fun and its 7:30am-8:30am on Saturdays.... so i feel I have started my weekend off right!!---
Lauren was in Texas for a visit recently. She was able to see most of her friends and attend drill team competition in Burleson! While she was gone I went to her parent teacher conference. I was quite impressed considering I could never get her teachers to respond to me at Central. All the teachers at Bingham were available for 2 days in the gym. They all were set up in ABC order and we could go and discuss our kids grades.... grades are good....attendance not so much! She's working on it though!
Here at Daybreak elementary they have something called a "walking report card" for the kindergarteners. I didn't know what to expect but was quite impressed again. I went in and was able to sit with Landon for 1 1/2 hours seeing what he had learned by watching him complete a 7 page packet that included reading/comprehension, math with adding and subtracting and a couple of multplication problems, 2 word problems, and discoving he is apparently reading on a second grade level. I am really impressed with the schools so far... I was a little worried but they say that we are in a good area for schools.
We as a family were able to take a drive up to little cottonwood canyon and check out where the pioneers took the granite from the side of the mountain to build the SLC temple. We saw mountain goats as well..... it was a nice experience. We topped our day off by eating at the infamous Guadalahonkey's a Utah favorite for Mexican food, on a scale from 1-5 I give it a 3!
The kids and I went swimming at the South Jordan Rec center. It's like Keller point with the indoor slides and fountains. We had so much fun, the weird part, it was snowing while we were swimming...
Our Stake conference was interesting.... Alan was asked to give the opening prayer and Elder Pingree of the seventy was there. It was a great conference and was really focused on the youth which was awesome!
It got really warm here like 45 or so, we decided to roast marshmellows and make smores outside with our fire pit. It was so much fun.... the whole courtyard came out and the kids played!
Alan went to Nashville last week for the Coutry Radio Seminar... he was able to see some of his friends in the business and participate on a panel for texting. It was a fast trip and he was back in time for the Rascal Flatts concert which Landon and I attended. It started out with the whole family going then Lauren got a date, Makayla was invited to spend the night with a friend so Landon and I drove to Sandy and hopped on the TRAX to head to SLC. He was so excited to ride the train. The concert was awesome and I saw Jackie from afar... we waived and texted back and forth!!!
We had our enrichment Tuesday night, it was the RS bday party.... we all wore out PJ's and had pizza and ice cream, played "I NEVER", mixed and mingled.... it was fun!
We have been cooking out alot thanks to the weather...
The Buckle opened up in the district...... working details to come!!!
I finally signed Landon up for baseball. I saw signs that said "BINGHAM BASEBALL" sign ups call a certain number..... I talked to the baseball coach at Bingham and he referred me to the right person......long story short, Landon ended up on the same team as Sprencer, our neighbor whose dad was just baptized!!!

WHOOOOO! More to come later!!
