Happy Birthday Kathryn!  It’s still your birthday month after all 🙂  I think we had a pretty great day.  Thank you Suzanne for all you did to make the day special.

Check out these earmuffs!  Thanks Ben and Emily!  

Lunch with the family.

Dinner and bowling with me.

Gas station hot chocolate with new red lipstick.

Sunday dinner with your family.

And to start it all off, staying up to 2am birthday eve working on the basement.  You are an amazing woman!

Here are some other fun things.  We’ve found a new way to clip Ashley’s fingernails.  Watching Curious George in style! 

This last week was the New Beginnings night for Young Womens.  It really was a New Beginnings night for Kathryn (and me) as well.  This was her last activity as the Young Women’s President.  She was released today.  With this in mind, she really wanted to make it a special night for the girls.  She spent several days planning, preparing, crafting, sewing, organizing, gathering, coordinating, setting up, and executing.  Suzanne came and spent the entire day helping her get setup and watch Ashley.  Just to illustrate how much effort she put into this, the night before the activity, she had a dream that putting the chairs on an angle would make it more fun and less like the Relief Society room.  So, that’s what she did.

The evening was based on D&C 4:2 “Oh ye that embark in the service of God”  and was travel themed.

Kathryn was Carmen Sandiego, reformed of course.  She did a fantastic job and the evening was a smashing success.  I was only able to sneak in and take this one picture of her in action.  (I was teaching the electronics merit badge to the Teachers Quorum.)

I love my amazing wife!
