Watch Out for That Friday the 13th

  Do you believe in Friday the 13th? I never have, until a couple weeks ago. I went downstairs to put a blanket in our extra room when I smelled a musty, moldy smell. I started to feel the carpet and it was all wet. I wasn't sure how long it'd been like that as we don't go in that room very often. So I moved everything out and called our landlord to check it out. He had to pull up the carpet and put fans down. We weren't sure what caused it, we hoped it was just a pipe that broke and not a leak in the foundation.    Later that night we drove to Cache Valley to go to the Peck Hadfield ice skating party. Lydia had never been so she was pretty excited. First, we made a quick stop to see Grandma and Grandpa Rigby.   Then we headed to the ice rink. Lydia really liked it and did better than I thought. She went around maybe four times when she said, "I'm ready for some snacks now." It was fun while it lasted. We had a great time skatin...

Merry Christmas!

  We had a wonderful Christmas break. We started a new tradition of baking sugar cookies, decorating them and giving them to a few neighbors. Lydia especially loved sprinkling on the sprinkles and couldn't wait to eat the broken ones.    We had our own Christmas morning in our home on the 23rd since we'd be in Cache Valley for the real day. I felt a tiny bit guilty for Allie this year, but felt better knowing how much fun she'd have with the wrapping paper.  Lydia got some books (from the DI), a puzzle (also from the DI), her own Book of Mormon she can take to Primary, and a big semi-truck with lots of cars in it. She had a blast and Loren and I did too. I'm pretty sure I was more excited for her to open her presents than she was.    After all the presents were opened we drove to Avon. Since Loren's birthday always get's lost in the mix of Christmas and our anniversary, I really wanted to do something special for him this yea...
