Zack Thinks He's Mastered Feeding Himself . . .

These shots were examples of our little Mr. Man feeding himself back in November. What a funny little guy, he was insistent that he do it himself, but I'm pretty sure he got more on himself than IN himself.










I am blessed in this precious life,

Trip to Utah and Zacky's first Thanksgiving

Ben and I went out to Utah for our Zacky's first Thanksgiving. We went to grandpa and grandma Durney's house for the feast and of course it was nice to see so much family. Zack of course was happy as a clown and everyone absolutely loved him. ( why wouldn't they?) I was able to share with Ben's family our family story about the first Thanksgiving and we sang "Because I Have Been Giving Much." (my favorite hymn) After we all ate we just chatted with each other and had fun.

The Saturday following Thanksgiving was the big BYU vs the U game. Ben's parents had tickets for the game and his sweet mom gave up her ticket so Ben and his Dad could have a little male bonding time. . . SO my lucky Ben got to go to the game. While the men were bonding at the game and tailgate party, Ben's sisters, mom and I (Zack too of course) went out to lunch and indulged ourselves with pedicures. After all that indulgence we went to Uncle Dean and Aunt Tonis' house to watch the game. The game went into over time But at the end BYU won 26 to 23!!! It was a perfectly fun way to end the afternoon.

On Monday my wee little family popped over to visit my high school alma mater -- Liahona Academy. It was wonderful to visit with and see the Degraffs again and be able to introduce my handsome, sweet husband Ben and the joy of my life, Zack! I was invited to audit one of Br. DeGraff's classes. We laughed so much and Ben was able to witness what wonderful educators the DeGraffs were and the type of education I received at that school.
