Cold Cold Camp

Trent had to go on a Scout overnight! The hard thing is that is was so cold!!  It is different than UT because it is a wet cold! Totally different! The whole city shut down! I was glad Grant's coach still held the pizza and game Friday night! But everyone was predicting ice the temperatures were dropping so low! We did not understand this at first, but there are so many bridges and overpasses here that get the cold from both sides so it is icy! Again different from Utah ice on the road! (which I don't like either!) They still took the boys! All sports cancelled, everything YMCA cancelled etc I was getting emails from hair salons etc. about opening late!  But, not the Mormons!!  The boys still went! My main objection is that the boys were not taught about camping in the cold! Josh drove to Camp Tejas after Grant's basketball party! Mike Melansen called and said, "I know you came from UT, but I just left camp, heads up its icy!" As soon as Josh hung up, he slid sideways! (Going over a small bridge!)



They survived!! Trent didn't put on dry socks before bed like I told him to and had cold feet!!  Josh slept in the truck, which I appreciated him going!!  The next morning some of the dads teased him because he watched a movie!!

Everyone verses Rampage

Grant's coach had a really fun night of Pizza and basketball! We all pitched in and rented his church's gym! The families played against Rampage! Very fun!!!  We were sad Trent had to go to a scout camp and miss it!

Merit Badge University

UT holds a Merit Badge University once a year! Trent only went to the first one because he had basketball  during the second and the team would be short players! 
He played a KILLER game by the way!!  So fun to watch!!

Lydia's Valentine's Party

Ben Child was here working with Josh! I curled Lydia's hair with sponge rollers, first time ever! We were both excited! In the morning her hair was still wet, but we were in such a hurry I had to pull them out! She really wanted Ben to see her beautiful hair! She was thrilled! Then she decided to wear a Valentine's pajama top with her Minnie Mouse pajama bottoms! The girl looked good!  She was pleased and that is what matters! 


Her loot!

Her card to us:
