Yesterday I got to do interpreting at the high school! It was a good experience. I worked in a math class which was hard at first to figure out the specific signs for Y axis and X axis and intercept etc but it turned out ok because they only had 1/2 hour of instruction and then took a test. Easy for me! Then in the cooking class I just did explanations and then the students ate left over turkey dinner (yes, I had some!) and then played games. It was a good day for the regular interpreter to be out. A good starting point for me in the 'big leagues'. I don't like the high school too much though. Too many weirdo teenagers.....
But Mrs. Izbell remembered Kimi and Mrs. Burris remembered Eric and the cooking teacher Can't remember her name, remembered Eric too. Hmmmmm. he graduated in 1998. Why would she remember him??? Eric?

Logan Adventures
Kimi took us to the museum at USU to dventures
see the display she made with two other girls. They spent countless hours and efforts to put this together . Even Cherise helped out with painting. It's named Message On A Body.




Among other things there is info on tattoos & corsettes.
This head is shaped with boards strapped to a child's head and he is not taken out of his cradle to play for 2 years!


These tiny shoes were worn in China during the 1000 years that girl's feet were bound.
They actually constantly break bones in the feet to fold them under and they end up only 3 inches long. The display was excellent! We are very proud of the work she did.


Sophie and Allessia having fun at Cherise's house on conference sunday.
We were so glad they came to visit!!!



Checking to see who has the fever....


My three daughters! Aren't they beautiful?








"What we did on our Conference Vacation"
We had quite the trip over conference weekend. We traveled all the way up to Logan, Utah and back so we could visit with 5 of the kids. We stopped in Cedar city first to see Christine's family, then headed up to SLC to visit with Jen's family then on up to Logan where we saw Cherise and Kimi and even Annette came down with her family for the visit. It was great to see everyone and conference too. We would have gone to session of conference but someone left the tickets in the wrong state.... But it didn't matter. This way we were able to make halloween decorations with Maddie, Jaren,Tanner and Tae on sunday morning.


Here are the kids with their little baby bear.
Baby Bear Chase himself

Cutest tungue ever!


Dad showing off for the grandkids. Luckily he didn't hurt anything.



Notice the bats and pumpkin hanging from the ceiling.





HALLOWEEN
Each Halloween our extended family comes to visit after trick-or-treating. Cody, Zack and Max empty their candy on the floor and count and seperate it just like every kid in the universe. I love it!

So here is the family this year. Josh the Orange haired, Soldier Cody, Batman Zach ,Chrystal the Mom, and Eeyore Max



Aren't they cute? They make it feel like the beginning of the holidays!
Thank you!!!
