It is Diane’s birthday and the Sabbath.  The sun is shining, and it is a beautiful day.  It was day light savings this morning so we all had to get up an hour earlier after staying up too late to watch a movie that David rented (Express) which made me cry.  We decided that the Sabbath should be a day of rest, so after we set our Sunday goals (journal, Duty to God, choir practice, setting up home teaching and visiting teaching, piano hymn practice, reading New Era and Ensign) we analyzed if there was time for a nap and decided that the “day of rest” was just a trick to make Sunday seems more peaceful.

 

We are planning a weekend with all of Dave’s sons next week.  So far we have the excitement narrowed down to snowmobiling, tubing, shotgun shooting, a trip trough Draper temple, and of course eating too much.  I will post pictures after the event.  In the meanwhile, I will post the video that we showed at Connor and Gabe’s Eagle Court.

 

It was fun to have Mom spend a few days with us.  We had a family night where the kids got to ask her questions after we watched Russell’s video show of Grandpa’s life pictures.  How much did Grandpa and Grandma Choate pay for their first home in Burbank?  Answer:  $4,000.  Man – we should have hung unto that property!!!

 

Happy Birthday to Diane!!

 

Love, Traci and David
