CHRISTMAS PRESENT!!!!

Michael, James and I have been working on the shelves in our storage room downstairs. They were finally finished last night and they look fabulous. I can't believe how much storage space I have in that room now. I am so excited to get my food storage off of the floor and put on the shelves. Now I can get things cleaned up and organized down there. Michael is just so smart and so good with engineering something like that to make it fit, make it strong, and give me the maximum use of my space. It was hard work and we had to go and buy some tools that made the work go so much faster. He is such a perfectionist and those shelves look like a true professional put them in there. The shelves were my Christmas present for last year but that is okay---it can be my early Mother's Day present for this year. Thanks Hon!

Our day started early with a trip to Ogden Temple to do baptisms. All of my children and two friends went with us. What a great way to start the day. We like to be the first ones in the baptistery and then we are out of there really quick. Then we came home and I fixed a big breakfast for everyone. These are such great kids and I love taking them to the Temple to do that sacred work. I hope that my children always have a desire to go to the temple whenever they can.

Emily Hollingshead had her baby today and I am so excited to see him. He weighed in at 8lbs. 14ozs and 20" long. He is Quentin N. Hollingshead. Both of them are doing well. The miracle of life----it never gets old.

Kae Lee went to take her written test to get here driving permit today. James and I told her that it isn't hard and that it was an "open book" test. Little did we know that was not the case for when you are taking it to get your permit. She had not studied the driving handbook and was not prepared for the test in the least little bit. Her first try she got 72% and the second time she got 78% and you have to have 80% to pass. She missed it by one question. We both laughed because she did really well even though she had not studied for the test. Now we will have to go back another day and give it another shot. Hopefully she will pass on the third try.
She is by no means ready to drive but she starts Drivers Ed this semester and she has to have it to drive on the road with the instructor. Watch out everyone
Kae Lee will soon be on the roads!!!!
