I don't have much time today, but I wanted to put a couple of highlights:

1) Just from doing family history yesterday for a couple hours, followed by not being able to sleep past 2am and doing more, I have found --

39

                                                                -- names of people who need their temple work done!  It's so fun, guys!  If you ever have spare time and you feel like doing some service, that is such an awesome way!  It is so addicting though, because it's like detective work trying to figure things out.  If you need help or tips, call me, and I would be happy to help you find some names!

2) This Saturday, I was able to babysit Drew and Cassie's kids while they went to a temple session.  It worked out for Adam's family to come as well.  The kids had so much fun together, and were not put out by the cold in the least bit!

I don't know how kids spin without becoming nauseous... 

... but it made me laugh doing the spinning :)

Private Dieter loves the swings.  Maybe he'll go into the air-force one day with that hair, just like another Dieter I know.

Conrad of course had to climb the tree.  Instead of where's waldo, where's Jaxon?

3)  One last thing that I wanted to show.  I love my interiors design class.  My teacher is very knowledgeable and all about function and class.  He is always telling us that the idea of a completely open kitchen is impracticable since kitchens would need to be completely spotless all the time -- meaning they would need to be rarely used.  Here is a picture of a great "open yet private" kitchen that I love!  What do you think?

Great site lines, very open, yet not too open, and I love the Grandma Smith desk on the left of the sitting room!

Have a great week, everyone.  Remember to call with family history help, or if you just want to chat :)
