Valentine's Week

This post is about last week, and I thought I'd have pictures, but still waiting on those; I asked Mark this a.m., but he forgot. Oops! So you'll have to wait a bit longer. Sorry. However, I will tell you about last week. Let's see...well, Friday was Seth's 17th birthday! So that was exciting. We ordered him a knife he wanted, to be delivered today. He was so surprised! And we got him some junk food, too. We used the gift card from Megan and Brooks (from Christmas) to eat at Golden Corral, then we saw the movie, "Edge of Darkness," with Mel Gibson. It's quite a good movie, but has some language. Anyway, it was a fun evening. Saturday we spent at home. I can't remember what we did, but it was pleasant. Mark found out from Greg Olsen's company that he couldn't use the particular photo of Jesus he was planning to. They were really nice and grateful that Mark checked with them. It just leads to greater problems, they said. Maybe we can use one of the church's pictures. Sunday we went to church and then I can't remember the rest of the day. In Primary, the leader said that Jesus died for everyone, so we could go to Heaven (or something like that. A four-year old (or younger) boy promptly piped up with, "For Heavenly Father." She hesitated and then said, "For everyone." And he replied, "If it's everyone, that includes Heavenly Father." Later, during the sharing time, a toddler that was sitting on a teacher's lap said, "It's taking too long." Both comments were spoken loudly and very matter-of-factly. I thought they were so funny! Today Seth and I went to the dentist in Pocatello. I really liked him and his staff! His name is Dr. Evans. His brother has a chiropractic office by his, and the chiropractor is in our ward. His wife is my visiting teaching companion. Anyway, he is probably going to barter with Mark for my dentures, in exchange for a stained glass work. Isn't that cool, if it happens? Then we will save so much money! After our dental appts., we went to the Dollar Tree. That was so fun! I haven't been out for sooo long, other than church. We got sugar-free Hawaiian Punch that is super-good, and we got antibiotic ointment and 'Diabetic' socks for me (they have a nice, loose cuff that will fit on my leg), to add to my knee sock collection, and some sticky notes and sachets. Mark got some Bugles, too. Isn't that exciting? Now you are up to date, and I will try and get pics up soon. Love You! xoxoxo PS Mark got me Lindor truffles for Valentine's Day!! And thank you for the Valentine, Haley and Dallin - I loved it and the pictures of your little Gerber. : )

I hope that you can barter some teeth! That would be such a blessing! I can take pictures of their family for them if you need more stuff to barter. I could do them when we visit this year. Did Seth like his birthday knife and date with you guys? I totally missed his birthday! Sarah's was the same day and I missed it too.
Ummmm. You have some really silly kids in your primary.
Are you watching the Olympics? I watched some pairs skating online tonight. Just saw a few couples but I REALLY like one of the American couples, the one where she is Chinese or something and he is really expressive. Reminds me of Sergei Grinkov. I looked him and Ekaterina Gordeeva up the other day on You Tube and saw their daughter skate. She is a teenager now! You should look them up. Ekaterina is remarried and has another daughter. She married another skater who seems nice, but we all still miss seeing her with Sergei.

That was fun to hear about your week! I will have to try and post today. The kids in your Primary are so funny! Did you know that whenever Alex does anything in Primary, like a talk or a prayer, then after it Tristan always says in a really loud voice, "Good job, Alex!!" It's really cute and everyone laughs. He is so sweet with him and it is fun to see them grow up together and how he just accepts Alex as his brother, and doesn't question anything about him.
I'm glad you got Valentine's truffles! And I totally forgot Seth's birthday! 17- that's crazy!
I hope you find a new picture for your Primary project. I saw one someone else had done, and it was really cool looking!
