Mesa Temple Lights

Geddes has been begging us for weeks to go see the lights at the Mesa Temple. So we bundled up and headed out to brave the 53 degree weather. Once there, we got to be herded through the very crowded pathways, and hear the beautiful music from the Christmas Program. Geddes had a lot of fun, and can't wait to go again next year.

A Year Gone By

So it has been almost a year since our last post, so SORRY! In the past year, a lot has happened. As you already knew, Harley got accepted into BYU-Idaho and she has two semesters under her belt now. She started in June and got home about 2 weeks ago. She absolutely loved it up there, and made lots of new friends. She especially loved being close to the Ricks side of the family for a bit, and hanging out with her cousin Rachel all the time. She's off track for the winter, so she won't have to go back until April, and she is pretty glad to be in Arizona for the coldest months of the year. She is also hoping to do a study abroad somewhere, or maybe even a volunteer program in India, Africa, or China.
Baxter has a part time job at the local driving range that he loves because he gets to golf for free whenever he wants. He has really honed his carving skills and loves making things for his siblings and parents.

Geddes is halfway through 2nd grade and he is doing great! He has really missed Harley for these past 6 months and he is thrilled to have her home for awhile.

Addison is just a few months from graduation, and she is working at In N Out Burger. She is enjoying it and is making lots O' money, which she is saving for whatever she is doing after graduation.

Well, that's the jist of the year! Hopefully we will be better at posting now that Harley is home.
