For Family Home Evening tonight we had a lesson on preparedness. We bore testimony to the children of the peace we felt this week even when the world was in turmoil. We are prepared. Wow, how did we get so lucky to have the gospel in our lives?!We played a family favorite game of Bean Bag Archery and followed that with a very scientific taste test. The blind taste test was fun and I was very surprised by the results. The choices were:
A. Moos Milk (a product Utahns seem to love)
B. Regular Skim Milk (from the store)
C. Powdered Milk (from the cannery)
And the winner is...Powdered milk from the cannery! Who ever would have guessed. It was Russ', Chad's, Ava's, and my favorite. Sarah liked milk from the store the best. The Moos Milk was everyone's least favorite (I think I must have made it wrong!). I have tried the chocolate Moos Milk and that is irresistible.

It snowed last week and here is proof. Only 3 months this year with no snow in them. That is crazy!!! I'm already planning a warm vacation while at the same time shopping for ski clothes.

And last but not least, I can never ever get enough of my parents! Seriously, we just laugh and laugh and I just feel giddy. I loved their visit this last Friday. Chad got his trumpet in the mail that night and Mom picked it up and played for the first time in 53 years!!!! I couldn't believe it! Even my Dad had never heard her play in his entire life.
And ooh la la, as if we all didn't know their house is amazing...their floor plan was just chosen as the 2008 Golf Magazine Dream House http://www.golf.com/golf/courses_travel/article/0,28136,1806776,00.html. What great validation after such a big undertaking.

Snow already!!! What a fun FHE. Remember growing up on powder skim milk? Why I think store bought fat free milk taste creamy!!! Thanks for the taste test.
Loved the clip with our Mom who can do ANYTHING she puts her mind to. I have not seen Mom since the cruise 19 months ago. Way to long. XOXOOXOX
What a fun FHE idea. Very cool. We got snow here too! Both on Saturday and Sunday. It's supposed to be in the 70's by the end of the week though, so I'm glad we're still getting our fall. Your mom is so cute! Fun to see her again (even if it's only in video).
wow.. I tried the food storage milk thing once, to see if we could hack it.. not even close.. but I think it may have been made wrong.. no surprise!! And I must admit I am a bit jealous of the winter weather.. we are still in the 80s here.. I am ready for hoodies at least!!! Your mom is a crack up.. and that house is beautiful!!
Hi Leah! I didn't know you had a blog or I would have been reading a long time ago!
Thanks for the Malava info. I'm totally getting some!
And as for the food storage milk...yikes! We have a hard enough time drinking regular milk around here. It will be a very sad day if we ever have to tap into our powdered milk. I'm buying lots of calcium suppliments to keep on hand just in case...
