Are you a scrapbooker?

Did you know that our very own Kathy Stott owns a scrapbooking store? With scrapbooking stores closing all around us it is good to know where we can go for cute and fabulous supplies. It is called Mom and Me Scrapbooking and is located at 2199 East 3300 South. She has a cute blog with lots of great ideas. http://www.momandmescrapbooking.blogspot.com/

FYE

For Your Entertainment

I thought I could develop my homemaking skills by taking a cupcake decorating class, since they ARE very popular right now. We were suppose to learn to make fabulous cupcakes "that would impress our friends and family," so I signed up! Tami even thought Ashton and I could make cupcakes for the Relief Society Birthday Celebration. Great idea! The above picture is what I envisioned...but what we got was completely different. Click on the following link to Ashton's blog to see the fruits of our labors: http://www.ashjen.blogspot.com/.

Don't worry Darla we won't be having cupid cupcakes at the R.S. party in March...or should we?

Congratulations to the Boyers!

Mack Jensen Boyer (or Macaroni as Hope likes to call him) was sealed to his parents on Thursday, February 17, 2011 in the Salt Lake Temple. What a cute family! Congratulations!

Change of Date

There are a few things that take priority in the life of Grant Monson and Celtics basketball is one of them. He received "GREAT" tickets to the Celtics vs Jazz basketball game on Monday, February, 28th. Therefore, we have to change the date of the single sisters FHE to the following Monday, March 7th, since he is in charge of the lesson. Don't let this make you feel any less important in his life-now you know what it is like to be part of our family.

WANTED

Have a recipe you would like to share? Leah is in search of recipes to go on the back of the monthly visiting teaching message. Remember there isn't much room so it cannot be lengthy. Email your recipe to llindstrom@utah.gov.

Leah will be teaching the Relief Society lesson Sunday on service. She has requested we all perform at least one Random Act of Kindness this week and come prepared to share our experience.

Rebecca Reschke's Good News

Congratulations to Jake Reschke for earning his Eagle. Yes, that is a live Bald Eagle but that is not the eagle he was awarded. He was awarded his rank as an Eagle Scout Sunday evening at the Eagle Court of Honor. Way to go Jake! Congrats also to Lizzy Reschke on her recent engagement. She will be married in May.

Each One Reach One

Theme for 2011:

Each One Reach One

I'm Just a Visiting Teacher

I said to my friend today.

And my Father in Heaven heard me,

And I seemed to hear him say:

"Not just a visiting teacher,

A disciple with work to do,

And wherever you carry my message

My spirit goes with you."

"Some daughters of mine with burdens

seem to have lost the way

Go take them my love and my gospel

To strengthen them day by day."

"Never say you're just a visiting teacher

Have faith and you'll understand

When you enter a home with love & prayer

I take you by the hand."

Valentine's Dinner

Valentine's dinner at the Monson's home. We had an enjoyable evening with good friends and good food. As promised, here is a link to the recipe for the main dish: http://www.cookingbytheseatofmypants.com/recipes/simply-the-best-pork-loin-recipe-ever/

Do not make this recipe without the adobo seasoning-call your grocery store to see if they carry it before you go. Grant went to 5 stores at 10:30 pm and ended up buying it in Kearns. He loves a good challenge. I also reduced the ginger to 1 tsp instead of 2 and it was great-I didn't want it to be too strong. Good luck!

Gabriel and Noah Liddiard

Congratulations! Gabriel John weighed 5lbs 9 oz and Noah Mark weighed 5lbs 5 oz and both were 19 3/4 inches long. Everyone is healthy and doing great!
