Sacrament song

The ward music coordinator called and asked if our family would do a special number for sacrament meeting this month. She left it up to us to decide if we all wanted to sing, play piano, or whatever.  Kade was pretty excited to sing and wanted to sing "Gethsemane" written by Melanie Hoffman. It's one of those songs that makes it hard not to cry when someone sings it. Thankfully my nerves were fired up for him so my eyes stayed dry. He did a wonderful job and received many compliments on what a great voice he has and a true talent

he possesses. Many were so grateful for the spirit he was able to bring to the meeting. Such a neat experience for him.

Masters Degree here I come!

I officially started working on my masters degree classes today! It is very exciting, scary, fun, and frustrating all at the same time. Exciting, because I have always wanted to earn my Masters Degree. Scary, because I worry my math brain is too rusty to function at full capacity. Fun, because I get to play with fun math problems. Frustrating, because I am

reminded of all the information I use to know and have forgotten.  It is going to be so great to be fresh on all of my upper division math again!!! Wish me luck!

Spontaneous Service with a Smile

Jan 30 It has been a slow paced Saturday. We had planned on taking the boys skiing today but it was a stormy windy day so we opted to go another day. The boys had mix feelings about that. They were disappointed but they know how miserable it can be in the frigid wind. 

In the afternoon the boys were trying to figure out what to do, I was working on one of my Master's Degree classes, and Darryl was napping.  The boys finally decided they wanted to go outside and play. I knew I needed to go out and shovel the 3 inches of freshly fallen snow but I wanted to just finish the chapter I was working on so I stayed a while longer at the computer.  Kade came down to check-in about 45 min. after he'd gone out. He announced he had just shoveled our driveway and the neighbors.  After a few questions I discovered he had some help from our neighbor Clint and his snowblower. Kade headed aback out to help shovel another few driveways.  As I watched him shovel I was impressed with how hard he was working. The best part though was how happy he was.  He went from being so bored that he thought his life was over, to being so pleasantly happy that he wanted to keep shoveling. There is a happiness pill for you: service! It's cheap and has very few adverse side effects.

Date Day

Jan 29 Last night Darryl's buddy sent him a text and said he had a couple lift passes to Sundance Resort for today if he wanted them. I made arrangements for Cole to go to a friends house before he had to go to school and it was planned. The morning was beautiful! It was cold but sunny so it wasn't too bad.  It was nice to have a day where Darryl and I could just got hang out together. We skied until 1ish and then stopped for lunch. When we came out of the lodge the sun was covered by grey skys and the wind had arrived. We decided to be done and head back to get work and schoolwork done. We skied the way down and hit one run a couple times before leaving the resort. It was a great day. But it didn't end there. We had our date with the Goodes to Hale Theater planned for tonight too so after a few hours of business, dinner, and kids we headed out to see a funny play, The Nerd.  What a great end to a wonderful day with my bestfriend--love him!

Redmond made Forbes Magazine

Redmond was picked as one of the top

25 small companies in Forbes magazine. Though the bit about Redmond was small I still thought it was a great compliment to an amazing company.  Darryl nominated the company a while ago and he was pretty happy when he found out Redmond was chosen. Forbes

Redmond on Forbes Lists

• America's Best Small Companies 

When a 1958 drought decimated their farm, brothers Milo and Lamar Bosshardt turned to mining the rich salt beneath it. In 1992 the family brought in Rhett Roberts, who repositioned Redmond’s reddish-hued salt as a premium product, emphasizing how it melted at a lower temperature than conventional white salt and boosting efforts to market it as superior for the dinner table. In 1999 Roberts bought the company and became CEO , doing away with titles and instituting a profit-sharing program that divvies up 10% of the firm’s net income among employees. He also opened up the company books, informing all employees about sales and profits Jan 28th.

Bosshardt Shareholders Mtg

We are not Bosshardt Inc. shareholders but since one of the couples couldn't make it to the meeting Uncle Jay invited us. We were excited to spend the evening with Darryl's relatives. The itinerary was a fabulous meal, business discussions, and an entertaining play.  How could we turn that down? Plus we got to spend some time with Darryl's parents. It was a fun opportunity.

Cole B-day

Jan 8th It was Cole's special day today but all he wanted to do was go swimming at, "the place with the green and blue slide," aka Provo City Recreation Center.  We opted to celebrate on Saturday so we could ha e more time at the pool. We all went and had a great time. Kade, Clint, and Darryl and fun climbing the rock walls and diving into the pool. Cole had fun racing anyone that would race down the green and blue slides.  After we were waterlogged we headed to find somewhere to eat. We agreed on a Mexican restaurant and ended the night with ice cream at Farr's.  Cole hasn't changed much over the past 6 years. He's always been our entertainment.  Everyone loves to just listen to what he's going to say next and watch for what he'll do.  We love this little guy and can't imagine our family without him. {Sorry Cole, I said little again! He hates that.} 

Kade Arrow of Light

Jan 7th. Tonight was Kade's Arrow of Light ceremony. He just loves everything about the scouting program so it wasn't shocking that he completed all his requirements to earn his Arrow of Light, Webelos badge, and Religious Knot.  He's such a great kid and so it was nice for him to have the spotlight on him--especially because he loves when it is. :-)
