We put in a garden.  The bricks and dirt are in, now we just need water and plants.

We had new beginnings last night.  Bob was the priesthood there and Rachel was there.  It was fun to be there together. Danny babysat.

Danny and Rachel got braces.  It was nice for them to be able to do it together.  They both took that day off school.  We went to the mall after to spend their money because I accidentally told them they could have $100 for getting braces.  At first Danny didn't want braces at all.  And then he really wanted invisilign.  So I told him if he really wanted it he would have to pay $300 toward it.  He's been saving his dog walking money.  But it didn't seem fair to get invisilign for Danny and make Rachel get regular, so we told her if she picks regular we'd give her $100.  So in the end Danny decided against invisilign and they both collected on their $100. Danny bought shoes and Rachel bought a bunch of stuff at bath and body works. Then Bob met us at the mall and we had lunch at the food court. It was fun to have the day with my big kids.

Then the next day I let Aaron, Seth and Ruby stay home from school and we went to the snow.  Danny and Rachel couldn't miss 2 days of school and Bob had to work.  Ruby didn't get to go to the snow in Visalia because she was sick and she's been asking when she could go.  We had a great time.  We were the first ones there and it didn't get too crowded.  The only sad part was the snow was too cold to make a snowman.
