Aaron has been walking to work since we moved to Lyman, we only live about 4 blocks away but the weather has been really cold and windy, not Big Piney cold, but definitely cold! I’ve been proud of him, Andrew’s heart attack, (Andrew is Aaron’s younger brother,) has been a real wake up call that Aaron is taking seriously. Well on Tuesday Redi gave Aaron a company truck to drive, a big, new, four door, massive truck, needles to say Aaron hasn’t walked to work since. I asked Aaron why an accountant needs a work truck, he’s not really sure but he thinks they felt bad that he was walking to work in the cold. Aaron is in Elko, Nevada today and tomorrow, last week he was in Rifle, Colorado. Last night James cut his hand with a pocket knife, no stitches were needed thank goodness, and today Alden got locked into the car. A big thank you to the Lyman Police force! If it’s not one thing it’s another! Cousin Shelby is up visiting this week helping me get ready for the baptism/blessing on Saturday and James has his first pack meeting tonight. Here are a few pictures. The quilt is one that the Bear group made for their leader who just had a baby boy. On it they wrote advice on raising a boy. . . “Don’t let him eat his nails.” “Make sure he does his home work.” “Don’t let him play video games.” “Don’t let him puke.” I thought it was a cleaver idea. I should ask James what advice he would give on how to raise a boy. As I was tucking the kids into bed Anna gave some advice on a safety hazard, (one of the requirements that we have been working on for James’s Wolf badge.) She said, “Mom, I found another safety hazard, locking babies in a car!”
