A Weeks Recap

Here's a recap on our week:


-Ben is practising for another musical, "Thoroughly Modern Millie", at our local community playhouse. They will perform April - June. He's part of the chorus and so excited to step into another musical so soon :)
They practise 3-4 times a week.


-The youth girls started their Bible study this week (the book of James) that they are doing before their missions trip to the Phillipines in June. Dani is so excited about this whole trip and studying James. She's looking forward to visiting the girls school over there and the orphanage.


-In February DJ's workplace announced they had to cut 2 people. We are SO grateful he wasn't one of them!

Friday morning DJ and I went out for our weekly breakfast date. We went to "SILLS" in Layton.  338 Gentile is the address. It's a diner that's been around since the 1950's and run by the Sills family. It's a very popular place with a lot of morning regulars.

We both got Dale's Plate ~ consisting of 1 egg, really good bacon and SOS on hashbrowns. SOS is a standard breakfast gravy that's been served in military chow halls for a very long time.

It also came with a scone & honey butter. This isn't what I think of when I hear the word scones BUT it was SO yummy! Fried bread dough :)

**********

Yesterday we decided it was time to hit the road ~ with the ATV's. It was sunny and 53*. Our friends, the Bailey's, came along. The girls had to work so we took Ben.
We normally head for the mountains but yesterday we headed west of the freeway towards the desert. We ended up parking between Corrine and Kelton ~ just past Promontory. It was a good day to be out in the open as it was sunny but not overly warm. The direct sunlight was helpful :) 

We parked above the rocks and walked down to the sand..........

Doug & Brenda

Doug w/ Ben & Jordan in the background - The boys had a lot of fun running around and throwing rocks.

It was a great day of riding with only one mishap. At one point Ben turned into Jordan. Somehow Ben's ATV flipped and he landed in the middle of the gravel road. Bruised and a little cut up but nothing bad. Jordan used quick thinking and was able to steer away as Ben turned into him. The boys were ahead of us and as we came upon them Ben was sitting in the road with the ATV off to the side. 
It was a lesson in paying attention to what you are doing! We are just thankful no one was seriously hurt.


I did workout with Ryan this week and went snowshoeing on Wednesday with Erin. I take that back. We didn't snowshoe. We just hiked with our snow trekkers on. The snow is disappearing to fast! I'm doing pretty good drinking enough water. 
I'm hoping March is a month where I see progress!
