Katie is in the Relief Society birthday dinner program - Daughter of a King. It was put on by our ward for our ward. They needed an 8 yr. old girl. Since there are only 2 in our ward Katie got the part. Uncle Kendell was helping with the music so he got an advanced copy of the script. He was looking at it in Sacrament one day. I glanced at it - it had the cast listed, and there was my daughters name. I had no idea what this was, no one had talked to us about a production. It was probably a month before anyone called and asked if she could do the part. What a riot. (I didn't tell them I had already seen the script - it would have embarrassed them.)Name Sake

Canning this way is not so bad. Dad, and Mom Hall were there leading us onward to victory. Matt and I canned and Sam and Andria Canned, Jeanette was there in spirit and by phone. We talked of old times in the sweltering kitchen of the House on State Street. We listen to Ethan sing Queen (then put on the CD) and watched the wild life. We made applesauce and canned peaches (for the first time with Agave - haven't tried it yet, but it should be good )Daddy keeps Sam happy
Getting ready for church. Grandma Hall does Katie and Amberli's hair. We stop and pick them up on the way and get a family photo before we go. Thanks to Sam and Andria for taking them.

Amberli - lizard catcher extraordinaire
If there is a lizard in the house Amberli can catch it. Ethan and Katie tried to take this one away from her and it got away. I made them leave her alone and sure enough Amberli caught it again.
