We've been busy this month . . . .

Look what Kiana and I built together!

We've been needing a place to put our games (they were still sitting in boxes from our move in August.) One night, when the older kids and Aaron went to YM/YW , the two of us set to work to assemble our game closet. We followed the directions very carefully and only had to redo a couple of things.    It's so nice to have them neatly tucked away and easily accessible. I never realized how many games we had!  Anyone up for a game night?

(OK, I admit that I may not of told the complete truth about putting this together--it was a little more difficult to put together than I though it was going to be and if you look closely, you can see the HOLE I drilled in one of the doors by accident. UGH! Kiana & I laugh about the experience we had now, but at the time, it was quite frustrating.  Next time, I'm just going to leave the putting together to someone else.  It looks good from a distance, right?)

Goodies for St. Patty's Day and nails to match!

Some of Andrea's Art work from school was displayed at an art exhibit in town.

We were in the NEWS!

CHURCH WOMEN’S GROUP DONATES EASTER BASKETS FOR FOSTER CHILDREN

Women and young women from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints from the Sutter Buttes congregation, collected, donated, and assembled 72 Easter baskets as a service project for foster children in Yuba and Sutter Counties. The baskets contained Easter goodies, toys and hygiene items for children under the care of Child Protective Services locally.

This is the 10th year the congregation has provided the baskets for foster children.“Working on this project makes you aware of the needs of others and brought together the women and young women in our congregation. It’s great to see how a simple act of service, like making Easter baskets, can brighten the lives of children,” said Gina Chatfield, first time worker on the project.
