Lamest Kids Meal Prize


No joke! I got this yesterday from Wendy's in Lehi on 2/29/9. I'm like, "What? Are they throwing their trash in my lunch? Let me know if anyone has gotten a lamer prize. FYI: it is the worst Wendy's I've ever been to. The food is usually aweful. The Wendy's just off the University Parkway exit is the best one I've ever been to. The food is fresh and they are fast and they have never messed up my order.

Finally Done!!!

We finally got the glass in!!! After almost a year in the making, we can finally take a shower in our own bathroom! Woot! Woot! How do you like the cool pictures I put in the bathroom? I took J&J to JCP to use our gift card and other than some shirts, we really couldn't find anything we wanted to buy, so we got these pictures for the bath. On to the next project!

What did you do for Valentine's Day?


So what did you do? Here is a little known fact about the "Sweet" side of the family. We actually have relatives that were born on Valentine's Day, named Valentine Sweet. How very original our ancestors were!

We started the day off with a racquetball game against the Ahlstrom's. They beat us the first two games and then we regrouped and beat them the next three. I love having Dave on my team! He's awesome!

I spent most of the afternoon making a nice dinner for my boys (and when I say "boys", I mean Dave too) and my mom. We had a candlelight dinner with fine linens, crystal goblets and nice music in the background. The food was so good, we didn't have room for dessert, so we had to save it for Sunday. It was nice to have my mom here.
Good times!

Hey Mom!

Be careful! It's easy to loose your balance when your on the ball. I learned that the hard way...Thank you in advance for the package! I hope the mail doesn't mistreat it like they did with my last package.

Congratulations on your calling as the Primary Chorister! I don't think you'll have much trouble memorizing all of those primary songs. Didn't you have most of them memorized at some time or other? I kind of miss my guitar. Sometimes there's nothing to do on P-days, so I usually just take a nap.

The weather has started to warm up here. The past few days I've been wearing short sleeve shirts and today I was debating on going without my jacket. I think it's like 60 out today. You don't have to go sledding by yourself. You can take Molly with you!

I'm slowly getting to know the area and members better. We've been doing a lot of tracting mostly since our teaching pool is low. Not much luck so far, but we're still lookin'. My companion's first name is Jared. The bike experience is still ok. my legs are sore almost every day, but its not bad.

Love,
Tha Zacksta

I Won!!


I just got a call from KOZY 106.5 and they said I won a contest for a Valentine Get Away to Wolf Creek Utah! Dave and I get a 2 night stay, 2 passes to Wolf Creek Resort, $100 Dining Certificate, snowshoes and a hose drawn sleigh ride, plus a $200 gift certificate to JC Pennies.
We don't ski anymore so if anyone is interested to 2 passes on the weekend of 2/26 let me know.

Most excellent, awesome news!

I just found out that my brother is coming home from his second tour of duty to Afghanistan by the end of the month, safe and sound! He's been gone a year and we have missed him very much! We love you Rod!

New Calling...for reals.

I was called to be the the Primary Chorister last October, but the person that was leaving didn't end up moving until this next week. I'm sad to leave my cute little class, but I will see them in singing time.

My brother-in-law, Bob came and took one of the cars out of my driveway! I'm doing the happy dance!! Had to make the celebratory Triple Chunk Brownies for that!

Tomorrow I'm getting an estimate to have my shower door installed.... FINALLY! My boys are getting tired of me using their shower. Me too!

More Missionary news


Hey Mom!

NO WAI! I can't believe you actually bought some 4-wheelers! How did you get them home? How are you going to keep them dry? What's the big idea of buying all of this fun stuff after I leave?
You might be able to put them on the side of the house if you can fit them through the gate.

I'm glad you guys enjoyed the Fazookas! I ate some last night for dessert actually. It was mighty tasty! You might also try it with different flavored ice creams and toppings. I've had it with vanilla ice cream and fudge topping and then with mint chocolate chip ice cream and caramel topping. Both were delicious.

Keep practicing spencer!


So lately I've been riding my bike a lot. I think that by the end of my mission, I'll have quads of steel. We don't have very many investigators in this area so lately we've been doing a lot of tracting. We have 4 investigators at the moment. There's Lori, who is the closest to baptism. She has been taught all of the lessons, but she has to come to church 3 times in a row before we can baptize her so we're trying very hard to get her to church. Last Sunday she didn't make it be cause she was sick.Then there is Laura whom I haven't met yet. I guess she doesn't really count since we lost contact with her and we don't know how to regain contact except through her sister who won't return our calls. Then there is Erika(different Erika lol). She's been pretty busy lately but we have an appointment this week. And last but not least, there's Ennette who was a referral from church headquarters. We've taught her about the restoration and we have a return appointment this week to teach about the plan of salvation.
So basically we've just been busy tracting...
OH! and one of the members at church said that there are racket ball courts on the military base. So now I just have to get someone to give us a ride one of these P-days so we can go play...

Well gotta go!

Lots of Love (and hugs[and pokes for Mike]),

A Few Friends...LOL


I saw this picture on Nadia's facebook and it amused me!
Which one do you relate too?
