Belliston...things

All of you have clever alliterations for your headings but I couldn't think of one.  So...
It's been a while since we have come to the blog and a lot has happened since our last post.  Like Christmas and a new year!  Happy New Year everyone!!!
The weather has been warming up recently which means that Lori has been digging in the dirt a lot and planting a lot of flowers and other things.  I'm not sure what they are but hopefully they live...because they usually don't;)  Warm weather also means that the kids are riding bikes and scooters non stop and maxing out our bandaid budget.  A few weeks ago Grant fell on his scooter and his face met the edge of the scooter and gave him a nice black eye and cut on his cheek that's finally getting back to normal.  Here are a couple pictures a few days after the mishap. 
Grace loves school and was definitely ready to go back after spring break.  I don't know what she's going to do when summer rolls around.
There is a guy in our ward who works for Questar Gas and LOVES his job.  Well he came by about a week ago just to make a friendly call and check our furnace to make sure everything was good.  Well the furnace was fine but he said if you got too close to the water heater and took three deep breaths, then you would never wake up.  He then went on to explain how everything in the water heater worked, how the chemistry of carbon monoxide mixing with your blood will kill you etc.  We had a plumber come look at it and he added a few things to the list of what poor shape our water heater was in.  Well now we have a new water heater and all is well.
We are pretty flexible as far as the family gathering goes.  As long as it's fun we will be there.  We will really try to remember our own pillows this time!
