Montana was recently transferred to Kirkland, WA. Her letters mention how much she loves her ward there---K4 as they call it. She says the members in the ward are so missionary-minded and so willing to help out at any time. Not even two weeks after she got there I got a random text on a Saturday night from a man named Wendell Bruner. He was a member in K4 and he and his wife were here in Utah visiting with family. He wanted to come visit with us. They had gotten to know Montana in the short time she'd been in their ward. And what an awesome visit it was! The Bruners are such great people! It was such a wonderful thing to know that they'd seen and been with Montana only a few days earlier. I sure appreciated the effort they made to come see us and tell us about some of the missionary experiences they have had with Montana recently. </div>

Last weekend Gina's mom passed away. She had had kidney failure for quite a few years but she recently got sick and just couldn't recover. Ralph and Joanne have been living in St. George for the past several years so that's where the funeral was going to take place. I hadn't planned on going down especially since the family had planned a 2nd memorial service in Salt Lake. But, as Lisa, Lisa, Marci and I began texting once we heard the news, we decided to make a quick, overnight girls trip to be with Gina for the funeral.</div>

Although the occasion was sad and somber it was SOOO fun to be together with these 4 awesome lifelong friends. These are the ladies that have made me into the person I am today. These are the girls I spent most of my life with from the time I was in 6th grade. And, even though we don't spend very much time together, it's like no time has passed when we DO get together. </div>

It was not a normal morning. I got Indy and Emerson off to school, went to get back in bed to read my scriptures when I got a text from Indy. He said there was a deer stuck in our neighbor's fence. I actually thought he meant across the street. Well, he meant our next door neighbor. And the fence is <i>right</i> outside our garage side door. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was not a pretty picture. The deer was still alive. It didn't impale itself. It was obviously jumping over the fence but its back leg didn't make it and then its hoof got caught in a rung. It had probably been stuck all night. Poor thing. You could tell it was really tired because it couldn't stand up any longer. I ran inside and called Orem Animal Control. They arrived within about 15 minutes. Obviously they had to put it down. </div>

A new year is a good time to start out fresh right?? I don't know why but I decided to take off my eyelash extensions. Don't get me wrong. I really loved having them most of the time. But, some days, I wanted to pull them all out one by one!! And it wasn't all that fun to keep up with them. The girl who did mine was quite reasonably priced but it usually took 1 1/2-2 hours to get them filled about every month.</div>

It was quite a shock to look in the mirror at first. But, now---almost 2 weeks later, it isn't as bad as I thought. I may actually keep them off for a while. </div>

We took the kids up on Boulder Mountain one afternoon for a little sledding. We only had a few good working sleds so everyone had to take turns. But Kam kept the jump nice and groomed while the kids did their tricks. It was a beautiful, sunny day---perfect for the occasion. </div>

There was quite a bit of snow in Grover which made it picture perfect. I didn't feel like I watched enough Christmas movies, ate enough treats or took enough naps. Oh well. There's always next year. And, by next Christmas, Montana will already be home! Weird!</div>

I didn't care about anything else but talking to these 2 missionaries yesterday. We had to Skype over at the Hale house so we could use their wifi. I was so nervous that there were going to be complications or that we wouldn't be able to Skype. But, in the end, it all worked out perfectly. We talked to Finn for 45 minutes and Montana for about an hour. It was awesome! They both seemed happy and content. It was absolutely worth every sitting in that freezing cold house!</div>

We got an email from Finn's mission president a few weeks ago asking us, as parents, to send a small gift to the mission for a zone gift exchange they'll be doing for Christmas. They gave a list of suggestions of things that many missionaries would like----things like shampoo, conditioner, deodorant etc. My brain started turning. I decided to get my family in on the project and collect as many of those things as we could and put them on a truck to McAllen in time for the zone conference. </div>

The picture above is only a sampling of the amount of supplies we gathered. We ended up with about 100 pounds worth of goods. Hopefully, not having to buy these things for a month or so will help some of the missionaries in Texas.</div>

I'm sure my sister Kaci would not be happy that I'm posting this picture. But I love Will's face. Here we are at Thanksgiving dinner at Players. Will and Ethan don't really want to have anything to do with any of the food. But Aaron is insisting that Will eat so many bites of sweet potato before he can have any pumpkin pie. So here Will is, crying his eyes out, while he gags down a few bites. I should have gotten the after pic when he was happily eating his pumpkin pie-----tears still in his eyes. </div>

We had our annual Heaton Zion trip last weekend. It was really fun but way too short! The Masons decided to make the long trek from Mesa to hang out with us this year. It was really fun to have them along as you can attest by the top photo! Brian is never afraid to have a little fun….</div>

So I have had this ugly varicose vein since I was pregnant with Emerson. I have gone in to the doctor probably 2 or 3 times to see about having it removed. However, I have never actually followed through with it for one reason or another (timing, recovery, out-of-pocket cost). This year I <i>finally </i>did it. After Indy's major surgery, we had met all our deductible AND our out-of-pocket limits. So basically it was free.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They made about 14 tiny incisions and actually pulled the vein out. Laser therapy wouldn't have been as effective in my case. Luckily it was a surface vein which made for a pretty easy procedure. They just numbed my leg all along the vein, pulled it out and I was done in about an hour. </div>

Then, on Saturday of the break, Kurt was asked to perform a wedding for his friend Denzil and his fiance Jen. He had asked Kurt a couple months ago if he would perform the ceremony. So Kurt went online and did everything he needed to do to become a minister (?). It went really well. The ceremony was in Zion National Park right next to the river near Weeping Rock. Kurt mostly just oversaw the entire thing. He really didn't say too much. Seeing how many weddings his dad did in his life then I guess Kurt is just following in his tradition-----just not as a judge!</div>

Screen grabs make for terrible pictures but I had to post anyway! KSL ran a special about the Mexico City MTC on Saturday between conference sessions. And there is Finn in the royal blue tie! I didn't actually see it as it was airing but McCall Christensen tweeted about it and posted this pic. It, of course, made me tear up to see him and his smile. Man, I miss that kid. </div>

Friday was Vivint's year-end party for all of its employees. Last year they threw a carnival and a Nitro Circus show. This year they had Imagine Dragons come to Energy Solutions Arena and do a private concert. I'm not a huge fan but their I'm familiar with the songs they play on the radio. But I have to say that I was impressed with the show they put on. Of course, Kurt and I were in the second row so that may have had something to do with it! I feel kind of guilty now that we didn't give up our seats to Emerson and Indy. They were still at the show but just not on the floor. I'm sure they will have plenty more chances to get good seats to a concert in this life....</div>

Last Sunday, at our family dinner, Sunne brought a whole box of pictures. She had tons of pics of all the kids when they were little. I couldn't stop staring at the above picture of Emerson. She was the most delightful baby and toddler. Oh how I miss those days....</div>

I'm feeling so grateful today for tender mercies. Montana has been having a hard time these past few weeks. I didn't get to chat through email with her last week because of some Google problem. So I've been stressing all week about how she has been doing. But I am amazed how prayers are answered through other people. This past week, of all weeks, so many people have called or texted to ask for her email or address. I KNOW that she will be okay and she will make it through this challenging time with the love and support of so many people. And I am so grateful for those around me who are in tune enough to hear promptings to do something-----especially something for my sweet missionary daughter. </div>
