February 2025: Birthdays and social get-togethers never cease!

Saturday, February 1st: Our ward asked us to host a mini dinner at our house for a few couples. We had the Kevin and Christie Boyack and Kevin's recently widowed mother, Marcia Boyack; Troy and Erin Walker; and Connor and Dina Litton. What made the meal fun was having each couple bring a part of the dinner. Everything was delicious, and our guests were delightful.

February 6-12: Heidi Hatch came to visit from Utah! It was wonderful to have her here and to get her together with our kids. Wish she could have stayed a lot longer, especially since she had to work remotely from morning till evening during the week. 

This girl was a natural at pickleball
