SWINE FLU!

I have become quite a germophobe since the outbreak of swine flu. I know that some of this has worn off on Ellie and she is now the expert on the symptoms, the effects, and how many friends in her class she thinks has it. The following is a conversation we had in the car on our way home from school the other day.

Ellie-There were four kids in my class out today and Mrs. Dutson was also out. Mom, what is a swine anyway?


Me-It's a pig but that doesn't really have to do with anything with the sickness.


Sarah-"I'll never kiss a pig! I want to but I won't!"


This must still be on Sarah's mind. Last night, while my friend Kandyce was babysitting her she had this conversation with Kandyce.

Sarah- How did your dog Max die?
Kandyce- He got sick.
Sarah-What did he get sick from?
Kandyce- He had cancer.
Sarah- So he didn't kiss a pig!

PRICELESS!

$17 tickets, $4 cotton candy, spending the day with the family PRICELESS!

One of the reasons we love living in Logan is all the benefits of living in a college town. Ellie sings with a group that has student teachers from Utah State. We love being involved with community by going to the football games (fun atmosphere, getting better team) and basketball games (crazy fun atmosphere, awesome team)!

The most PRICELESS part of living here are the amazing college students that eat dinner with us on Sundays. We appreciate the good example they are to our girls. It is PRICELESS to give our girls an example of people that are hardworking, involved with church and school activities, laugh, are service oriented, and are getting a college education all at the same time! Thanks- Bridget, Steve, Nat, Kim, Malory, and Logan for the example you are providing to my kids it is PRICELESS!
Ellie and Big Blue at Family Fun Day- lots of great activities for the family and that day everything was free.


Sarah at Family Fun day! Thanks go out to Grandma and Grandpa Pratt for getting the girls the great outfits for their birthdays!
