Kids

Today I got together with four of my good high-school friends. Missy Segura (Riverton), Amber Odekirk (Kentucky), Autumn Labarca (West Valley), and Karalee (in transition from England to Las Vegas). It was really great to see all of my friends 9 years after we graduated. Between the five of us we have eight children now! So hard to believe. I see Autumn and Missy occasionally since they live here in Utah and Amber is really good about letting us all know when she is in town so I see her every couple of years. Karalee I haven't seen since college. Anyway, we had a really good time and I'm sure everyone else went home with a headache like I did. It was quite chaotic with nine children there, but well worth the visit. Thank you Amber for getting us all together. Thanks Missy for opening your home and food to us all, we had a great time!
Josh (Autumn's nephew), Andrea Labarca, Ryan Dean, Megan & Kate Segura, Lina & Brinlee Odekirk, Jack Segura (on the back of the couch).

The kid with the arm on her face is Autumn's girl Andrea. To her right, around the circle they go like this: Megan (4- Missy's), Lina (2 Amber's), Brinley (sp? 9 months, Amber's), Jack (2 1/2 Missy's), Kate (4 months, Missy's), Ryan (2, Jen's), Ryley (3 months, Karalee's). This one is my favorite, even though Autumn's arms are still in the picture, it's the best one I took on my camera.
This one is a good one too.

Andrea seems to have had a very bad time.

Spode Dish Factory

I went with a few friends on a mommy-field trip to the Spode Dish factory in Malaysia.  We had the best time and it was an experience I won't soon forget.  We met at Becky's in the morning and got our three car caravan ready to go.  We said a prayer, did a cheer and were off at about 9 am.  We crossed the border without any issues (except for toll top-up cards) and hit the road.  In about an hour we arrived at this little side-of-the-road pottery market.  It was typical of a third-world place. True Outlet shopping.  There was a nice aluminum roof and some big fans to keep us cool.  The plates were very dusty from being outside so long but there were so many lovely treasures.  We all had a good time just wandering around searching for new dishes. I was looking for a set of every-day dishes and anything else was a bonus in my mind.  Spode is a European brand that outsources production to Malaysia.  Their retail cost is pretty high...

Skiing

This winter has been AWFUL so far.  I just KNEW it would be too!  We've had two very mild winters back to back and I knew that meant we would have to pay for it this year.   The inversion has been so bad this year that since Christmas it's been above 30 degrees like 3 or 4 times!!! Most days, it's been in the teens or lower.  I've been substituting for a teacher who was on maternity leave since December 10th.  So many inside recess days, I thought I was going to lose my mind.   My long-term job ended on Friday and with Martin Luther King Junior day on Monday, I just really wanted to get out of the inversion.  I tried to convince Colin to go to Las Vegas with me but we decided that wasn't very realistic, still cold there too.   Then I proposed skiing and we both decided it would be really fun to take the boys!  I was really pretty nervous about teaching both of the boys but the day was so amazing I couldn't even believe it.  ...
