Bishop?

I am loving the website bishophiggins.com! Okay, not loving it, but have been known to chuckle out loud a time or two while reading some of the posts. Thanks, Cindy, for sharing!

Valentine craft idea?

I came across, what I consider to be, a fun idea. Check out wordle.com when you have a sec. Depending on the font you use, you can enter around 150 words about anyone or anything. You pick the font and color scheme. The almighty computer then rearranges them in lots of different ways (you choose how you want them arranged). Then you can print your creation on a normal-sized piece of paper to use for whatever your little heart desires. The only downside, as I see it, is not being able to make the words fit into more shapes. Oh, and the fact that you can't go back and edit. If you decide you want to add a word, you have to start all over.

The 2nd Annual Hales/Spencer Holiday Extravaganza

Today we went bowling with the kids in Ogden. Kayleigh was good for one game, but that was about all she could handle. About the time she started running down the lanes, Jenny and I decided it was time to take her home. Matt, Garrett and Tara stayed to bowl a second game. Matt joined "The 200 Club" with an even 200! He's now asking for matching satin bowling jackets for Christmas and begging me to join a league. If I didn't have such a wimpy bowling arm, I might take him up on it! Brandon and Brittany came over around 5:00pm. We played a get-to-know-you game with M&Ms and then had dinner - a new spice-dubbed chicken recipe, funeral potatoes, corn and rolls; dessert was brownies and peppermint ice cream (my favorite at Christmas time).
