Sister and Brother Nicholson.   We had just taken him home teaching with us and she had been working in her yard.  He is armenian and has 3 doctor's degrees and has taught the bible at the University here.  He is interesting to visit with and has a strong testimony of the gospel.

 
This was a fun day.  We had valentines in the morning, went to samonian farms in the afternoon and walked around the temple.  Happy Valentines Day to all of you.

Today was a special day.   We went to the zoo,

 watch the sea lions perform tricks,

 dug for dinosaurs bones,

 touched the stingrays and sharks,

fed the giraffes,

 ate with the ducks and geese at the park,

and last but not least Brogan opened presents.  Happy 8th birthday Brogan!  Were so glad you came to visit and share your birthday with us.  

 we made it to the farm show.  It was a nice day, notice no coats or jackets.

 We met Tom at his booth, it is across the road with the blue banner sign.  There was so much to see, we were there 3 hours and only saw a small portion of the displays.

 Brogan is at the wheel and Ashlynn and Grandpa and Tom look on.

 Now Ashlynn is driving and Grandpa is watching,

Dad was amazed at all the big machines.  He almost acted like he was ready to try farming again.

Ashlynn,  look how big they are
