Hi, this is Tara again. I will try to tell you what has been happening around here. Well, for one thing, I have been crocheting a lot.

Here are some things that I have been crocheting recently:

• A turtle for my friend's B-day.
• A Bird for another one of my friends
• and a cupcake for her sister.
• lots of flowers!

Here are some things that I want to crochet but I haven't started them yet:

• An angel at www.lionbrandyarn.com
• Some baby stuff
• A cute little panda bear that I found a pattern for
• Something for my friend, Aloma’s, Birthday (I still need to look around a bit)
• And, lots of other things that I’ve seen patterns for but since I haven’t finished the other things on my list yet…I guess they’ll have to wait!

Other things I have been doing include playing with kids around here, enjoying the warmth of these recent days, reading, and going on a very cold hike! Bryce suggested it first. He asked if Seth and I wanted to go. At first I didn’t think that I wanted to, but then I decided that it would probably be really fun, since I hadn’t gone down the donkey trail for a while. So, I went, and Seth did too. We soon realized that the trail was covered in snow most of the way because the trail went over a hill and the way we were going, (which was up) the snow hadn’t melted yet because the sun was on the other side. Anyways, I was wearing capris, and tennis shoes, and only a denim jacket, without pockets and I had no gloves or a hat or anything! Yeah…tell me it’s too cold…I figured that out the hard way already! So, by the time we got home, we were all cold, and hungry, and scratched up from the scratchy snow that was almost up to my knees, and it wasn’t the funnest hike that I had ever been on, but we still had a good time, and said things that were funny enough for the occasion, but…I doubt that you (or I) would laugh at them now. : P

And now, for the pictures!

We got lots of snow...but it is mostly all melted now.

Seth and Sharayah built a snowman!

I crocheted a turtle
and a Hello Kitty!
These icicles were hooked onto our van, and when Dad drove it away... :)

Here's Maitlei!

And here she is again!
Matthew was looking at something--and then at the camera!

And, last but not least...My two favorite pictures of me with Matt!

This one is older, from September 2009, but I decided to put it on here anyways!

Well, thats all for now. Bye till next time!
