6 months after the move to Manila, UT

This is the second time I have tried to write this so here goes again....

We are enjoying our new home in Manila. We live in a beautiful valley. The Uintah mountains border the south side and the Flaming Gorge Reservoir is on tne east end of the valley and town of Manila borders Wyoming on the west side.  I need to figure out how to post pictures on this blog. We have beautiful views of the Uintahs and the gorge from our house.

We are all adjusting at our own pace to our new home ,some better than others.   Alan is enjoying teaching again and he enjoys having Robert in his class.  Robert has been a great student and is doing well.  Christopher is also doing well. He enjoys his friends and cubs scout activities.

We got to learn how to ice fish last month.  We went to a free ice fishing clinic at Moose Pond which is about 25 min towards Veral.  The boys loved it! They each caught two fish.  I cleaned them and fried them up for dinner that same night.  Yummmm.

We have gotten a lot of snow from October through December .  I love it!  We just have cold weather right now. I'm anxiously waiting for the next storm.

Allanah left for college January 6th.  She was so ready to go. She is adjusting to college life at Snow College in Ephraim, UT.  She seems happy and  making friends.  I miss her !  But I am glad she has moved on.  We are really proud of her.

Erin is loving seminary and has read the Book of Mormon twice this year! Last year  she really struggled to wake up for it.  Now it's her last class of the day and one of her favorites.

Joseph is lturning 13 this week! He is well.....13 need I say more? :)
 He's a good boy, he has grown a lot and continues to be a bottomless pit.  He got his first babysitting job yesterday. He tended 5 kids between ages 4-10 for 8 hour.  He did an awesome job.  He was proud of himself too.  Money was definitley the motivating factor.

I am getting involved in family history. We have a FHC in our ward building and people to help.  It is so fun.  I really enjoy it.
I am also substitute teaching at the school and I actually just got trained to be the OT And speech aid. I will do,that in the afternoons from 1:00 -3:20.

I'll post more soon and hopefully I'll get some pictures on here.
Bye for now.
