Leah has not yet fallen in love with reading. But we keep working at it. She has been reading our phonics books and doing great. When she filled up her sticker chart from reading books she got to go to the store and pick out a new toy. She fell in love with this Barbie set because it has a kitty that drinks and pees real water. Oh my!</div>

What happens in Vegas eventually winds up on my blog. Kris and I took our first vacation since we had kids. Well vacation for me, mostly work and a little play for Kris. We were in Las Vegas for a Legal Zoom Conference. Our friends Sean and Jessi Coletti came too. (I know I have pics of them somewhere.) </div>

The first night we were treated to a Cirque Du Soleil show "O" at the Bellagio. It was a wonder for the eyes. There were so many things going on: amazing acrobatics, music, moving sets, that it was a challenge to take it in. But what fun!<br />

On Friday Jessi and I met my good friend Angela Boyle for lunch. The prices on the menu of the restaurant looked reasonable but we didn't realize it was a Tapas/ small plate place. The gold flakes on my Dim Sum gave a clue to the "real" price of our lunch. Oh well - it's not everyday we are in Vegas.

Friday night Kris and I headed out to Freemont Street and the heart of old Las Vegas. Friday night was a little wilder than when Kris had previously visited on a Tuesday but we spent a little while there. Our taxi drivers were probably the most fascinating part of our excursion. Saturday morning we pried our tired eyes open and headed back to the airport to fly home.</div>

Every month, Tal's school recognizes an outstanding student in each grade as Citizen of the Month. We were so proud and excited when his teacher Mrs Rice selected Talmage for the month of March. Student of the Month is announced at an assembly and Tal was surprised to hear Mrs Rice star reading about him. In her words:<br />
<br />
March 20th is a Great Day to be alive!<br />
Celebrating a Super Citizen who works hard and always strives:<br />
To do his best, be kind and helpful, always get his work finished on time, be creative and willing to try new things, to cheer others on with a fun attitude, to laugh and sing, to listen and follow directions, to enjoy Spanish and Math Concepts. He remembers to be happy each day, and that a smile or a silly thought can lift others to happiness. This awesome student loves books and reading.<br />
So it is a great day to be alive,<br />
Celebrating now with a grand high five.<br />
In the Sixth Grade class we will seek,<br />
An awesome Student named .......Talmage Meek!<br />

Somehow we became chicken owners. A year ago, Kris spied a coop for sale at the fundraiser auction for our children's school and when the time came wildly bid on it until we won. But with the upheaval of moving, staying with his mom, and moving again, we put acquiring the chicks on hold until this spring. Eva and I went out to the farm to pick out our own little chicks, early in March. We picked one for each child to name. Sophia - an Americana for Abi. River Song - a Rhode Island Red for Tal. Shelly and Shiny - both Golden Sex Links for Leah and Eva.<br />

All too soon our chicks got big and stinky so we moved them into a box inside their coop in the garage. The kids still love to go out and watch, hold and love their chickens. This day, Eva and Daphne were learning about the Letter B and birds so we went out and held the chickens while we talked about their different parts.<br />

It is so hard to believe that Tal is twelve already. Time flies so quickly as they get older. Tal chose to celebrate his birthday with a party at home with some of his friends. They played basketball outside on his new hoop ( crazy that we can do that in February this year), ate pizza, watched <i>Cool Runnings</i>, and ate way too much candy and cake. Mom chose to monitor the party from upstairs.<br />

Tal has really enjoyed playing basketball with his team this winter. And with a little coaxing, Kris has enjoyed coaching Tal's team. We were all excited to get this basketball hoop on the driveway, it has been a family dream for a while now. Kris and Tal spent one happy Saturday afternoon/ evening assembling it together. With such a mild winter we were playing basketball in our shirt sleeves on Valentine's day.</div>

One of the greatest things about turning twelve is that Tal could be ordained to the Aaronic Priesthood and become a deacon. He was ordained by his father, Kristopher, on Feb. 22, 2015. We were so excited to have his grandpa, Terry Fife, and our bishop, Ryan Jensen, be there as well.<br />

Becoming 12 also means that you become fully involved in the ward scout troop. Tal has been working hard on Merit Badges and requirements in eleven year old scouts and with his family. He received his Tenderfoot Rank Advancement as well as merit badges in First Aid, Inventing, and Aviation.<br />

Once he had received the priesthood, Tal could attend the temple to perform baptisms for the dead. The Idaho Falls Temple was slated to close soon for renovation so we got up early on Saturday morning to attend. Kris has been working diligently on family history on his Dad's side and had some family names for us to perform. We had a bit of a wait but it was a wonderful experience to all be in the temple together. Kris baptized each of us in turn as proxies for family members who have gone before. What a great day!<br />

While at the local library one afternoon I spied a flier for a Daddy Daughter Princess Party Fundraiser for the library. When I ran it past Kris, he was on board. Leah and Eva were thrilled with the idea of going on a date with their Daddy. They could barely contain their excitement as they got ready in their Elsa dresses for their special night.<br />

I usually hate taking down my Christmas decorations, my house looks so bare and sad afterward. But this year I found a few surprises as I packed my decorations away. Eva had artfully arranged both of these Nativities so that "everyone can see baby Jesus". I especially like how in the top one the people and animals are crowded in so close to baby Jesus. What a good reminder as we start the new year that we all should be facing toward Christ and making Him the center of our lives.</div>

I had forgotten to take pictures of our Christmas lights on our new house. We Meeks love our Christmas lights and it was fun to arrange them this year. Big thanks to Papa Fife who donated his icicle lights that he was no longer using to finish covering the front of our garage.<br />

Our winter came in a roar of snow and cold just in time for Christmas. Aunt Sue was excited to have a white Christmas. I think she was also glad to leave town just before the sub-zero temps hit. Just after New Year's the temps were up to the single digits so we bundled up and ventured out for some sledding. The drainage park at the end of our street proved to have just enough slope for a good ride but wasn't so overly long that the kids didn't tire out too quickly trudging back up the hill. </div>

With our Meek family in town for Christmas we did spend a lot of time with them. But Christmas Day we snuck away to have dinner with the Fife Family. My mom and dad have really been getting into family history this last little while. My Fife roots are in Scotland so mom and dad gave us each a special item from Scotland. Girls got necklaces or other jewelry made from Heatherstone while the littlest girls received hair bows made from the Fife tartan. The boys also received ties made from the Fife Tartan. Luckily Nana didn't make us eat Haggais, stuffed sheep stomach, for dinner.<br />

After dinner we gathered in the living room for grand-kid talent show. It is fun to see each of the different kids learning and growing in their musical talents. Here Bella enchants us with her rendition of "Let It Go" from <i>Frozen.</i><br />

This past Christmas we were so blessed to have Kris's grandparents Forrest and Beth Meek and his aunt and uncle Susan Meek Melhaff and Adam Melhaff come celebrate Christmas with us. We hadn't seen Forrest and Beth since the summer of 2005. Abi and Tal had been tiny then and didn't remember much and our youngest two had never met these great-grandparents. The weeks leading up to Christmas were filled with cooking, cleaning, preparation and great anticipation of their arrival.</div>

Sue and Adam drive in Monday afternoon and we joined up with them Monday evening for lasanga dinner at our house and lots of talking and catching up. Susan has such a sparkly personality and exudes warmth and love. I and the kids hadn't yet met Adam so it was a treat to get to know him and hear antics from his childhood.<br />

Tuesday afternoon Forrest and Beth flew into the airport. I don't know if they expected a welcoming</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
party of the whole family at the gate - but that is what they got. There were loves and hugs all around, and bundling them up against the cold Idaho winter. That evening we started our celebration with adults dinner at Stockman's Restaurant. It was joyous to share news, memories and lovely conversation with all of our family members.</div>

Christmas Eve morning Kris and Eric took grandpa out to go shooting, Abi and Talmage accompanied. I stayed home to get a few things finished up for Christmas Eve dinner. Not more than an hour passed when I received a phone call from Kris that started, "Um Honey, we have a little problem...." Those are not the words you want to hear. Unfortunately Grandpa had a little mishap with a handgun recoiling into his left eye-brow splitting it open. They stopped home for my quick assessment and then I sent them on to the Community Care for stitches. Grandpa took it like a fighter proclaiming that his scar would be a great story to tell his church group.</div>

Eric made these beautiful frames for the Melhaff's and grandma and grandpa Meek to display the pictures we just took. Present opening extended late into the night and then of course we had hugs, thank yous and goodbyes. Our kids didn't get into bed until way past eleven. I thought that they would sleep in way past the mandated 7 o'clock morning waking of the parents but Talmage roused his little sisters and Kris and I woke to excited voices looking over the stash that Santa had left behind.</div>

After many family members drifted out for different errands Kris sat down with Grandma and Grandpa Meek and recorded oral histories of their lives. He is planning on typing them up and presenting to them later. One highlight was having Talmage and Walker each try on the Boy Scout uniform that Forrest had worn as a boy. Looks great.<br />

Saturday morning and afternoon while Kris interviewed Grandpa Meek for his history we hung out with Grandma. She read every story on our bookshelf to Eva and entertained Leah and Eva with her puppet. This sweet puppet got passed onto Sarah to entertain a generation of little Meeks to follow.<br />

The Stake Center next to the Idaho Falls Temple hosted a "Journey to Bethlehem" evening where the kids I learned more about Bethlehem and what life was like at the time of Christ's birth. We made dreidels, ornaments and oil lamps; ate oranges, raisins and bread; listened to the story of Christ's birth and learned to write our names in Hebrew.<br />

</div>
In early December we got a wild hair to drive to SLC and back in one day to see the Temple Square lights. Abi had been when a baby but we had never taken the other kids to see the lights. My brother Jared now lives in SLC and it was close to his birthday so we invited him along and out to dinner. We kept the kids home from school on Friday,loaded the Christmas DVD's and snacks into the van, and we were off. We had been talking about the trip for a while and all of the kids were really excited to "Go to Utah." One of our first stops was a music store in Murray. As we pulled into the parking lot, Leah protested, "Is this Utah, it looks just like Idaho!" The rest of the trip got more exciting.<br />

We drove downtown and parked at City Creek Plaza. Leah and Eva loved riding the elevators and escaltors. We hopped on the Traxx line and rode down to the Clark Planetarium where we perused the free exhibits. Abi and Eva showed off their skills on Mars.</div>

Everyone enjoyed playing with the plasma ball. After about an hour, Jared texted that he was off work and we hopped back on the Traxx train to ride back to Temple Square. Eva commented that riding the train was her favorite part of the trip.<br />

After dinner we headed back over to Temple Square. I loved seeing the nativities from around the world and the luminaries. The trees were bright and beautiful. We crowded into the viewing pavilion watch the life size nativity production and reading of Luke 2. <br />

We also went up into the Visitors Center to see the Christus and presentation. Afterward we crossed the street and got a brief tour of the Conference Center. The kids were very impressed to see the actual building that we watch Conference in. I really enjoyed the Freiburg paintings in the Book of Mormon gallery. <br />

Here is our little Meek family in front of the SLC temple. Just over 15 years ago, this is where the Meek family began when Kris and I were sealed. Then we hopped back in the van and drove home. What a whirlwind trip but fun memories were made. In fact, when I interviewed the kids on New Year's Eve, most of them talked about our SLC trip as a favorite memory of the year.</div>

Abi dressed as a peacock. Tal created his own costume as Hawkeye from the Marvel Comic books. Eva and Leah both dressed as Elsa from <i>Frozen</i>. Leah and Eva have both had their costumes for months and regailed perfect strangers with tales of how they were going to be Elsa for Halloween. Too old for Trick or Treat, Abi went to a friend party while the three littler ones trick or treated our neighborhood. The little girls tired out by 7 and came home to watch "Spooky Pups" while Tal and Dad went to gather more loot. </div>

Leah - Eva is my best friend.<br />
<br />
Leah, after buying a ribbon wand with her ticket winnings at Leo's place on her birthday: I always wanted to be a ribbon dancer. And now I am. I'm living the dream.<br />
<br />
Tal, after breaking his retainer explained: I think it was when I was eating jerky.<br />
Mom: Oh no, I guess you can't have any more jerky.<br />
Tal: No, I remember it was when I was eating vegetables.<br />

Tal and Eva were playing on the couch with Eva climbing over from the back. Tal pulled on Eva's arm to help her over the couch. Eva became crying uncontrollably and ran to find me. After I couldn't get her to move her arm, and snuggling and ibuprofen didn't help, I took her into Community Care. The Dr. determined that her elbow was dislocated and reset it. Immediately she stopped crying and reached out for the sucker that he held out. When we returned home, Tal felt terrible. He was hiding in his room. I called for him to come out. Eva ran up to him and yelled "Ta-Da" with her arms held high.<br />

Leah was saying our family prayer and blessing everyone:<br />
Bless Abi not to fight with Tal.<br />
Bless Tal not to fight with Abi.<br />
Bless Eva not to fight with me.<br />
Bless me not to argue and <b>fart</b>...<br />
Our whole family dissolved into giggles and I doubt that prayer was ever completed.<br />

Eva's favorite phrase is "No Like It." Her favorite animal is her Tebby Bear. To mom's dismay Eva stopped taking naps while the kids were off for Fall break and never went back. After lunch though she loves to take walks or scooter rides around the block to watch the birds.<br />
