Leatherby's

A new Ice cream shop opened up in town called Leatherby's. Kirk and I were on a date and we decided to check it out. I could not believe how expensive it was!!! You had to give them an arm and a leg just for a milkshake! So, being the poor couple that we are, we decided to split a milkshake. It took us a little bit to realize how cheesey we looked, but I decided to capture the moment anyway. :)

I love it!

Crazy Nephew

A week ago, Kirk and I were in Boise for our newest nephews - Michael- blessing. Isn't he adorable?


Well, the day of his blessing, his older brother Brennan smashed his finger in the door right before church. He was crying and it was very dramatic. :) Well, after many hugs and kisses from his parents, and a bandaid, he seemed to be doing alright. But, little kids always want to show off whenever they have a bandaid, and Brennan was no different. Here he is in Sacrament meeting showing Uncle Kirk and I his hurt finger. :)
Isn't that hilarious?! We just about died laughing when he showed his "owie" to us!

Beginning Band

Yesterday, my 6th grade Beginning Band had their very first concert ever! We played fabulous songs like When the Saints Go Marching In, and Lightly Row. They were so great! One of them asked me before the concert, "Mrs. Tingey, is it normal to feel like you're going to throw up?" They were really nervous! They played the concert during the school day in front of all of their classmates. Here are a bunch of pictures:


They worked so hard, and I'm so proud of them! Some days I think that I have the coolest job in the world. :)

Mr. Darcy

Growing up, I never even cared about Jane Austen or Pride and Prejudice. Luckily, I had a wonderful roommate in college (Adrian) who introduced me to the A&E version of Pride and Prejudice. I have been in love with it ever since!! I've watched it at least a dozen times since - and since it is so long that is no small feat. I think that I fall in love with Mr. Darcy every time!! And who could blame me?!

Now, because I love the movie so much I have been scared to read the actual book. What if I didn't like it?! Could I really claim to be a Pride and Prejudice fan? Well, today I can say that I've officially finished Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, and I think that I loved every minute of reading it! What a wonderful book! I know that books are always better than the movies, and that is even more true with this book! So, if you haven't read it, go out and read it. I would like to start another Jane Austen book. I was thinking of Emma or Sense and Sensibility - any suggestions?
