Levan Homestead: January 2017

January 2017 began with a bang for Bethany. She was headed for Grandpa

Marvin's to learn how to braid a bull whip on Jan. 2, 2017. It was a stormy

day and the roads were slick. A lady pulled out in front of her and

she couldn't avoid the crash. Silvie fared better by a long shot as you can see.

Although the driver of this car had to be cut out because

the car door was so damaged and she was hauled off

in an ambulance, she had minor injuries and was home

by that evening. She was bruised and sore, but will recover.

Poor Silvie!

Jan. 3, 2017 Snowed In?

The following day there was another BIG snow storm.

Dad and Bethany had to make a trip to pick up her kids

as she was told early in the day they were snowed in

and he would not be able to make the trip down. This

shot was taken in the early afternoon following our shopping trip.

The year didn't start a lot better for Baby Wil.

He got a cute little camo-cast on the morning of January 5th. The Tibia was

broken on Dec. 30, 2016. It was not reported until the pick-up late on Jan. 3rd.

The Bee shed is being transformed into a wood working shop.

There are progress shots. We suspect it will be in full operation in 2017.

January was a month of great improvement for Grandma Anna. The liquid diet of prior months has been replaced by moresolids. She is doing projects that make her feel useful. Thisis one of the baby quilts she has tied. She attends her full blockof church rather than sacrament meeting and did a sealing session recently.

The drill team moms decorate the bus before each competition.

I had two runs this month so my bus has been pretty fancy!
