Introducing Team Gage

Colby has been furiously studying for the DAT, can now bench a small elephant and has discovered a cure for the common cold! Well, something like that. We're singing this Sunday for a special number in church and working on perfecting our gourmet skills. We highly recommend the movie "Ratatouille" and I think its right up there with Finding Nemo and The Incredibles. Although the action does slow a little bit, it's still fantastic. In fact, it has inspired us to do some creative cooking of our own:

Perhaps not that creative, but we have churned out some good-looking food, if I do say so myself.

In other areas, some of you may or may not know, Colby and I as well as our neighbors, the Lapes, play a game called "Hand and Foot" every Sunday. Playing was all good and well and it didn't really matter who won or lost until a different player entered the game--Spanky.

With the introduction of Spanky, friendly the competition was not. The rules are simple:
1) You play to win Spanky 2) If you win, you get to keep him for a week outside your door
3) You get to place your name anywhere you want and keep a running tally of how many times you've won Spanky. Well, we really wanted the gnome for the week and so things got pretty fierce.

The cowboy had helps us remember whose turn it is and you can see why with all these people. Anyway, after several rounds of battle, the Gages prevailed and were the proud parents of Spanky---at least for the week.

Spanky was also the proud owner of something tattooed across a very special place.

This last week also earned him another tally mark next to the original tattoo. What a rebel Spanky is.

Below are some miscellaneous pictures starting with Nana and Grandad's visit and our trip to Temple Square with a sudden snowfall. It was freezing and wet but, boy, was it pretty!
