36

 Happy 36th Birthday me!  It turned out to be a great day. Lunch with a great friend, baseball evaluations cancelled, trip to the airport to see Walker on his way home from his mission--never found him, quick dinner at Whataburger, Red Velvet cake from Costco which Joe surprised me with, presents from Joe and kids. Easter cookie cutters, The Princess Bride, Ramona and Beezus, and a Nike Sweatshirt! Fun day!  Thanks everyone. Oh and phone calls/cards from all my family--even though I barely got to talk to them that day.

 Marjorie a few days ago.  Just to be honest I may just call her Mags--it has already come out a few times!  I will call her Marjorie too though. We shall see.

 Brig took all the photos of my actual bday. They are all the dark ones, I forgot I had the camera in manual--thankful they turned out at all!

Sweet Marjorie today.

Mary took this for me. I cropped me out, sorry Marjorie. :)

We are doing well. She is already 5 wks today. The oldest 3 start baseball/softball today. I start back up with art classes next week.  I have already been back at preschool.  Let the real craziness begin I guess. I am not ready for it--as everything is quite chaotic already but oh well. Ward Conferences are almost over, they have been really fun just awful timing for me.  Fun being with the kids again though. We live in a really great Stake. I am impressed with a lot of the people and happenings in our Stake!

Marjorie

Our sweet girl today. She is precious.   She smiled so cute at me today. She looked right at my face too--pretty sure it was real!  Love her, love them all!

Happy Birthday Lucy!

She has been so sweet to me and Marjorie! She is so grown up for a 2 year old. She still does crazy things but she is so cute!

Our sweet neighbor Ryley went skating with us on Saturday and came over for cake and ice cream on Sunday night.  I love her mom Amber too.  (We love Jason and Hadley too--the rest of their family, Hadley was already in bed.)

See the contraption on Spencer's arm. He is always making things. :)

Happy 7th Birthday Lucy!  We love you so much! I am one handed again, so more to come...  Brigham is not going to this camp as it is 1,000. But we are proud of him!  Love my family.

Reigning Champions for the last year

Brigham's Pinewood Derby car 2013!  Because of his early birthday this was his last year.  He had a lot of fun designing, cutting, sanding, and more sanding/polishing of the axels, and working with Joe on this.  They have been working on it for months and it is the product of many hours!  They even went to car shop and got real corvette paint for it.  Oh my! ;)

 

So over the last 4 years of Pinewood derby's for our family one of our boys have won it every year.  That is pretty crazy.  District is coming up the end of next month. Right when baseball starts, hopefully there are no conflicts!

 

Resting on daddy!

Way to go Brigham and Joe! I am sad I had to miss it but the kids came home all excited to share with me the news. They loved some of their friend's cars too.  Heard there were some pretty awesome ones there.

Happy Birthday Mary!!!

Sweet baby Marjorie on a warm day last week!

 Mary and her art supplies!

 Sculpting clay!

 New doll!

 Last week with Gma and Gpa!

 She LOVES to help in the kitchen and she is a very good helper too.  She peels potatoes and carrots and she diced up some peppers for me this week really well!  So I let her help me with her cake. She Loved it!  It was a white party cake with the colors inside.  It turned out really well--especially for a box cake!

 Family in UT on the phone singing with us.

 Clay sculpture already.

Mary you are such a joy and great addition to our family! You provide a much NEEDED balance that we all appreciate.  You are kind and creative.  You can work hard and you are smart too! We love you so much and are so grateful to have you in our family! Happy 5th Birthday Sweet girl!
