More of birthdays and such...

 Spencer got a new belt from my parents. My dad made the belt for him--nice job DaD!  Spencer got to pick out the buckle.  Brigham got one too but it is too big right now.  Spencer said the kids at school really like it. :)

 These are our amaryllis.  I am going to give more plants as gifts, our family has LOVED this!

 Now all four are open and that little bottom spurt is opening.

 Ha, ha she was in the middle of telling me something and I somehow caught this funny face. She was so cute opening her simple gifts.

  Candy...

 Some little ponies and m&m's from my parents. (And money for diapers.)

 A chocolate bar and balloons from us.

 Holding all her loot...

 Blowing out candles on peanut butter pie.

 Just opening....

 This sweet little man is 2 months old today!  Love you Heber!

Joe and I both got new callings today in our ward (church group). Joe is the Young Men's President now instead of 1st Counselor.  I am the 1st Counselor in Primary now instead of Sunday School teacher for 16-18 yr olds. I will miss them, I loved it the short time I got to be in there. But I am excited to be back in Primary. I love primary. I will be serving with Mimi Porter, Calleen Vance and Sariah Norton.

Happy 2nd Birthday Marjorie!!!

 How can you not love this girl? I mean, really, look at her...

 Happy Birthday sweet Marjorie!  We love you so much and are so thankful you are in our family. You are so kind and loving. You are talking a lot and saying pretty much everything. You love to play with all of your siblings.  You love to dance, play with Barbies and just recently Caiiou. You love to go on walks with Taffy or anyone/thing really. You are a good eater, you LOVE frozen blueberries, chocolate, and my wheat/oats peanut butter cookies. You love going to Nursery at Church, coloring, drawing, painting, playdoh.

 This is our amaryllis, someone gave us the bulb in this cute red pot for Christmas, it barely had a bud.  This picture was taken yesterday and today the flowers are bloomed all the way. It is beautiful. It was such a great gift for our family, we have loved watching it grow everyday. It has done way better than the chia pet we got Joe.

 So cute.

 Needs a caption. Probably saw Sarah coming.

 Nice name.  Only one in his school to get an award in his age group, this is on District level.

Another one of my art students won First place in her division and her entry will go on to State! Wahoo! Great job Lillian!

Happy Birthday Brigham!

 Mary got a reward at school, it was to take her doll with her on Friday. She was excited, and out of all her doll clothes she picked a top that was mine or Shan's from 30 years ago. :)

 Lucy helped me with Brig's cake.

 the ball on the right is a soccer ball, don't judge! ;)  Just kidding, you can make fun of it.

 The weather has been cold for over a month until the past few days and thankfully it was awesome!
Mason, Spencer, Riley, Nathan.

 Heber slept on the couch through the first couple of hours of party.

 Skittle game, pretty fun!

 Bubble blow.

 Nathan, Ben, Brigham.

 Noodle game.

 Brigham and Micah.  The boys had a fun time. We fed them hamburgers, hotdogs, chips, cake and ice cream. They played games outside and a few minute to win it games. We did a toilet paper mummy one, cookie on face, and balloon one that I didn't get pictures of.

 New glove.

This is our amaryllis that a sweet lady gave us for a Christmas present. It was just a bulb in a cute vase at Christmas time, now it is a super tall plant that is beautiful. We have LOVED watching it grow a little bit each day and now it is about to bloom. Really cool.

Brigham is a GREAT part of our family. He was ordained to the office of a Deacon today in Church and received the Aaronic Priesthood. https://www.lds.org/?lang=eng  He is so excited to be in with his brother and be able to pass the Sacrament.  He recited the 11th Article of Faith today: 11 We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may.

He also sang with me and some of his sisters in Sacrament meeting today. We sang Teach me about the Temple and Lucy sang her first solo, the first vs. Brigham and I sung the second verse and Mary and Sarah joined in on both chorus's. It was a good experience for us. We are so thankful to have Brigham in our Family. WE LOVE YOU BRIGHAM!  Gma and Gpa got him his new suit, he looks so handsome! 

Spencer was one of ten in his whole school to score 90 or above on the reading STARR pretest. Way to go Spencer!
