Happy 13th Birthday Brigham and 3rd Birthday Marjorie!!!

 Crazy girl into everything followed by sidekick Heber.

 Happy 13th Birthday Brigham! We love you!

 I posted this because even Heber wanted in on the action.

 His special sweater he got for Christmas is a little too big so Spencer has been wearing it. We got this to hold him over til he can wear the other one in a year or so.

 He had a few friends over to spend the day since they were off school for MLK day. Riley, Eliel, and Ben.

 Gma Great made that a hat several years ago.

 New Frozen underwear.

 Frozen chocolate.

 Barbie Mermaid

 Frozen snackie cup.

 And Anna.

 Didn't want to blow out the candles or get her picture taken. Too much excitement for a couple of days. We did part of it on the day before because her actual birthday was crazy.

 From her fun time with Simone before she got sick.

 Mary's hair one day this week.

 Handsome new combination of clothes.

 Joe sent me this picture when I was with the boys at a Stake Fireside, chilling watching Bubble Guppies.

 Taffy and Heber are pretty entertaining at scripture time.

 Preschool was at our house this week on Marjorie's birthday. It made it fun for her.

 New wreath I made with felt.

Scripture time, I had just walked upstairs and it made my heart happy to see this.

We have an exciting week ahead of us still and lots going on but we are so blessed. So thankful for each other. Brigham was put in as Deacon's Quorum President today and Spencer as 2nd Counselor in Teacher's Quorum. The kids are doing well in school and my art classes are full. I added 2 new home school ones during the day this past week. So I have 4 right now and a wait list.

Happy New Year 2016

 Joe and I went to the zoo with the youngest 3 on Friday. It was fun, a little chilly but not bad.

 Walking down the path and this piece of house is stuck out there from the tornado!

 Sarah lost her first tooth!

 We did Lucy's science project over the break. It was pretty fun.

 This reminded me of playing in my Grandpa's tack room, wish i could afford it.

 Playing in the store.

 Joe and I got to chaperone Spencer and his friends at the New Years Eve dance. It was several Stakes, it was decorated so cute and was a lot of fun for the youth!  Made me so thankful I am married!!! :)

 Some of the balloons had money in them. Spencer got a dollar.

 Sarah being a tree on one of our walks.

 ?, Angela LaMarche, Ericka Gundersen, Lindsey LaMarche, Ellingsworth, Scott Roper, Spencer, ?

 Heber has been sick with a cold of some sort for 6+ weeks, so glad he is finally snot free! He is on Augmentin for a second ear infection.

 The award ceremony for Reflections for our school District was the other night.  Mary entered 2 pieces and both won an award. An Honorable Mention and an award of Merit.  WHOOP! Whoop!

 Lucy Girl got 1st Place and her Swan painting is going to State!!! WAHOO! So proud of both of them for their hard work!  My other art students did really well too.

 Lucy got to go to Austin on Friday to the State Capitol. It is an all day thing from 6am to 8:30 pm. They ride a big charter bus (3 of them) and have 2 meals on it. She had a good time and didn't get sick! Yay!!!

 Blurry pic of Heber's hair cut and cute outfit.

 More zoo pictures from my phone.

The girls playing yesterday, reminded me of me and my sisters. Funny girls.

Busy start to the New Year. Joe and the boys went to Winter camp the first week, don't have any pictures from that but they had a great time. Joe did get a funny video of Brigham shooting one of the guns for the first time.
