I'm 39!

 Working on a project with Mary. Sewing a pillow, using a piece of a cute shirt as center.




 The kids made my cake with a little of my help and the girls decorated it. It was very interesting! Joe made me a yummy dinner and we had a great Sabbath day. I had a little nap and didn't bother to look in the mirror before doing the cake and picture below. (Could of wiped under my eyes, oh well!)


 Pretending to blow out my candles.

 Joe was finally the Watchdog again on Monday. The girls were beyond excited!

 They all love the gross dog crate!



 Wanted to document the finished piece from Mary's baptism even though it is not a good picture.

 One of Spencer's projects for his Humanities class, he worked really hard on it.

 Mary's picture on display at the Wylie Art Museum.

 My friends spoiled me with yummy treats on my birthday!!  Thank you Rigby's and Braithwaites!


Going for a walk. This winter has been so mild, I hope it is not a horrible summer!

Baseball and Softball are starting and Spring is on its way, still wondering if we may get an ice storm or something. I am very grateful for the amazing 39 years of life I have enjoyed and hope for that many more plus some!

 New Ogden Temple, unless I change it.

St. Paul, Minnesota Temple

Happy Birthday Lucy!!!

 Lucy's 10!  Her birthday was on Wednesday but her party with friends was on Friday. My last class party for Mary's class was Friday. I am so glad the birthday marathon is over!!! I love my kids but these 4 in a row KILL me sometimes!

 She took cupcakes to Activity Days on her actual birthday.

 Heber enjoyed his mashed potatoes.

 Joe got her those beautiful flowers. They are still gorgeous!

 She picked out some new shoes, sheets for her bed, and a little live turtle toy.



 She has a great group of friends and lots came to her party.

 Doing her own candles on her cookie cake.


Cups from Mary's class party provided entertainment all day yesterday.

 Flowers Joe gave me for Valentine's day!

 The Olivers brought Mary this cute baptism gift with 8 bags in it with 8 scriptures about baptism.

 Creative crazy girls.


 Another party shot.

 Spencer having fun at another Stake Dance last night.  He met a couple new girls and had a great time!

Our first fire, we've only lived here 8 years. And we won't be having another any time soon. 70's all week. Crazy!

Lucy is a great part of our family. She is very talented and a hard worker. She is organized and dependable. We love you Lucy and are grateful for you!

Hot Chocolate 15k with Spencer!


Pre-race, felt pretty decent outside, a little cold but not bad. We put Spencer's bib on his back because he wasn't sure he was going to keep the jacket on. Little did we know it was going to turn off freezing and we could of put it on the front. Oh well!  We met Amber and Cameron and Amber's Aunt Nan there. We didn't stay with any of them in the race but it was fun doing it with them.







 We finished in 2 hours and 9 min. We ran the first couple of miles, but Spencer did not feel well so we speed walked the rest and ran across the finish line. I am surprised we could walk it that fast. Should have worn my walking socks! Oh well, it was fun to do with him and spend that time with him. He was a trooper!



 It was so cold at this point we could not feel our hands at all. I barely got the car open. By the time we got home it was 50 degrees!




Thanks Spencer!!
