2/22/22 and my birthday

 

This is a snowman Heber and Frances built yesterday when Joe and I were headed to Tucanos for my birthday lunch. See the beautiful arms? They are our Jonah Gold Apple Tree. Maybe it was dying? When Joe went over to look at it he was able to pull it right out of the ground without pulling much. 

Last night Mary, Joe and I went to the High School play "Legally Blonde". 

Heber drew his pokemon. :)

Michal and I got a 5 miler in, it was really beautiful and felt better than the rest of the day.

Joe's family in 1976, I was looking for pictures of Joe at age 2 so I asked Uncle Gordon. He found this gem. Tammie, Connon, Jerry, Millie, Robert, Sherrie in front of Robert and James and Joe below.

Today is 2/22/22 so I made a collage of all of us at age 2. 

I had a great birthday, lots of calls, texts, posts. The kids cleaned and wrote me cute notes. I am grateful to be alive and to be so blessed and happy!

Happy Valentine's Day!

 

I got to go to an Encaustic workshop with Beki Tobiasson last night. It was so fun working with wax, colors, and a blow torch!!!

A note I found in Heber's back pack.

Part of an email from Brigham's mission president to him about the huge amount of youth coming to play soccer with Brigham and his companions.

These two enjoying some more snow. (Frances and Heber).

He lost one of his top middle teeth. 

Valentine's day was busy! I painted hearts on everyone's faces in Heber's class. Then we ran to Marjorie's and did q tip heart painting.

Frances loved participating in the other games with Marjorie.

We celebrated Marjorie and Mary with mine and Lucy's birthday's (and Mitch's too but he left for the Superbowl before we got his picture) on Sunday too.

Beautiful flowers Joe gave me, my Dad gave me a beautiful pink rose too but I don't think I took a picture.

Marjorie's fun box. The other's thankfully made theirs at school. :)

Happy 16th Birthday Lucy!!!

 I took her Chik Fil A for lunch. Joe took her right after school to get her Driver's license pictured below. We are excited to have another driver and Joe got the Honda running just in time!

She had a good day and school and home and then her party was the next night I think. ;)

Brooklyn, Ashlyn, Adi, Mary, Olivia, littles on the stairs, Abbey, Emmalyse, Patricia

I didn't make her a fancy cake, she wanted strawberry shortcake and we were all frosting'd out!!!

We fed them pulled pork sandwiches, corn, slaw, strawberry shortcake and popcorn bar. We had leftovers for a week, it was awesome!

On Sunday we finally got to go to Mom and Dad's again. We are so grateful for Lucy. She is so fun to watch play softball, she is amazing at art/writing/decorating. She is brillant in school, she is responsible and beautiful. We love you Lucy!

Gymnastics and Basketball, Science Fair and good grades

The girls loved their 6 weeks of gymnastics, they both did great. 

I did activity days for Heber's group at church filling in for their leader.

These 3 went to district for Science Fair and got an Honorable mention, so now they go to regionals at BYU in March. Way to go Sarah!

Lucy and Mary (and Sarah) are straight A gals. So thankful and blessed!!

Heber enjoyed his 4 weeks of basketball and scored in his last game! But we will be taking a break from everything while Lucy has school softball.

Mary painted these little canvases for her friends.
