Happy 10th Birthday Marjorie!!

 

For her birthday she wanted to go shopping, so we had her party on Friday night. Then on her real birthday Saturday she opened 2 gifts and then I took her to Walmart/Claires. She got these nails with some of her money. Mary put them on today. I hate that these come in the wrong order.



Ice Cream! She had donuts for her party. She doesn't love cake.


These paintings Lucy did with acrylics for her room. They are so cute!





Marjorie LOVES pigs. She is hilarious.


I took the 4 littles swimming the night of her birthday.













Front row: Maddie, Mallory, Aspen, Marjorie, Maggie, Londyn. Back row: Kayden, Emma, Elle, Carly, Ivee, Khloe. Fun girls. We had pizza, painted, sort of watched Charlotte's web, had donuts, popcorn, played games. 
Marjorie's painting, the color is weird in this picture.






Happy Birthday Marjorie! We love you and are so thankful you are part of our family. She is a joy and fun to be around. She is a good sister and friend. 

Happy 20th Birthday to Brigham!!!






Lucy did these for me for this year. The Patient, persistent, and prayerful are from President Nelson for this year. My word for the year is Nourish. I want to be more mindful about nourishing others and I also want to make every moment I can be nourishing for my soul and those around me. We don't have time for empty.


Brigham at his zone conference. He is 5th from the left on back row. He is doing so well. He had a wonderful birthday week. He got a piece of carpet in his new house, a little square that he loves. He has also eaten at KFC and Dickies recently which he loves. He loves his greenie and they are teaching several awesome people and families.
Paisley's kind Grandpa gave Mary a flute that he fixed. We are so grateful, it sounds awesome.



We were also able to set up a little nail salon in our laundry room for her to do nails. She made a youtube channel. She is also applying for jobs.


I got a new cabinet for all my paint night supplies that were overtaking the kitchen. It is way better.


I got this adorable tree at Costco for an early birthday present. Thankfully Joe told me to just get it because it was gone the next week. 




Last week, me and the littles went up to Ogden to visit my parents and Shan and I got to go on a hike. It was a great day and we all enjoyed it.





While we were there they gave Marjorie her birthday present. Thanks Mom and Dad!




Happy Birthday to Brigham! Last birthday in the mission field. We are so grateful he is serving and doing so well. We are so thankful for his growth and example. We love you Brigham!


Last Sunday Marjorie was using a rolling swivel stool to get down (even on carpet) and the stool flipped and she landed on the metal edge hard. Her leg bruised so BAD!



 Lucy did this with oil pastels and watercolor as a demo for my art students. She did awesome paintings yesterday that I will post next.

Pine Forrest with Littles

 












Sat, Jan 7th was beautiful. The kids played outside all day. We had a great time hiking Pine Forrest. 


Last week Spencer, Sawyer and Monte went to California. They went to some BYU basketball games, Magic Mountain, and to see the Temple. They had a great time!
