March is Here!

We talked to Thomas today about not taking piano lessons anymore.  His new goal - in order to not have to take piano anymore, is to learn 15 Hymns. We chose the songs together today, and he started playing right away.  I hope he just can figure this out and it will all be over by the end of the summer! ;) It has been rough teaching this teenage boy. 

Our new porch decor! 

I got to be a driver for YW this week!  I went with Bella and Sophie's age group to the Springville Rec. It was so fun to be with the girls again, and get to chat with the couple other leaders there!  Such a fun group of ladies!

Finally yesterday! It was warm enough to sit outside and work on stuff.  I was planning for our Spring Break trip and soaking up rays!  It was lovely!  It feels good to be coming out of the dark winter days.  It's been an extra rough one, and I'm glad to see warmer weather!  Also - note my sad plasma taped up arm. It was a rough day for donating. They couldn't get either arm to work today - something that has never happened to me. So after rooting around in one arm, they tried the other and couldn't get it to go either. Ouch!  


Later Friday night, Josh and I went on a date with his parents to Sizzler and to a wedding reception for one of his cousins. It was so nice to be out and see family!  This week really was on the up and up!  Between YW, Lunch with Friends on Thursday, and Friday nice weather and a date, I'm doing good!  It makes such a difference in my mental state of mind!  

Beckham’s Birthday

We went up to Draper to celebrate cute Beckham's birthday!  He was born literally just before the world shut down! It seems crazy that he is already 1!  What a cute little guy! We loved being with family and hanging out.

We had a family gathering March 3, 2020 where we took a picture of all the grandkids.  Here we are a year later!  It's crazy how much has happened and how much they have grown!  In a few weeks we will add another grandkid!  

School and other February Fun!

Bella and Sophie participated in a city volleyball session this Winter.  They each had friends on their teams, and I loved sitting there talking with friends too!  

I took T and a couple friends out to ice fish on Utah Lake in the rain one day.  These boys are obsessed! 

I love seeing pics from Jace and Sophie's class on IG.







This is one of my favorite things that has happened this year! Jace and Sophie's class had a Class Store, where the kids can bring things to "sell" to their classmates.  They earn their class dollars each day by doing their class job, turning in work on time and doing other things in class.  Jace and Soph teamed up for their store.  Jace made things out of wood and cardboard, as well as a few other creations. Sophie made and sold some melty bead creations.  They also took a bunch of sunglasses to sell. They were the hit of the class! They made the most money and came home SO thrilled!  Best day ever.  

Watching some basketball before bed one Saturday night. 

Our Yukon hit 100,000 miles!  







Bowling fun with Kaley and friends- hacked from Emma's IG.

Valentine's Day boxes!  I love that these two are so crafty and creative!  They made these all on their own! 

Oh - this is the test that proves that I actually did have corona at Thanksgiving. We didn't go get tested, but in order to join the c0vid program for plasma, you have to have an antibodies test and be able to show results.  SO here's mine!  Woot!  That means $100 every time I donate! 

There's Jace's box!



Our neighbor brought over some eggs from their chickens!  We put them to good use that night with dinner!  

Volleyball besties!

Sorting through the V-day loot!

Tim the Teddy fits right in this family! This was Jace the other night for family movie night. 

Basketball season team pics!  

Thomas' team - didn't win one game, but had fun playing with friends. 





Headstand contest with Izzy!  Jace has some tough competition!
