Drive up window

Our cat, Zack, has his own personal drive up window. It is so funny! There is a tall table on the deck by the window. He jumps up there and just sits and watches us. We keep some kitty treats by the window to feed him. He'll watch me do the dishes, lick his chops when I am cooking dinner, and watch the kids play. It's kind of like we have a peeping Tom...Cat!

Blessing day


Our little baby boy was blessed on March 29th. He looked so cute. A couple of the Elders that were in the circle with Mike came up to us after church and told us that Asher was just looking up like he was looking at an angel. I have a feeling that there were a few angels there that day.

After the service, everyone came over to our house for lunch. We have such a great family, they are always there to support us. It means the world to us. I was worried that no one would be able to come because when we woke that morning there was a huge wind storm. But everyone was there showing how much they love that little boy!


Thank you to all of our family that came. (Ben&LuRae, I consider you family too) We love you all!

Wax Museum

On Friday the 5th grade had their American Hero Wax Museum. Each 5th grader had to choose an American Hero to learn about. Austin chose John Hancock. They all had to write a short speech to tell why their person is famous. We went to the school to see him, he did a really good job. It took a lot of bribing to get these pictures though!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

St. Patrick's day was such a busy day and I didn't have time to post, but really wanted to. In our family we have always loved St. Patrick's Day because it is my grandfathers (Papa) birthday. He was the absolute best grandfather anyone could ever have. My whole life I have always thought we were part Irish. I just found out last year that we really aren't, we just thought because Papa was born on St. Patrick's Day we must be. I miss him so much and I am so grateful for this day!
The kids had a fun day in school. Leprechauns have been sneaking into McCall's classroom at night and playing tricks for a couple of weeks. On St. Patrick's Day they left the class chocolate and stickers. She made a paper leprechaun that day and brought it home. She danced and danced with it. It was pretty funny!

The baby powder incident (dun dun dun!!!)

Never a dull moment at our house. Actually McCall must think there are lots of dull moments because she gets bored easily. She is very creative in finding things to do. On this particular day she wanted to do magic. She found the baby powder. (dun dun dun!!!) Later she told me this is what she did and why. She held the powder in her hand and threw it to make "smoke." Ahhhh!! When we have moments like this, I have to take a picture, because I know later it will be funny.


Pinkalicious

McCall had to learn a story to tell in front of her class last week. She chose "Pinkalicious." She did such a good job (at least at home, who knows what she did in class) we decided to dress her for the part. She looked SO cute!
