March Forward

Now that I can get blogger to cooperate again, I can get caught up...... since it's already the end of March!

February went out with a bang..... or should I say, BOOM! Tianna made a volcano at preschool for the letter "V."
One Sunday we had my Great Aunt Kathryn and Great Uncle Ken over for dinner. It's fun having relatives live nearby (Spanish Fork now, but they were long time residences of Payson.)
Like most of our visitors, the girls mauled them.  At least Uncle Ken could entertain them by playing the ukulele and taking his dentures out and Kathryn makes a wonderful grandma figure! I love those two people! 

On Dr. Seuss' bday we spent the morning watching video clips of his famous stories, reading books, and then ate Green eggs and ham (um.. actually bacon since I was out of ham) for lunch.  

This year for the Relief Society birthday party, I was asked to put on a little play about visiting teaching.  It was set in Mother Goose land and turned out really really cute! I even got to keep the amazing back drops a sister made for us.  
 Old Mother Hubbard, her dog, Rover, and Mother Goose      
 The Lady who lives in the Shoe (after her shower and cleaning up.. i wish I had a picture of before when she was in a moo-moo and frazzled hair!)  
 Peter Peter's wife...... being visited by the Queen of Hearts and Little Miss Muffet
Sister Pig who has an addiction to soap operas! lol.   

March 15th, Tianna had a follow up at Primary Childrens.  The first time we've walked out of a visit without heading in for blood tests, x-rays, physical therapy, or an MRI! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHOOO! she's looking great but since the arthritis in her jaw can only be checked by MRI she's good till July when we do that again.  If it's progressed more we have to change her medication. Until then, we were GOOD TO GO! :) 
We then headed off to see Temple Square! 
 This is our sweet tour guide at the Conference center
 Up on the roof at the Conf center, we saw President Hinckley's son.  He looked just like Pres Hinckley but without glasses.
Adelia ran up to him and yelled, "I touched Jesus' toe!" She was so proud :) 

On St. Patrick's day we made a spontaneous trip to Price.  We got their just in time to see the parade and then we got to hang out with these cute green girlies......... and we made rainbow cupcakes which are pretty much, DIVINE !   While we were there we were also able to have a birthday dinner with Luke's mom who turned the big 50! :D 

The next day we went to Lehi to attend the baby blessing of our friend's, Janelle and Ed's, little girl, Ellie .  She is so sweet!  Just today we had a WONDERFUL visit when Janelle and Ellie who came down our house.  

This month has also brought some long awaited nice weather! We have worked in the yard, played hard outside until we were all sunburned, and made planter boxes for our future garden.  
The girls' even put their creative juices together and made "Wall-E and Eva."

Frustration!!!

A month ago I tried to blog but my pictures would not upload onto blogger no matter how hard I tried. Eventually I gave up for the day.  Since then, I've tried multiple times and multiple things, but to no avail.  So... here, have a post with NO pictures.  One day I'll get it to work!!

On President's weekend we had a trip to Castle Dale to visit family.  Luke's sister, Laura, who lives in Nebraska, so we don't get to see very often, was down.  It was so great to see her! Sadly, the camera didn't make an appearance : (
On Saturday we did a fun "Pea-chick Run" with Belinda, Courtney, Laura and I.  It was a great 4.5 miler...

The rest of the time we mostly just hung out together making hair flowers and watching movies etc.  (hence, the lack of pictures)

Luke had to work on Monday-Pres. Day- but on our way home we decided to stop off at the cabin for the night.  I spent Monday there, playing in the snow with borrowed clothing, and then Luke came back to get me after work.  He's so good to me!

My sister did my makeup and Adelia wanted in on the action so I put on blush, mascara, lipstick, eye shadow etc. .  It was funny to see her all dolled up.........until she played in the snow and had mascara running down her 2 year old cheeks! :D





Then we spent hours sledding with the cousins.  It was really fun and a great day to be in the snow.
