Week ending 3-28-21

 A pretty easy-going week. Alexis was in Rexburg the first half of the week and then in Springville for 2 days so I really missed her. The rest of us plucked along with finishing up school before our 2 week spring break, babysat a lot, and cleaned the house.

Sunday: We woke up to a dusting of snow.
Tilly was so adorable at church I had to take a picture to send to her twin, my sister Lori.

Then Tilly wanted to take a picture of me.
The 5 little kids walked home again and it brings me so much joy watching them skip along.
Sweet sisters.

Andy running along the van.
Samuel
Talea and Kaitlyn
I love their matching dresses.






Goofing off in the kicthen. Someone's got my phone.

She's getting long, beautiful curls.
Three year-olds are adorable; it's one of my favorite ages.
Filling up the Easter candy jar.
Monday: Kaitlyn tripped on the deck stairs and was excited to show her bruise to Aunt Lori.


Signing the contract to purchase a house in Virginia!! It's a little house on 36 acres of woods and meadows. It has blueberries, blackberries, grapes, all kinds of fruit and nut trees, 2 springs and creeks. If all goes through I will finally get the little farm I've always dreamed of!
Tuesday: Last time watching the street cleaner. I'm pretty sure we won't see them on our new farm.
Reading party with a boy I'm tutoring.
Alexis spent a week at Madalyn's in Rexburg and they made dutch donuts as we had studied the Netherlands the week she left.
Wednesday: Spencer hanging out with his track friends.
The 5 little kids sitting on the wall watching the meet.

When we got too cold we went inside the building. Talea grabbed a snack and then spritely said, "We tan do a wall sit while we eat our nack!"
Then we went out for Spencer's last race. He came around the track running far ahead of the other competitors.

And easily finished first.
That's all the pictures I took this week. Nothing too exciting.

Week ending 3-21-21

This was a busy week with a lot of activities, car repairs, school, and spring cleaning. In addition we enjoyed the warm sunshine and danced in the cold rain.

Monday: Goofing off after FHE with airplane rides and such.
Tuesday: Kaitlyn making a dragon costume of her own design.
Wednesday: St. Patrick's Day! Kaitlyn's lunch of applesauce, homemade wheat biscuit and chicken strip with some green sprinkles on it.
Watching Spencer's first track meet.
Spencer won all of his events but ran slightly slower than last year so he's hoping to improve.
Spencer coming around in first place.
Andy is starting to be able to read books by himself.
Kaitlyn and Anderson trying on the old hat Spencer crocheted when he was really little to keep his nose warm. We went through all our winter gear and found it (but then threw it out--it hasn't been worn in years.)

Thursday: Kaitlyn shows off her costume as she plays in it. She found the shirt, skirt, and pants in a bag of clothes someone gave us and made the rest.
This is her long tail.
And her shoes.
And her headpiece. She designed and hand sewed it all!
Friday: Tilly and Ruth dancing to Kaitlyn's piano music.
Thomas's middle school is starting new construction on this soccer field.
The old one will be torn down when the new one is finished.
Friend Daniel and Talea were so cute sitting by each other at the park.
