March 1 - Hallie came, she loved watching TV with grandpa, she told me to come and take a picture, but then she told me to leave because only her and Grandpa could watch the show. My grand nephew Paul came to play for awhile. Hallie entertained him well. Hallie told me to take a picture of the star she made with her fingers.
March 3 - Ryder got to come and play too, he didn't have school, but his mom and dad had to work. Hallie thought it was great to have a friend to play with and Ryder was very good at entertaining Hallie.
March 5 - We celebrated Brian (he turned 38 on March 1st) We had his favorite cupcakes and sang to him.
Then, we went bowling, these are all the adults that bowled.
Here are the boys bowling, we couldn't use the ball ramp, so they had to bowl the old fashioned way.
Here are the girls bowling. Molly was so funny, she would run back as soon as her ball was rolling, she didn't wait to see how many pins she got.
Here are the scores. The adults got two games in.March 7 - We were able to get the storage room all unpacked and put away. We put all the food storage and suitcases in the cold storage room. It's all so nice and organized!March 10 - We ran into a problem in the wall. When we decided to hang a tv on the wall in to office, Jared insisted on putting an outlet up in the wall so we wouldn't have cords hanging down. When he reached into the hole he made, the insulation was wet, there was even ice. We took the tv down and Josh, the foreman when we were building the house came and cut some holes to see where the wetness was coming from. It was was only in between those studs. He pulled all the insulation out and dried the sheetrock with this fan. It was not happy news, but we felt very blessed to find the problem before it because a bigger problem.March 11 - Blake and Brian went over to an Archery Range by Rupert. There was plenty of snow, but they had a good time. They even saw some really deer. We definitely have an ice problem on our front porch. The wall on the other side of the right pillar is where we had the wet insulation. They have hopefully fixed the problem on the roof that caused the leak.
While Brian and Blake were at the Archery Range, I was able to get an appointment for an endowment in the Pocatello Temple. I love the peace I find there.
March 12 - Ryder and Molly playing basketball. It's so fun to watch them, and so entertaining!
Hallie was our halftime entertainment, or maybe I should say she was our entire game entertainment! She is so funny!
It's time to March forward with the clocks and move into Daylight Savings time. This is how Blake had to change the clock up above the TV.
March 14 - We have rain gutters! Now maybe we won't have as much ice problems on the porch!
March 15 - Another beautiful sunrise! I love starting the day seeing this beauty happen right before my eyes. Michelle and Paul went to the library with Hallie and I. Hallie loved singing and dancing.
March 16 - Michelle came to put together my sewing table! It was a huge job! There were a bazillion pieces! She just kept at it and followed the instructions and got it done. It turned out so nice! I love it!
While Michelle worked and when she didn't need me to hold things, I was thoroughly entertained by this little Paul guy. He loved playing with the trucks and cars.
March 17 - Is this called a "moonset"? This was about 7:15am. I took this picture from our front porch. I loved how it was reflecting in the ice puddle.
March 19 - Molly and Ryder had a big cheering section for their game. They were short on players and had to play almost all the game. We tried to convince Clark to go play with them, but he was too shy. Annie would have loved to play, but thought she was too tall. Randy and Jared had to be the coaches, because their real coach was out of town. Randy got the be the Coach/Ref.
After the game, we went down to Pocatello to Camping World's grand opening. This picture of Annie wearing her balloon crown is the only picture I took. When we got home, the boys and Blake put together our new grill. It was a big job!
March 22 - Look at these cute babies. This is all the grandkids at 1 Year old. Top L-R, Maden, Annie and Molly. Bottom L-R, Ryder, Clark and Hallie. I think this is the cutest thing ever.
Now, look how grown up they are!
I think my little project turned out well. This is hanging on our bedroom wall. I love it!
March 24 - I have decided that my house will never be decorated. I just keep changing things around a little. I kind of redid the bookshelves and this side table. I still love it!
March 26 - Another beautiful sunrise! What a magnificent start to the day!
Blake, Brian, Randy and Jared went to an archery shoot here in Blackfoot. It was a good first shoot of the year!
After the shoot, it was shed clean out and rearrange time. It took about 3 tries before they got everything in the shed the way they wanted to. While the guys were working, Molly, Ryder and Hallie had fun on Brian's little 4-wheeler and playing basketball. When Ryder made a basket, the ball got stuck in the net, because it has shrunk, so Courtney and a stick to the rescue. It certainly surprised the kids when the ball didn't drop.
My brother, Randy and his wife Julie came to see our new house. He finally succeeded in getting Hallie to sit on his lap, it only took about an hour of trying.
March 28 - We got some window well extensions, and some dirt brought in and graded from the window wells. They finally came and started putting the wall back together.
March 29 - Hallie was a big helper all day. She helped Grandpa fix a tape measure, and pick up the 4-wheeler from the fix-it shop and put it in the trailer and tie it down. She had a bandaid on her knee and would not let her pants be pulled down over it.
March 31 - This Molly girl turned 7! She's such a happy, thoughtful, lively talkative, creative, full of life type of girl! We love you Molly!
She woke up to a huge sign in her yard, and have treats brought to school, and we got to sing to her on these cute little cupcakes. She said it was a good day!
