April 2023

 

April 1 -  Finally, a tennis court with the nets up and no snow!  Blake and Maden had a good time playing some tennis.

April 4 - Surprise! Not really! We woke up to snow!
Here's my mom, in her room at Promontory Point.  

May 6 - Doing crafts at Promontory Point.  Tricia, Mom and I, with the help of Brittany and Dad.

May 7 -  Blake is a good Penny tender!

April 8 - A huge day for Molly! She was baptized and confirmed! Grandpa Paul (or Chin Chopper) and Michelle and her family got to come! Somehow I didn't get a picture of Dallin and his family. 

Molly is beautiful in her pretty white dress.  Aunt Lynne and Uncle Rob came to the baptism too. Also Blake and I and Brian and Aubrey.  Hallie ran from me to go sit on Brian's lap during the program.

We had a nice brunch at the Groveland Church after the baptism.

I went to promontory point, we got a picture with 4 of us 5 girls. L to R top picture, Shauna, Tricia, Diana, Lynne.  It's so fun to visit Mom and see my sisters, too.

Blake, Brian, Molly, and Hallie had fun playing on the new EScooters and the 4wheeler.

Later, Blake and I, Brian and Aubrey and Jared's family went to dinner at Olive Garden.

April 10 - Tricia organized some painting lessons for Mom and I.

April 11 - A beautiful sunset!

April 12 - This little Penny girl wants to be on the move. First, she tries to sit up, then wants to roll over, so I moved her from the bed to the floor. Yep, immediately rolls over!

Lunch at McDonalds with Hallie and Penny. 

Another beautiful sunset!

April 13 - Snow again!

April 14 - Yes, snow again!

This was a tender moment, my dad helped my mom to stand. Truly a milestone!

Maden has been taking tennis lessons, so he decided to play in a tournament.  It was fun to watch him play.  

April 15 - We had a post Easter treasure hunt.  The kids had fun "finding" their treasures.  Brian had fun holding Penny girl.

After the treasure hunt, the kids blew bubbles and played with sidewalk chalk, then some of them went to play tennis.

April 16 - Annie, Declan, Brian, Clark, Molly and Hallie had a great time taking the little four wheeler for a spin around the yard.

April 17 - I met Blake and Brian's family for lunch at Idaho Falls Community Hospital, then Blake met Brian and Aubrey and Nikelle and girls at McDonalds later.

April 21 - Oh, this Penny girl! She fell asleep in the little high chair, but she loved playing with the friends on the mat on the floor.  Hallie reminded me that I didn't take a picture of her, so I took two.

April 22 - Blake and Jared trimmed up a bunch of trees in Jared's yard.

Derek and Kenzley came to visit Grandma Beth and decided it was fun to give her some rides.

April 23 - Brian and Aubrey at their new home! 

April 25 - Funny Penny, trying to sit up, and so wiggly on her mat, she got her foot caught, and kept rolling over and getting stuck on the posts.  She's now 4 months old!

April 16 - A beautiful sunrise!

April 27 - Started the day out with a gorgeous sunrise, and finished the day with an equally gorgeous sunset.

More antics from Penny....she really got her foot stuck and rolled and rolled.  She did well in the little high chair, Hallie loves to move the bar stools around and thought she was very funny to so far away.

April 29 - Blake and Jared, and Brian and Maden played in a pickle ball tournament in the Shelley High School.  It was a fun little tournament.

Hallie thinks she's really clever to climb this tree.

April 30 - We actually had all of our grandkids together for a picture! Back row L to R, Clark (7), Annie (10), Maden (13), front row L to R, Ryder (7), Declan (5) Molly (8) holding Brody Bear, Hallie (4) holding Penny (4 months).

We grilled hamburgers for the first time!

Then there was basketball, Pickleball, scooter riding, swinging, and drawing with chalk.
