March 2026

March 1 - Brian is 42! 

Trying to play ping pong on a regular table.  With some practice, it might be fun.

Everyone had to give it a try. I'm so glad someone still likes to play with the tractors.

March 3 - Penny helped me reorganize the toys downstairs, then we brought some different toys upstairs.  Cole came to investigate the different toys.

March 4 - Beautiful morning moon that seems as bright as the sun.

March 5 - Getting some snow!

Snowing harder!

Penny's loving these stacking buckets.  Randy taught her how to make it really tall. Then, she got tuckered out!

March 7 - We got to watch Ryder and Michael play some basketball!

It was so nice of Jared to come and set this clock for daylight savings time.

March 8 - This was the last Sunday that all these kids were in the same ward. Cole and Scottlynn are playing like they are friends.  Beautiful sunset!

March 9 - This cat scared me to death when it hopped up on the window sill!

March 11 - Maden came for a bingo night at Parkwood.  He won twice, Dad won once and Mom and I were the losers.

March 13 - We had some really strong winds! Ryder, Molly and Hallie brought in some of the shingles that blew off.

Cole thought it was really fun to get in and out of this basket.

March 14 - Cole is getting some exercise while we are waiting for Ryder's basketball game to start. Then he's having some treats during the game.

Ryder and Michael's first game of the day.  They won!

The 2nd game of the day was very exciting, they ended up losing by 3 points in overtime!

More shingles have blown off!

March 23 - I got to spend the day with Cole. He loves this picture of Grandpa Mark and Bruno. He loves making things play music, and he loves books.

March 27 - Molly and I got to spend most of the day together, celebrating that she will turn 11 on the 31st! She chose to eat at Olive Garden.  It was the fastest service ever! Then, we went shopping at Walmart. She chose some crochet kits. Then, we went and played bingo with Grandpa Paul and Grandma Beth.  It was a fun day! I love you, Molly!

Branson, Avery and Carter came to stay with us for a night so they could go see Grandpa Paul and Grandma Beth.  It's always fun for them to come visit.  Branson and Avery are moving to Greenville, SC soon so this was their last visit for a while.

March 29 - We are getting ready for the Treasure Hunt!

Everyone is looking for their treasures.

Looks like they found some things. Scottlynn likes her finger puppets.

I wanted a current pictures of these 10 grandkids, but the timing was not good for Cole, he was not happy we came in the house!

We celebrated Molly with a really special cake! Can't believe we've had her for 11 years!

March 31 - Penny was thrilled to wear her shirt from the treasure hunt. By the end of the day, I was a little tired of hearing that it said "Silly goose on the loose". She took her little doll outside for a stroller ride.

February 9 - My Mom's 87th birthday! We did a fun thing, and I'm sad I didn't get any pictures. We did a reverse birthday present to some of the workers and residents of Parkwood.  Mom had a fun time delivering them and watching the people be so surprised.

My beautiful Valentine's Lilly.
