March 1 - We got to watch Ryder play some basketball!

Just look at this cute Cole!

Blake cut down all the dead flowers.

Penny and Scottlynn are playing so cute.  

It was nice enough to go out and jump on the tramp!

Brian turned 41!

March 2 - Celebrating Brian again!

The kids are enjoying the warm weather.

The young ones are chilling in the house.

March 3 - And, the nice weather is gone, now it's snowing.

March 4 - Cole is getting so big!

March 6 - I don't really like these pictures!

Penny is making sure Cole knows how to play with everything.

March 7 - Blake went to Boise with Brian and Aubrey to the state basketball tournament.

March 8 - Visiting Scheel's in Boise.

More basketball for Ryder.

It's hard work to change the big clock in the living room.

Penny sleeping in Grandpa's bed while she waits for her dad to pick her up.

March 9 - these two cats spent the night in our garage.

Beautiful start to the day!

Another kitty visited.

Trying to get Scottlynn to take some steps.

Outside! Scottllynn and Penny loved riding on the trike.

March 12 - Such a bright moon in the morning.

March 13 - Can you find Penny? Another kitty friend came to visit.

March 14 - More snow!

March 18 - Yes, we got more snow!

Penny loved coloring in this book with a water pen.

March 19 - After 46 years, the old freezer gave up the ghost, so we bought a new one.  

March 20 - Penny's coloring again, and putting the rings on her arm. Cole is playing with the friends.  Molly and I are playing Old Maid.

March 22 - I love snuggles from Scottlynn.

March 23 - Grandpa's a great babysitter, he got Scottlynn to sleep!

March 24 - Oh boy, is this ok? Blake is trying out the hands free in our new Lincoln. It worked great, made me a little nervous, though.

March 25 - Jazz game! We saw Mikala and Doug again! The Jazz lost to the Grizzlies, but it was fun.

March 26 - We went to the Draper Temple, It was a gorgeous day and we even found some flowers!

We went to Temple Square and the Conference Center.  All the construction is really interesting.  It will be nice to see how it all turns out when it's finished. We loved the flowers. 

March 27 - We went to the new Deseret Peaks Temple in Tooele.  It was really nice. We found some more flowers.  We also met up with Mark and Natillie for lunch, but I forgot to take any pictures.  

We went to another Jazz game. This time they were playing Houston, and lost again. But, we had fun.  We got pretty good at riding the Trax around town.

March 28 - I got to go to lunch at Tommy Vaughn's with Molly.  She will turn 10 on the 31st! She chose this cute fox squish mellow. We had a fun time and laughed a lot.  

Jared, Randy and Blake cut some trees and limbs down at Jared's house. 

March 30 - Penny thinks she's cool to be sitting on the big tools with the big kids.  Scottlynn loves to be given a whole roll.

Molly wanted to have a neapolitan ice cream sandwich cake.  I can't believe she's almost 10!

Happy and Penny want to be outside with Ryder and Molly.  Penny settled for entertaining Cole. Randy took Ryder, Molly and Hallie for a ride in the side by side.

February 2025

 

February 2-  I love that Penny and Scottlynn are starting to interact some.  Penny was being so nice to share "her" dolls.

February 3 - Snow!

February 4 - I got to take Hallie to a late lunch or early dinner. I picked her up from school and she chose to go to McDonald's.  She loved having the play area all to herself. She was thrilled to get ice cream.  She chose this cute doll and got a balloon.  It was a good day. Hallie is such a fun, kind of sassy, mostly happy girl.  I can't believe she's turning 6 on Feb. 6th!

February 6 - Penny is a good little helper to clean up her breakfast mess.

We had little tiny cupcakes for Hallie's birthday.  She was thrilled!

February 8 - Watching Ryder play basketball!

After his game, we went to Idaho Falls and picked up some Coasta Vida and took it to my Mom for a little birthday surprise.  She loved it! I'm sad that I didn't get a picture.

After lunch with Mom, we went to watch Clark play. 

Then, we got to go watch Annie!

Clark loves Scottlynn and she definitely loves him.  She's learning to smile for the camera.

Clark practiced shooting during time outs and after the game.  Brian told him he couldn't leave until he made one.  

February 9 - Annie and Scottlynn snuggling, Scottlynn eating a lot, and Scottlynn checking out Cole and the toy he's laying under, then she's glad to get to play with it.

Super Bowl food!

Hallie thought the spit cake was so awesome.  Kansas City Chiefs on one side and a princess for Hallie on the other side.

Penny thought it was fun to sit by anyone and everyone.  Hallie danced with Scottlynn. Even Cole had a Chiefs shirt.  It was a fun day, even if the Chiefs didn't play so well.

February 12 - My Mother's Day orchid is blooming again.  Penny is "playing" with Cole and feeding her doll in the high chair.

February 13 - Penny and her tiny baby are really enjoying Sesame Street.

February 14 - We started the day off with a good snowstorm.  Jared was so nice to come and plow us out.

I went to lunch at the Parkwood Valentines Day Luncheon.  Kayleen and her kids came too.  We ended up winning some nice prizes.  I was even the grand prize winner.  It was a fun day.

We went to Wendy's with Jared's family.  The girls loved it.

February 15 - More snow.  Looks like some cat tracks on the patio. 

We got to watch Ryder play more basketball.

Then we went to watch Clark.  It was a funny situation, the opposing team didn't show up, so they let random people play against Clark's team.  Brian, Maden, Annie and two other people were on the court sometimes.  Clark said it was the funnest game ever.

We got to watch Annie play, too.  Scottlynn is getting used to being at the games.  Clark had to shoot until he made it again.

February 16 - More snow.

Another Sunday dinner.  Ryder and Molly got their own private little table.  Molly was wearing her spaghetti on her face. 

We played an extra long game of Uno Attack.  It seemed like the game that would never end.

Then, we played a fun little marble balancing game.  

February 19 - I got some new end tables and Michelle came and put them together.  Penny looks like a small teenager with a phone.  The end tables look really nice.

February 20 - I cleaned out and rearranged the Office closet.  It's so much better.

We got some more snow.  Penny loved laying on the warm rug where the furnace vent is.  She wasn't happy when it turned off.

February 21 - Blake and I tried to go to Lava Hot springs, but that didn't work out, so we ended up at Downata Hot Springs.  It was very nice, we enjoyed it.

February 22 - Watching Ryder play more basketball.  Even Cole woke up to watch.

February 25 - Cole got a turn to sit in the high chair.  He seemed to be intrigued by the monkey. He's getting so big!

February 27 - Beautiful morning!

We did a thing....We bought a new car.  It's a Lincoln Nautilus.  It's very fancy and will be a big learning curve for us old folk.  I think we'll really like it, eventually.  They have the color listed as diamond red, but it looks more black or maroon or purple.  We traded the Escape for it.
