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.

January 2025


 
Which layout do you like best for this years version of our family picture?

January 1 - Clark was a great help taking down the Christmas decorations.  I got to have a fun conversation with Cole.


We celebrated cute little Scottlynn's 1st birthday a day early.  

January 2 - We got a pretty good snowstorm. Thank you Randy for plowing our driveway.

January 4 - I got some fun new chair covers for the dining chairs.  I love them.

January 9 - Penny's cute curled hair. She's definitely enthralled in watching Daniel Tigers Neighborhood even though she did not want to watch it.

January 12 - There's definitely still some jealousy for Penny when I hold Scottlynn.

Penny knows what Scottlynn is doing at all times. Scottlynn loves to "walk" if you hold both her hands.  Penny decided to sit between Brian and Aubrey.  Scottlynn knew to smile for the selfie, then she wanted to click the button.  She's pretty good at entertaining herself, and then she took a nap on the floor.

January 16 - Penny sure is enjoying whatever show is on TV while I fold clothes.

January 17 - Not much snow this time.

January 18 - We got to watch Clark play basketball.

Then, we got to watch a few minutes of Annie's game.

Then, we got to go watch Molly dance.

Then, I got to watch Penny and Hallie be silly while we were waiting for Molly to come out.

Then, Blake got to cut Cole's fingernails.  He doesn't look too thrilled.

January 21 - We got to go to Texas Roadhouse with Brian, Aubrey, Declan and Scottlynn.  Scottlynn loves having her own big roll.

January 22 - I think it's so funny how these little ones know about selfies.

January 23 - Penny entertained herself in our closet while I put clothes away. Cole got another manicure.

January 24 - The beautiful Pocatello Temple on a cold, crisp day.

January 25 - Clark's playing ball again.  He's just a little smaller than the kid he's guarding.

Scottlynn loves to go "walking".  My gloves entertained her for quite a while.

January 26 - It must be a real interesting football game that Brian, Scottlynn and Randy are watching. Hallie's playing with Scottlynn and Penny's in a box and thinks she's very funny.

January 28 - I was pretty proud of the way Penny's hair turned out.  She wasn't very sure about wearing the hat she made at the library.

January 31 - Beautiful sunrise as I was leaving the gym.
