April 2024

April 2 - Oh, this Penny girl.  She loves blankets! And she also loves to wear her bib and see herself in the mirror.  Hallie lost two teeth!

April 4 - This was the most gorgeous sunrise I've ever seen! So many vibrant colors! It was breathtaking!

Blake and Randy went to Brian's to haul some dirt to hopefully help their basement from flooding.  This funny Penny really doesn't want to walk on her feet, she prefers to "walk" on her knees.

April 5 - I went to the Pocatello temple in the morning, then to Idaho Falls and put this cup holder on Mom's wheelchair.  She seemed to like it.  

May 8 - Partial eclipse - It was pretty cloudy, I didn't have any glasses, but I took these pictures with my phone.  In each one there is a blue little half moon.  I don't know if it's a reflection or what.  I didn't even notice it in the photos for a couple of days.

April 9 - Hallie says "take my picture" as she climbs on the playground at McDonald's. 

April 12 - Another wonderful sunrise.  Molly got to spend the night, and chose to buy strawberries for breakfast.  She had fun "painting" these cute pictures.

Ryder got to come over for a bit.  We played "go fish" He thought he was funny to hide behind his cards.  We chased a cat on the patio. He had me time him as he ran around the house. 

April 13 - Penny got to help Grandma mow the lawn for the 1st time this year.

We had our Easter or Spring treasure hunt.  We started out by having pizza, it was a  little windy, but the kids ate outside anyway.

The kids all still like "hunting" and their Dads are good sports about hiding.

This is the best I could do getting a picture of all the grandkids together. You can't see Declan very well and Jared and Brian get to be in the picture too.

The last round of the treasure hunt was a free for all.  Even Penny got to go hunt for candy.

The kids had fun playing with their bubble rockets out in the driveway.


Penny and Scottlynn had some fun playing with toys, chairs and swings for awhile. 

April 14 - Penny reading a book in church. Then, it was a nice enough day to play outside and play pickle ball. 

April 15 - This time it's a beautiful sunset!

April 16 - Sunrise! Scottlynn came to see Grandpa at lunch!

April 17 - Snow!!

April 18 - This is not how the walker will help Penny learn to walk. 

April 20 - It was almost an Angel Moroni eclipse.  

Molly, Hallie and Penny are helping Brian and Jared put up a new backboard.  Blake is testing out Brian's new dirt bike.

April 21 - Scottlynn gets to try out the walker, and she took a nice little nap on the bed. 

April 22 - More of God's artwork. 

April 23 - It was finally nice enough to go for a little walk on the trike to the Little Free Library.  Hallie loves to choose a book!

Then it was a party in the driveway for Hallie and Penny.

April 24 - Jared and Blake got some projects done in Jared's yard.  Penny loved watching her dad move some dirt around.  Hallie loved riding on the 4 wheeler and on the trencher. 

April 25 - This time Grandpa got to go to the Little Free Library.  It's so fun to have in our little neighborhood.

April 28 - Penny and Grandpa are really intrigued with the movie "Wish".

April 30 - Penny found the picture collage in the dining room, she was telling us some good jibber jabber about the pictures. Then she loved playing with some boxes and styrofoam.  

Michelle came to put together two cabinets for the two guest bathrooms.  She had a little bit of help! The cabinets turned out so good!  Thanks, Michelle!
