Emily's Birthday

Emily is so excited to be a teenager!  She turned 13 yesterday.  She invited four friends to her party.  They spent time hanging out in her room, then we went to dinner at Olive Garden.  We had made a reservation and we got right in, and even got a table that was basically in its own room.  After dinner we went back to our house for Coldstone cake and presents.  I think it's safe to say that everyone had a wonderful time!!!

Happy Birthday, sweet girl!!!

February Events



The kids have had a lot of activities this month.  Daniel's Wolf Den went to the Gilbert LDS Temple for their Duty to God Footsteps adventure.  Daniel insisted on taking a selfie.

Emily and her dance class went to Feed My Starving Children.  I got to go and chaperone. :-)

I helped in Andrew's class for his Valentine's Day party

Michael and I went to an 80s Valentine's Dance.  We got the Endurance Award because we were out on the floor dancing almost the whole time.  No mention of talent, just endurance!

Andrew and Daniel had fun at their Blue and Gold Banquet.  The theme was Mexican Fiesta, as you can see.

I "mustachio" a question

Friday was the Fun Run at the boys' school.  I helped mark laps for Daniel's class. 

I am so grateful that I am able to be a full time mom and go to all of these events!!!
