Spring Fun 2020

 While I was in Idaho boys went to the Campbell's for a fire.
They also went to the Veramendi Valentine's Dance.  Autumn and Sophia entertained themselves and Logan by dancing with him.
 The Feed Store had bunnys, pigs, ferrets, chicks and geese.  What a good day to stop!
 Temple Date
 Sophia is ecstatic she gets to go to Mormon Prom (all youth turning 16 this year get to go)  She wanted to go to Lucky Bucks, a dress consignment store.  She found this amazingly beautiful dress (the detail is amazing) we decided it would be too hard to alter it, but can still appreciate it as a detailed and beautiful dress.


More working out with Dad! These boys are going to be fit!

 Porter's room... a miracle!
Scout is wearing  a path in the face running back and forth of the fence hollering at the dog next door!
Turns out, all four wheels were flat! Lol!  That's why it was a struggle to push even with all of them working together.
 Family Monopoly Game... I love to play any game except Monopoly, too many games as a kid.  But the kids really enjoy it!
 Family dish duty

 Porter may come by his tendancy to overstock on a good deal... I couldn't pass up mandarin oranges at half price!
 Birthday Party for Logan's friend Tyler, all he wanted as $5 from each friend so he could buy a toy at Target.  He gave Logan a great big hug!
 Doug game home to both of them perched like this, Logan with phone in hand getting directions on how to make a green smoothie from me.  It was a scary sight, hand poised on the start button, Doug not sure if everything was in place, or if in a few moments the kitchen would be covered in green.
 Babysitting Freia, Kenya's baby.
 Ab workout with DAD

 Logan wanted to pose for this picgture

Ethan's Cookbook


One of Preston's goals for the new youth program is to make a cookbook.  He tested a monkey bread recipe.  It was so tasty!

Mom's Birthday

 Birthday Signs
 Breakfast in bed with fancy cinnamon roll pancakes

 Birthday Hike



 Birthday Dinner from Gruene River Grill and a delicious Fallen Chocolate Cake
 All of the kids were sweet with their birthday cards and gifts... Sophia gave me a jar with our pictures on it and inside were 44 slips of paper, each paper detailing a different thing that she loves about me!  Awwww.... I felt so loved... Maybe my favorite present ever! So thoughtful and heartfelt and genuine.  I am so blessed.

Spring Break 2020- Port Aransas

 Mom drove so Dad could work
 When Dad got done working he moved into the back seat, so he could watch the movie.  Logan snuggled right up... Awwww....


 We rented a beach house and were able to walk to the beach.


 While it was too chilly for mom, the kids had no problem diving in.
 Football

 Burying themselves
 Lots of boogy boarding


 Sand castles

 and Sun

 Feeding the sea gulls
 A sand castle building contest


 The pool where we stayed (it was soooo cold)
 We ate in so we would have more time to enjoy the nice place we stayed in.
