The first 10 days of Feb 2015

Neil loves to play Quixx with anybody he can convince to play with him.

Mark's band getting ready for their state auditions.

Jessie had another fun afternoon of picture taking.

Playing rummy cube on a Saturday afternoon. I'm pretty sure the rules say for 12 and up but Neil didn't read that part.

Time for science projects again, although I can't remember what Spencer with testing but he had to record the temperature every so many seconds.

For Mark’s Christmas date we went to a BYU volleyball game. Emma did not enjoy it at all and cried most of the time, so I was out walking around the track with her. When Ken finally took her she fell asleep. Lucky him. Afterwards we had ice cream at Sub Zero. I love Christmas dates.

After Sunday dinner at Ken's parents house Mark started playing waterfall and a little dance team developed. Although not in this picture Grandma joined Spencer on the end. Emma just stood staring at the whole thing wondering what in the world was going on.

Mark has been writing letters to Grandma Woodward in Salt Lake and Grandpa Fry on Sunday afternoons. This is his 30th letter. And this is Jessie's #discoverthebook post.

Emma loves it when the kids practice the piano.

These honey cookies turned out perfect.  So Jessie practiced her photography skills with some of the new crystal goblets grandma gave us.

This is how Emma folds her arms for prayer.  Her tiny hands under her chin is just adorable.

Neil drew me some dragons to hang up on my craft room door. Do you love the cool wings and the big eyes?

A warm day in February calls for a picnic at lunch.  Poor Isaac missed out he had already gone down for his nap.

Jessie and another friend taking more pictures on South Main.

Emma loves to be pushed around in this little car. She and Isaac are laughing at each other; it was a great afternoon.

Rachel came down and the kids helped her juice a ton of pomegranates. Then she made pomegranate sauce to top a cheesecake. Delicious!

The little boys were so excited to wake up to her making them special pancakes. Neil picked to have his name. And Isaac picked a swordfish.

A couple of Saturday face paints.

Emma's first bike ride. By the time we got the tires aired up and the bike seat on she didn't have too much time to decide if she actually like riding around or not.

Mark, Neil and I went to the park to ride around a couple of times. We are sure enjoying this nice weather.

Abbie’s science fair project was to see which cleaner would soak up the most oil. I can't remember which one won.

Neil drawing more pictures for me. These ended up on my bedroom door.

Besides pomegranate cheesecake topping, Rachel made a giant glass of pomegranate lemonade.

One creative boy.

Happy birthday to Grandpa. Neil was surprised when Grandpa beat him to blowing out the candle.

A few pictures from a rainy day.

Jessie’s happy soup.

Abbie and I tried making cream puffs for the first time and man they are so easy!!!   We were all excited to get one for our FHE treats!
