End of Feb beginning of Mar 2015

Caught red handed. And she thought it was so funny.

Quinn's  5th birthday party. After he blew out his candles which we convince me or not to help with. The kids got  to try some party poppers. They were more than impressed.

Spencer is so good with the little kids. Emma picked the right sibling to hang out with. Lucky her, Spencer never has a shortage of treats. Sharing some fun dip together.

Mark at the district science fair. He got 2nd place in his category.

A mission welcome home party for Kyle.

Some new cards for my next stamp day. The ones with the little banners were super popular.

Spencer’s Christmas date with us from Grandpa Fry. We took him to see The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe put on by the community theatre at Spanish Fork high school.

Emma grabbed something off the lazy susan when she had a chance. Boy would she have been in for a surprise if she'd actually gotten any.

The movie The Sound of Music celebrated its 50 year anniversary. Rachel was so excited to celebrate too! We had schnitzel with noodles, which is basically meat noodles and a white sauce, Apple strudels And dinner with the whole family. We watched the movie while we ate. Abbie brought down her marionette puppets for us to play with.  And then Rachel surprised everyone with brown paper packages tied up with string. Each person open the little box of their favorite candies. Thanks for helping us make so many memories, Rachel.

Finding some fun things to do on Sunday together this sometimes difficult, but this Sunday we had fun drawing animal parts out of a hat and adding them to a picture. Here we have a bunny eared, caterpillar body, rhino nose, beavertailed creature. Another was a camel leg, bear body,  walrus tusks, cow tail  creature.

When Ken got home he, Abbie Spencer and Neil played a couple of games of Monopoly Deal. And then Neil played Monopoly Deal with himself because apparently the other games weren't enough. He is the ultimate game boy.

It’s going to be a great day when your breakfast matches your shirt. Thanks to Neil for dying the milk blue last night at dinner.

A couple of teenagers got caught red handed. Apparently this is the new way to unload the dishwasher.

The temple was beautiful this morning when Ken got to go do a session.

Neil was so excited to prepare our lesson for FHE. It was on forgiving others.  A timely lesson since he got hurt twice by others on accident during the lesson.   I was so happy to be on top of getting things ready for family home evening here Issac’s making his treats, chocolate crinkle cookies.

Jessie and a group of her friends made tie dyed shoes with Sharpie markers and rubbing alcohol. It was a fun little party.

Playing around in a tent we made before we got ready for the day. The boys thought it was hilarious how Emma’s hair would stand out crazy.

A couple of Mark’s woodworking projects for his High Honors project at school. He is planning on giving them to some residents at an assisted living center here in Springville.

Abbie's bed is the place to sleep on weekends.

I put together this little book for Rachel to take on her mission of all the fun things we have been able to do together since she moved to Utah.

Jessie liked Abbie’s art project so much she decided to make one for herself.

Neil is so excited to be learning how to write his letters. We get small love notes from him all the time and they are adorable.

Jesse took my out for a little photo shoot on the front steps. A cute baby and something fuzzy is all you need to make a great picture.

Celebrating Rachel's birthday with a barbecue and German chocolate cake. A few games to finish off the evening and matching shirts for all the girls.

A Sunday hymn-along. Mark is on the left hand, Jessie is on the right, Abbie has kazoo duty and the little boys are playing on the xylophones. Just one more before bed - this is fun!

Drawing pictures together.
