Valentine's Day!


Always great going to the temple! Haley went with her friend Emma Hartman. 



Gulp, the car died again! I was on my way to Shanna's track meet. Lee came with Elden. They left me the truck and rode home with the tow guy. 



I got to see some of the track meet!



Another week has flown by and we get to chat with Elder Robertson again!


Elden off on his OneWheel.


Had fun doing some Valentine treats for the young women and ministering sisters. 


Got these for the young men. Elden handed them out. They didn't seem very excited haha. 




"Aunt Heidi's" cookies!

 Ice skating for a youth activity. Shanna stayed home that night.








Elden and Brennon were skating and flipping over the edge of the rink pretending they weren't paying attention and flipped over the side. They made a couple of videos-pretty funny.


Snagged some sushi from the restaurant right by there. 

On the way home the kids wanted to stop for a Chick-fil-A run.

Another great morning at the temple! I love our temple training meetings.  Some of my favorite church meetings!

Plato Closet time.

A fun cutting board we saw somewhere.

Elden pulled out his RC car. 


Haley, Lee and I went to Little Women at Blackfriar's Playhouse! 


I should clarify that we tried.  It was a preview night so they could stop the performance at any time if something needed to be corrected. AND it did.  Right when they were to start they stopped the play. We waited about a half hour and they said they they were cancelling the show tonight but that we could come back anytime, even though we were pay-what-you-will guests.  Very kind of them!  We will have to rechedule. 

I love Elden's new jacket! Haha not sure who took this. 

We're always tired after a seminary run!

Lee took the plunge and hacked back the holly bush! Elden helped a bit as well. 


Another track meet! This is at the new indoor track facility by Rockingham Park. 


Some yummy treat...

Funny to see the skeleton dressed up through the seasons. Basketball time!

Haley made a breakfast creation!

This was the first time some renters left a mess. It wasn't too bad but more than we've ever dealt with. Thankfully Lee was able to help me! 

So great to talk to Elder Robertson!

We had our friends over one night, Banita and two of her girls Sierra and Laiyona. We were talking about Cal and told them about the toilet paper that he drew on haha. Here is an old picture. 

I made a blueberry cream cheese Danish. So good!

World Market! 


Cute plants at Trader Joes. 

I went walking outside one day and it was snowing....got some on me. 


Ciera came in February for a writing retreat and stayed at the basement. We met her for lunch on Monday at Hands of Home for pretzels again.  We brought back some treats to Lee's team members. And the kids had school canceled haha. 

Yep, more snow!

Despite the snow, we headed to DC for a Cody Fry concert. Kind of silly of us to drive on the horrible roads. We were 45 minutes late, but still enjoyed the concert! And we made it home safely. We almost spent the night outside of DC with the idea to head home early in the morning. But we decided after the concert to just go home. 







The concert was really good!


Not sure when this was....probably before we got all the snow. We loaded up the truck and tried to deliver a load to the dump but they closed early due to the weather. Ugh. We got it all done though in the following days. 

More snow time!










Shanna and her giggles!  The friends came over for a little bit after sledding. 




Cookies for our ministering sisters!

Lee left me some yummy treats for Valentine's Day. 

Some Valentine goodies for the kids!


Lee and I met up with the Bell's for lunch--super yummy.


And like the the snow is gone!

The first grade teachers at the elementary school gave me these goodies for doing copies for them. So sweet!

We watched Sam's kids for 3 days while they went on a get-away.  Hannah was hilarious and called us "Uncle Lee Wants a Cracker" and "Aunt Ruth Wants a Cracker"



Saturday Shanna had a track meet and they joined me for part of that. 









That night they got ice cream. 

Shanna at the meet!  She got first place in hurdles!

We were looking through a BYU-Idaho magazine and saw this. Preston Ramsey used to be in our ward several years ago. Too funny.

Getting ready for church!

We signed up to have the YSAs join us for dinner that Sunday. 


Hannah and Uncle Lee Wants a Cracker!



Hello Elder Robertson! It was this call or another one soon that we found out he'll be training!
