Luck of the Irish

Really, it's March already?  Though in a way that's fine by me as it means summer is approaching. We enjoyed some gorgeous sunrises.

We thought this mouthwash dispenser at a public place was interesting...

Yep Cal, I think most everyone would have an skin allergy to poison ivy and uranium, haha.

Not sure what this is but.....

I enjoyed putting together some St. Patrick's Day goodie bags for the team members at Lee's office.

I ordered the cookies.  Aren't they amazing?!

Nice snack.

More skiing!  Warm out this evening which was nice. Not nice when the snow melts and then is icy.

I made a double chocolate cheesecake.  It was delicious!

Cal, Shanna and Haley had their annual festival recital.  It went well!

Yep, Clark is in the nap stage of teenage years.

Shanna and Haley came with me to a babyshower for Alisa Bell.  It was really cute.

The kids enjoyed opening the loot for St. Patrick's Day.

We all loved corned beef and cabbage!

FHE activity at Hillandale Park!

There is a fun trail there and a little BMX track.

Cal sold some candy bars for a fundraiser at the middle school.  He ended up being the highest seller in his grade.  Way to go Cal on accomplishing your goal!


The elementary school holds an art night, which my kids love (well, I don't think Clark went).  Cal had fun with the clay.  The frog is Cal's creation.  It's called the Ooki Nooki frog.

Elden is 10!

Wow, all of our kids are double digits!  So crazy!  I must say I do enjoy having older, more self-sufficient kids around.

Before we head in to Elden's birthday the kids went on another temple trip to the Philadelphia Temple!

My kids love pushing a stroller around. Go figure.

So great being at the temple with cousins and Grandpa!

My kids like to edit photos and add tag lines....

Don't see a double match everyday!

Elden pulling double duty in the kitchen.

We had a lesson on building our foundation on the rock of Christ.  Not a sandy foundation.

It's funny seeing some of the Legos around the house and the different poses.

Yep!  We have one cool Lee!

This was hilarious.  Dr. Robinson.  The Dentist.

The start of Elden's birthday cake.

Elden invited Lois, Darrell and Daniel and families for his birthday.  And they all came!

Sister Ray!  One of our awesome missionaries.

Clark belting out Happy Birthday!

Elden received some fun presents from cousins and siblings.

Shanna made a pinata with candy for Elden to break.

On Elden's actual birthday he invited a couple friends and our friends the Petersons.

Grandpa and Grandma Bartholomew's card.

Grandpa and Grandma Robertson's card.

Happy Birthday Elden!  We sure love you.  I love waving to you as you ride off to school.  It's so sweet and makes me a little sad, but so glad you like waving to me.
