Halie's 5th!

Today grandaughter Halie turned 5! I took the day off to spend some time with her and family.
Sheila had decorated the house the night before, so she awoke to balloons and crowns, and a new top for the day.

Since the weather was too cold for an outdoor adventure, Sheila chose an indoor adventure at Fat Cats; bowling, pizza, and arcades.

Then it was home to presents! Snowing outside, so she'll have to ride it another day.

After cake and naps, we hit the indoor pool, so a pretty fun day!

Night at Chuck's

Sheila's friends, Becky and Kelly and boys, threw a party for Halie tonight at Chuck E. Cheese.
Halie will be 5 next week. She was so excited and enjoyed every minute of it.

Easter Fun!

Five of our nine grandchildren came to hunt eggs and play for a couple hours Easter weekend.


Poised for the hunt...Halie, Alexis, Kristin, Tyler and Camron

Yes, there was snow on the ground, and temps were around 40, but Easter came anyway.

Camron's quick grab on the run.

Lexi not sure what to do, but having fun anyway.

I think she could have used a bigger bucket.

Hold that reach for the camera. Tyler and Halie.

New hoola hoops for everyone!

Conference Weekend

Sheila and the girls are living with us while Jon finds a job in Arizona. Our General LDS Church Conference was held this past weekend (Apr.-3-4), which we watch on tv from our home....2 2-hour sessions on Sat., and 2 2-hour sessions on Sunday. The girls had their baths, dressed in new outfits, and played while we "watched".
